Lesson/Guide Requests

[Creyeditor]

Are you looking for something specific, e.g. tone, vowel harmony, a syntactic phenomenon, or for something more general, like a reference grammar?

Something general like learning material or reference grammar. Some syntactic phenomena could be interesting too.

I’d like to request a guide to significant grammatical/syntactic/typological change, like how VO becomes OV, or how split or total ergativity develops.

Has anyone ever made a lesson/guide for Xavante? That'd be useful for getting into the mindset of a realistic OSV conlang.

I did a quick look for resources, and all I found was this set of lessons, which is in Portuguese.

On an unrelated note: while trying to navigate to this post, I got a few errors saying that "this topic does not exist." This happened when I clicked on the small arrow next to Khemehekis's name on the home screen where it showed this as the most recent post in this subforum, but didn't happen when I navigated here from the subforum itself. I just tried again, and nothing happened. It may have been a one-time thing.

Well, thanks for that link, @Arayaz, even if it is in a language I don't speak. At least I speak Spanish!

No problem! If I had a lot of time I might try to translate the relevant section into English, since I have some limited Portuguese knowledge, but I doubt I have the time to do it.
