Looks awesome!

Just for the lulz, I'd like to post some things here I recognized when comparing the nominal morphology stuff already available of the T1 languages. I don't know if we should do the reconstruction thing here or on the Akana forum, but I guess it'd be interesting to the other ZBBers to follow the dis...

Sorry that I have been so inactive in the past months, but I had other things to do (especially for school) and this will not change for the next 2 weeks or so. However, this does not mean I had silently dropped out or had lost my interest in the project or anything. I just need more time. And by th...

The same counts for Wokatasuto.

The Swabian version of this one how I would pronounce it: Dr Baabschd had s Spätzlesbschdegg zschbääd bschdelld. The pope ordered the cutlery for the Spätzle too late.

I'd like to go there.

Still waiting =)

I'd like to join. Especially if it's going to be set in Akana.

I hope that could also be a way to raise my interest again to work on Hośər/Źéylak ...

Btw, which Low Alemannic dialect is that exactly? Südbadisch? Er...it's the dialect of South Baden. (I han früehner z Friburg im Brisgau gwohnd.) Thus Oberrheinalemannisch. The problem with "Südbadisch" is that it's used for both High and, in your case, Low Alemannic dialects, usually sperated into...

I've got nothing on it coming into existence, but as for other languages, my historical linguistics professor mentioned that (at least some varieties of) Swiss German make use of it. He seemed to think there was little or no distinction between it and English, but I sort of doubt that. I don't know...

My German dialect seems to have [ɢ], [ɢ̥] as allophones of /g/ (including standard /k/ ) after /ʀ/ [ɑ̠ˤ]:

[ˈmɛɑ̠̯ˤɢɜ] to notice cf. standard <merken> [ˈmɛa̯kʰən]
[(ʔ)ɑ̠ˤːɢ̥] very

The same might count for adjacent Low Swabian dialects, too.

Does anyone have any idea the origin of the surname Nuppenau/Neppenau? Is it of German origin, perhaps?

Probably this helps a bit.

Alpic would be spoken in SE Switzerland in the eastern part of Graubünden canton, Basically around real life Davos and south along the Inn River. In this alternate world the speakers (who are called Elpish in English) form a 5th ethnic group in Switzerland. First question here then: What's the numb...

Where exactly is the language spoken in the 21st century? I ask because you said somewhere in the SE Alpes, but where exactly? What are the influences from the Romance and Germanic idioms around there in terms of the lexicon? Does the phoneme /w/ represent Proto-Danubian /w/? If yes, and given that ...

A funny construction in my German dialect I discovered after having met some older family members who use the dialect much more often: Where it's Ich kam, um sie zu sehen in Standard German for engl. "I came to see them", I heard constructions like [i bɪ̃n ͡tsʊ̃mn di ˈseː.ɜ ˈkʰɔ̜̃.mɜ], lit. Ich bin ...

Eh, I just wanted to say that I am just finishing completely new sound changes for Hošər because I had problems with implementing the old on my SCA (which was actually the reason why I hadn't been working on the language for so long, I finally lost interest in applaying all those changes by hand, I ...

The translation of the first part of the sample text into Hośər is up on the wiki, together with some nominal morphology stuff.

My German dialect (spoken in the east of Heilbronn, Baden-Württemberg) belongs originally to the South Franconian dialect group, but you can recognize a great influence of North Swabian dialects from the regions southwards. As other southern German dialects, we dont really distinguish between unvoic...

Sound changes from Çetázó to Hośər and its phoneme inventory are now up on the wiki, by the way.

If possible, I'd like to join in and make another descendant of Çetázó.
