Translated another nursery rhyme into HyPry. This one has been described as sounding like someone singing a song in English backwards, while keeping a half dozen marbles in their mouth and trying to communicate with dolphins. Not exactly my intention. [:S] (Also, did some more research into Gallifre...

Been narrowing down college choices, based largely off of their cognitive science and linguistics programs. Sheesh, there's a lot - I'm still only half done and I've been going through their websites, copies of emails sent to professors and administrative people, discussions I've had with alumni, an...

I made 17/25 ths of a huge amount of vocab for Kwijin. I also recorded myself singing HyPry nursery rhymes. Maybe I'll share them. Maybe. HyPry translations of Terran nursery rhrymes, or HyPry-HyPry nusery rhymes? [¬.¬] Well... technically HyPry nursery rhymes, but they were written in English firs...

Noooooo... you're just the one who remembers this thread the most.

I... I finished the school year. Finally. Now on to college applications.

Wow. I... wow. I'd forgotten I even had this. This is a sample (the first three paragraphs of the Fellowship of the Ring) of the alphabet I concocted for Evelēranēl. Forgive the awful handwriting. It's also pretty out-of-date - perhaps I'll keep this as an archaic form of the thing. There should not...

Oh, and ate. I ate food today. This is actually kind of a rare event - I don't really like food. It's as hard for me to imagine not liking food, as it is for an alcoholic to imagine not liking to be drunk. That may be why you look like you look and I look 100% overweight. .... Be careful not to fal...

Finished waking up, started and finished studying for History exam. Ran into administrative issues with the academy so that my exam is postponed until tomorrow. Bleh.

Woke up.

I have two alien langs, one of which (Evelēranēl) was actually intended to be somewhat SAE but which ended up (despite its n00blang origins) to be surprisingly... not. Then there's HyPry, which started as a noun case game, transitioned into an intentionally kitchen-sink lang, and finally evened out ...

Wrote a French paper of doom. Studied for the history exam of doom. Played with HyPry and Gallifreyan nursery rhymes of doom. Added 'alarm', 'balloon', 'pocket', 'house', 'quantum', and 'youth' to the official HyPry lexicon of doom ( xaıx , u'uhu , blud , greg , doþle , and oınımı , respectively). O...

@Systemzwang: As was I. I don't doubt the increased accuracy of your explanation, but for someone who's just starting out, it seems a little much to take in. @ascanius: I like the intimacy idea - it gives another layer to the language that I don't think I've ever seen before. Not sure if there are n...

Hello, and welcome to the board! As Lodhas said, the best thing you can do right now is to take a peek here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet (X-SAMPA works too, but IPA is usually used on this board) and list your phonemes with their phonetic transcriptions.
