Are there any natlangs with phonemic /tɹ̝̊/ or /dɹ̝/? I know Icelandic has /ɹ̝̊/ and /ɹ̝/.

My computer ate my second post, on verbs. Either way, it'd be a little less speedy than I thought [xP] . I like some of your design decisions like limiting plurality on nouns to humans and the partial reduplication on polysyllabic words. Just for my own purposes because I am developing a language th...

Figured a high-speed lang would be a little fun. I've been incredibly blocked conlang-wise for going on 6 months now, and I figured it would be useful to unblock things by doing a very quick speedlang. The phonemic inventory is: /p t c k q/<p t c k q> /h/<s/h> /m n ɲ ŋ/<m n ñ ng> /l ɹ ʎ j/<l r ll y>...

IIRC there's a Qiangic language which recently underwent monosyllabicization, but in such a way that the permitted clusters were identical in onset and coda--i.e. [ClaCl] was valid but [ClalC] wasn't.

Do you have a map of your setting?

I'm ready to go if yall wanna start the servers!

I trust you fwiw, but whichever is most desired for yall is fine by me.

Okay that's 7 people so far including myself. We just need at least one more person to have 2 group of 4. Besides Creyeditor, does anyone have a problem with using discord? I have no idea how to make a forum with channels that only certain people can see, but I do know how to do that with discord. ...

I'd be down!

I have a little bit of a tricky situation with my conlang Sembenese, which I made up a long time ago as a speedlang on this very board and which I'm currently reviving. Sembenese is currently supposed to do the Basque thing of having a relatively small number of verbs, with most acting as auxiliarie...

Fua "Germanic" maŋ hóó fafi, xoŋax hóó hepepere fménax.
voice Germanic COND be fun.thing but exist too.many-vowel rounded
"Germanic langs would be fun, but there are too many front rounded vowels."

Hhhh.
Eww.

Which one of these do you think is the most pleasing? I have inventory 1 for my current project, but I've been thinking of switching to 2, as I quite like the minimalism: Inventory 1: /p b t d t͡s d͡z t͡ʃ d͡ʒ k g q/ /t͡s' t͡ʃ' k' q'/ /s z/ /s'/ /m n ŋ/ /l ɾ w/ Inventory 2: /p b t d t͡s d͡z k g q/ /s...

I've been trying to conlang in a way which is less formal and standard, and is instead more ad-hoc. This thread will be an attempt to make a language out of the muck, with scraps taken shamelessly from natlangs and my former projects, as well as glossolalia and reparsing random gibberish. I'm in the...

Aslian languages are wildly underrated and underused in conlangs--they do some pretty interesting stuff with non-configurational morphology.

Tense and evidentiality are both marked periphrastically on verbs, in a way which is lightly intertwined. An unmarked verb is understood to be direct and past . hwõb "(Someone) prayed (and I saw it)" pŋágg "(someone) died (and I heard it)" To make the verb indirect, one adds the ...

I don't totally understand your alignment--is it split intransitivity?

I quite like your inventory--especially the voicing harmony. Is there a natlang that does that? Either way it's very cool, especially the social variation in the voiceless nasals.

The Koteg Language (Koteg: <Ğghő ʔotegg> [ɣgo̰˥ ʔo˨.te˩g]) is my latest conlang project. It's intended to be an inversion of what I normally do in my conlangs: tonal, isolating, noun-incorporating, and loads of fricatives and front-rounded vowels. It's intended to be naturalistic but a bit weird as ...

Made a new language via some shallow diachronics. Like it a lot. Amusingly the 2nd person pronoun is /ju/.
