Another great list . I’ll start filling in the gaps I have and post it all when I finish

Looking back on this project and I think it's by far the language I'm most proud of. I'm going to work on reviving this thread. If anyone has anyone ideas for posts I could do let me know

This one is only partially a false cognate but I think it's really interesting: :ita: oggi "today" :fra: aujourd'hui "today" When I was first learning Italian and French I just assumed that oggi was essentially a shortening of aujourd'hui by taking the first and last syllables an...

Which part of the South did you learn to talk in? And which decades?

North Florida in the 2000s

"Drink" is an example of a defective verb in English. Some people accept "I have drunk mojitos before", but a lot of native speakers simply have no past/"passive" participle for it and therefore no perfect verb TAMs at all (or at any rate, they have non-standard format...

Nouns with Silent M/N Another little addendum to an earlier post: Reintroduction of /m n/ ... Nouns ending in a silent <m n> pronounce those letters in the plural: giórn /d͡ʒoɾ/ (day) -> giôrne /d͡ʒuɾn/ (days) This group of nouns are probably my favorite in the entire language and so I thought I'd ...

-Al vs. -Ale Adjectives This post is an addendum to an earlier one about the two groups of adjectives in Gallo-Tuscan Group 2 Group 2 consists of some holdouts from the Latin third declension which haven't regularized the feminine ending. Examples include forte (strong), triste (sad), and dolce (sw...

Just added the slightly irregular plural for water to the plurals section earlier. Here it is repeated:

Thank you for the in depth post! Very interesting

English 'of' neither is nor is derived from an old dative or ablative. [it derives from an adverb, ultimately, as most or all English prepositions do (thanks, word order changes!)] Wow I didn't realize this. Does this mean that verb-preposition phrases were originally just verb-adverb phrases or we...
