Re: The World of Paga

Yay!

It was a cool language, I'm glad it didn't just disappear forever into the scrap hole. I know I'd be guilty of scrapping, but it doesn't seem like you scrap anything...

How long have you been conlanging?

Re: Historical Linguistics Mini-Challenge

It was a hard one, especially now with the answers in front of us. Still good food for thought, and it does give you things to consider when making these, which I certainly intend to do more of. I'm making one now, but I hope that I'm not making it too complex, or incorrectly... I'm so inexperience...

This is my best try. I'm not too experienced with sound changes or historical linguistics.

This sounds like fun. I'll try it out.

Is everything pronounced as in IPA more or less?

Re: Obscure Natlangs

The spelling is <ko rabwa>, <w> is /βˠ/. But isn't <bw> /pˠ/ ? The only consonant clusters that are allowed in Gilbertese are, AFAIK, nasal+C. Never a stop + fricative. <bwa> may also be spelt <b'a>, as in this tutorial . Oh, I must have gotten something confused then.
