I thought as much. Obviously it would have been "cheating", but just by comparing all the % figures you gave everyone's guesses, *ma and *man were the only options left.

Remember: Chi won't show, but capital x will. 1. As you just showed, it can be divined from context 2. Capital X looks terrible and I won't use it 3. χ does show for me so I will continue to use it /m n ŋ/ m n ƞ /p t k/ p t k /tθ ts tɬ tʃ/ z c ź ć /kθ ks kɬ kx/ ż ċ ẑ ĉ /s/ s /v l j/ v l y /i i: y y...

What language(s) are both polysynthetic (in the sense of having verbs with very many morphemes) and fusional (in the sense that morpheme boundaries are blurred and much is expressed with mutations and other such processes)? Several NAM languages are (e.g. Kashaya, Pawnee, ...) – on the surface at l...

Have you described them somewhere?

No, not yet. I may expand this category before I write it up too.

Ai is not really polysynthetic either, but it is fairly synthetic. It's got five directional prefixes (up, down, upstream, downstream, and towards/into) and some fairly lexical "aspect" prefixes which include some adverb-ish senses like "until" and a transformative. Sadly none of...

I admire the entrepreneurial spirit of your Wizards.

Idk google it

Also, how exactly do I mod my keyboard options as is? Vap told me something about this a while ago but I forgot it, so I need to find where he said it to me... I can tell you again. For me, on Mac, I downloaded an app called Ukelele which lets you make new keyboard layouts, and made one with IPA + ...

simply use a font that that contains them (dejavu, arial,...)
and insert special characters...

that takes a very long time ...

How are people able to use LibreOffice for conlangs? I just made a new keyboard – which is incredibly easy on mac* (so easy that even a computer-illiterate moron like myself can do so). So I can type everything except fucking ɣ which I forgot to include and am too lazy to fix, regardless of applica...

When I use LibreOffice, some of the features feel like they just made them different from how they work on word to avoid being sued. But overall I might even venture to say it's got a better interface than word.

Fredauon Fun Fact #25 The so-called Dwarves are victims of forced child labour working in the mines of the southern Great Mountains in order to provide the Wizard Republic with precious metals Outsiders -unaware of the facts- consider them an ethnic group.

I was planning to work on our lang last weekend, but then I didn't, but I'll work on it tomorrow. I'm sure we can come up with a descendant each in a month or two.

LibreOffice is pretty good. I personally hate google docs (for no reason).

Based on something Gleb gave me:

/p t k q/
/b d g/
/ɓ ɗ/
/f s/

/i u ɛ ɔ a/
/ɛ̃ ɔ̃ ã/

Now for a little twist:

/ɓ ɗ q/ → [m n ŋ] | _ /ɛ̃ ɔ̃ ã/

And also

/ɓ ɗ/ → [w l] | /i u ɛ ɔ a/ _

I will never do anything with this but hey.
