Re: (C&C) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
I'd highly recommend arpents. The term is so unknown that you can put it between 50-100m and nobody will notice unless they speak French.

Re: Commonthroat: a language that only a dog could probably pronounce
You could make it work on everything but persons. "Meses and youses" sounds funny for us, so it wouldn't be such a weird rule. Or better yet, just make it a classifier like in Dungan Chinese (basically central Asian Mandarin with only one, yes, only one, classifier) - it can only take noun...

Re: (L&N) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Irish seems a very rich language. And also very confusing.
Are things like this common today? A lot of these really sound like one lives in the countryside or something.

Re: A N Y O N E recognise this language please?
I've looked the recording over. I apologize, but I'm not sure what it is. Maybe it's a kind of Chinese? If there were more words, maybe I would be able to fig. it out, so next time you are there and hear things like that, come post on this thread, and I'll see what I can do. And as well, if you want...

Re: The Lonely Galaxy Megathread (comments encouraged)
I think the plow idea isn't so bad (humans have done that from time to time), assuming they want expedited fields. I realize the main question, though, would be what they ate. Once we know that, then farming techniques will be easier. I assume steadtrees were commonly grown. (If it is of any interes...

Re: Osage script variant for Menominee
Theoretically! The truth is, I don't think the Navajo would be interested, as I presume they must like their old script a lot. I did make a syllabary for Alibamu once, and this one native lady was very pleased with it - so maybe I could try there.

Re: Commonthroat: a language that only a dog could probably pronounce
I've looked through the grammar, up until the verb section. Here are my thoughts: Overview: The grammar seems easy enough to understand. Note that it assumes a basic amount of lingistic knowledge (such as knowing what persons are). I have yet to see how the verb section plays out. Pointers: - “and o...

Re: (L&N) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Probably the best advice e I can give is to pick up info on some other languages. Knowing how weird human languages can get can inspire your own. That being said: One area you might want to play around with is word order. Another thing you might want to do is approach how they view things themselves...
