The Great powers of Almea

Who do you think they are?/ Who are they? Myself, I'm imagining Verduria and Kebri because of the colonization and economic strength, as well as their somewhat equivalence and battling. I also imagine Dhekhnam being a great power in the same sort of sense as a Russia, with men upon men and the land ...

However, British English does sometimes allow the contraction of mainverbal "have" as well, though I'm not clear on the specific restrictions. But things like "I've a new cat" are allowed in at least some British dialects. I've heard that, now that you point it out. But it sounds weird to my Americ...

My dialect is American English, with a good amount of east coast mixing. I have "y'all". In the present, every subject (except you) is conjugated with is (you remains as "are"). In the negative, everything is ain't. In the past positive, everything is were and the past negative is weren't. "is" and ...

I'm still around, but I can't really go now because of numerous things IRL. I'd start working now but would still end up around the same due-date, give or take a few days. (Had we been on time, I would have asked to be pushed back, but it didn't seem quite necessary.) If that's the case, then I'll s...

Though I can't speak for Zompist, I can speak for myself.

Those who choose may certainly team up together and work as a pairs. But it's probably best not to impose such a structure on the whole relay. As far as splitting goes, I propose drawing up the initial plan with one split for every language for every generation, such that the number of participants...
