Re: Þāpha Di-B'ār'i

I will now use the root P-G-B "kill" as my model, as it has functions in all Binyans, but I will refer to Binyanim using the Non-past participle of B'-K'-R' , thus the simple Binyan is the B'ak'aor. Past Tense Inflection of P-G-B in the B'ak'aor: 1P singular: Paogban 1P plr incl: Paogbiń 1...

Re: Qíʳ Bȁˀ Gàˀⁿ ( Dialect of Hmïőˀ Hmïőʰ Shéⁿ Kúʰ)

A small semantic note: Many verbs of motion come in pairs, one being intransitive and the other being transitive, having the meaning "had an unknown effect on the patient". An example is Zhȕⁿ "To fall (intrans)" and Hnwáˀ "To fall on (trans)". The language has split erg...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here

Okay, just to be clear. Is the following what you were trying to say? (I think there might have been a typo in your post). Your S is marked with a nominative/absolutive (n/a/d) case in all contexts. Your P is marked with the accusative case in all contexts. A is in the dative/ergative case if a) th...

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here

For animacy based split-erg systems, how naturalistic would it be, for example, if an inanimate A triggers Ergativity, if the P is inanimate, it is unmarked, but if the P is animate, it is in the dative case? The A would take what is normally the acc marker in either case. Also, can there be multipl...

Re: An Unusual Orthography (Concept)

This reminds me almost of Tibetan, but with a syllabary rather than an abugida, and a much greater importance regarding the role of the "pre-initial" (or, in this case, first syllable), and a hint of the sort of compound seen in Mandarin and related languages It reminded me of Tibetan, to...

Re: Languages with interesting phonotactics

I have seen an analysis of Khalkha :mon: that concludes it phonemically has coda clusters that (IMO) would put Georgian's initial clusters to shame; However, it has a complex system of inserting phonetic empenthetic vowels, that the Cyrillic writing system writes, which is why it looks like there is...

Re: If natlangs were conlangs

I want to congratulate the conlanger who did Assamese. When I first read your grammar, I hated it. It just seemed like Bangla pushed TO THE EXTR EME with a lot of Tibeto-Burman influence.
