Same for me, also it seems I'm kinda havin' writer's block.

I'm still lurking in the shadows working on my stuff, but I won't be able to post anything til after Xmas.......

German: Dachau Reich Brauerei ( I was talking with my grandma (she's German) last month and we we're on the topic of beer and she said this word. I LOVE this word, it's eargasm to me!!! :D diese meine Sonne Seben Zwei Himmel (Ok, I'll stop there. German is my favorite language, so I have too many w...

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...

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...

Amuere's Report: * I've posted my nation's name on the wiki " The Kingdom of Cayreri" * I've been sketching out my peoples' chonology, it will probably be ready to post to the wiki by today or tomorrow *I really need to talk with Valiums to determine the charactaristics of our sprachbund & cultural ...

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.

This map is just fine, a planet with this setup wouldn't be too improbable.

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)

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.

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. :?

Yo también soy un gringo que puede pronunciar monophthongs .... que está grabando un ejemplo hilarante exacta del acento gringo típico para el español, aunque ......

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?

WUT!?!?! Really? I quite like [x], it's actually one of my favorites.

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


I also agree that the word Rural is hellspawn....

My (GenAm, more or less) affricates tʃ and dʒ are turning into ʃ and ʒ, respectively. tʃ>ʃ is far less common in my speech, but I very rarely have dʒ anymore- it's all fricativised.
