Re: Question - Languages with inconsistent spelling systems?

Learn to spell and let the grown-ups do the talking, Zelos. Edit: Actually, learn some decent English, for a change. You're not one to claim that you are a "grown-up" yourself, which should be obvious but clearly isn't to you... Thank you. You've also got cases where the boundary between "language"...

Re: Question - Languages with inconsistent spelling systems?

How on earth is that a problem? That's not even an irregularity! Maybe it's just me, but when I make con-alphabets, I have a strict "each phoneme gets its own unique letter, no exceptions" policy. If you skip the whole natural script comming from previous scrips, usually when adopted/made the diffe...

Re: Counting adpositions

I love the discussion here but I would still love seeing if the richest one is counting around 200, 500, or even in the thousands? are there languages that musters to the fifth magnitude in countable adpositions or?

Re: Word lists

I'm not sure I like their list for another reason though: It's enormous, going into way too much detail, it would take way too long to go though it. (Or even find something in it, why is there no table of contents?) Oh, sorry, I just didn't upload it. It's a separate file. http://cl.ly/2B3l33272U0D...

Re: The Problem with Conlanging

I came to terms with the fact that people will show scant interest in my conlanging and conworlding efforts many, many years ago. And, to be honest, that makes me happy because the thought of being well known doesn't excite me. Like I'm a signed-up member of the anti-celebrity culture. those who se...

Re: Con-mathematical systems

All previous ones are correct, under the same initial assumptions of mathematics (Axioms) all societies reach the same conclutions ultimately no matter how isolated they are.

Quick question, why do languages tend to develop allomorphs such as first/second/third/etc declension as many languages have and more?

ar/er/ir verbs in spanish and more.

Does it only have to do with being easier to pronounce or something else?
