Re: Istion - an Age of Sail Conworld.
I think there is still some confusion as to which sprachbund scenario was chosen. I've just now officially threw in my vote on the wiki as a tie breaker, I've voted in favor of Alphabetarium's Amendment for maintaining the three regions, but subdividing the Southern Übersprachbund into two "untersp...

Re: Istion - an Age of Sail Conworld.
Quick question guys, is the Southern Sprachbund still subdivided into a Southwestern half (Leaci and Cyb) and a Southeastern half (Me and Valiums), or was it decided to divide it into to unrelated zones? I personally would prefer for the Southern Übersprachbund (yeah I'm gonna coin this new term jus...

Re: Istion - an Age of Sail Conworld.
OK can ya'll brief me on the happenings of the last coupe of days of conversation I've missed? I read to the part were you guys were talking about forming sprachbunds, are we still going with that idea because I like the idea. I'd really like to form a dialect continuum with my closest neighbor.

Re: The Age of Sail - a collab conworld sprouting
I'd like to hop onboard. I think my culture will be a pacifist merchant kingdom, I don't want to be a superpower, maybe a lesser major power if that makes sense. Strong enough to be noticed, but not taken as a serious threat by a superpower...(think pre- Russo-Japanese War Japan)

Re: What's your favorite thing about your conlang?
My favorite feature of my conlang, Alajean, is that it doesn't have a proper adjective class. Instead it only uses verbs for desciption of nouns, I have yet to perfect this feature and it gives me many headaches....but I love it.

Re: program vs. program/programme
I have /pɹoɡɹæm/ for both the noun and verb, I've heard alot of people where I live say something like /pɹoʊɡɹəm/ for the noun....it sounds so weird. In what way do you contrast /o/ and /oʊ/? Oops, that was a typo. My pronounciation has /oʊ/. Don't you mean /o/ and [oU] then? Ok, now I'm confused. :?

Using Signing exclusively?
I was thinking today, while studying sign languages. Would it be possible for a culture to some how never develop, or perhaps even lose spoken language and exclusively use sign language? I know it'd be highly improbable, but could it happen?

I've always hated the word "curb", I just don't like it at all. I also have a strong dislike of "spigot"......
