Just by looking at your maps, I can tell that the plate boundaries in Almea probably are at the bottom of the sea. You see, unlike Earth, Almea has mountains at the middle of continents and nowhere else. If the plate boundaries were located where continents and sea meet, like Earth, your mountains w...

Let's see... Apparently, "Javier" (Xavier in English) is something like "new house". So it'd translate as lebe + dom = Domlebe . "Gustavo"/"Gustav" isn't there; it means "staff of the goths". Staff is prosh ; I didn't find Goth in the dictionary so I'll leave it as it is. Goprosh --> Goproshei . "Ba...

Wrong accent?
I was just looking at the Verdurian Language Introduction page, and I noticed something: Only two other dialects have any literary development: those of Avéla (due to the importance of the city in the printing industry and as a center of the Eleďe religion) and Ctésifon (the former center of the Emp...

Well, the best description of [r] I can do is to say [s] and move the tip of the tongue a little back. It will trill alone - you don't have to force it or something. Also, you don't have to have a "good" or "gifted" tongue to do it. Just look at the millions of people with [r] in their natlangs (as ...

Despite years of Spanish, I always had the bad habit of forming the future tense as "Voy a X" instead of properly using the conjugation I should have. It wasn't actually incorrect (at least by the dialect I was learning), but it sounded a bit...juvenile. "I'm gonna do X, I'm gonna do Y" isn't the m...

Proto-Eastern question
but in (say) /aj/, it's already a consonant /j/. Something with sense would be that, for example, ew it's /e u/FROM PROTO-EASTERN PHILOLOGY: aw /aw/, ay /aj/, ey /ej/, and oy /oj/ are the only true diphthongs. Where w and y occur with other vowels they are consonantal
