Re: Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here

I'm studying Northern Sami. I studied its phonology and found that tt, pp, kk, cc, are pronouncerd simply [tt][pp][kk][tts] but dd, bb, gg and zz are pronounced[ddt][bbp][ggk] and [ddts]. This looks weird. I have supposed languages tend to assimilate soundedness. How there can be geminates which fir...

Re: Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here

I will, thanks. I was just interested. Fin-Ugric Sami has dual in verbal inflection, but dual seems to disapper easily.

I quess OLD English is not an MODERN language. Old Greek and Sanskrit have dual as well but they are not modern.

Re: Is this kind of morphology possible?

Why it wouln't be possible? Indeed, it wouldn't be very handy.
Sumerian noun phrases did something like that, not complete sentenses, anyway.
Maybe you could tell what your example means. My Latin is very poor.
Does esse -to be have an object? Maybe you could use accusative as predicative.

Re: Mountainlang

Yes ides are free to use. The copula suffix just worked a bit similarly. Left in my mind. Maybe the finnish essive that is only a noun case nothing to do with time, hampers my understanding.

Re: Hiirawə development thread

This looks natural. There are not too much similar morphemes, like my languages for example tend to have variational suffixes a, á, e, i, o, u. Natural languages don't use all possible distinctions.

Re: Mountainlang

There is palatalisation in the language? I suppose b, d and g are prenasalised stops. Marks cannot be seen. What does essive case have to do with conjunction when, or expressing time?

Re: Double Language

Im not saving time. I could be nice to do it, but you are right, with a sensibly little phonology it's impossible. I haven't even tried it. So L1 and L2 sounds are just put overlapping, between each other CKvCKvCKvCKvCK.... C' a radical of L1' and K 'a radical of L2' But think how two messages same ...

This is an interesting subject. I have never thought that that other languages say yes/no much easier than Finnish. It is really complicated to answer a negative question in Finnish.

The easiest way is just to write them. Everybody will understand. I guess they have grammatical terms but I wouldn't spend my time to find them.
