You mean "Ich angstscheiß' " ? I fear-shit =/ That's a bit silly a word. Angsty poop

Nippel sounds even more silly with the higher vowels [nipel]

Welcome aboard! You've spent more years in Munich than my entire life there (16 years there, recently moved to more linguistically exotic areas :D ) ...now I feel old :( Linguistically exotic? Whereto? Don't feel old, I'm just too young :D I'm 17 and looking at here, I feel like a toddler in a gent...

Intrusive [s] is quite... hmm... Are you me :D ? Considering I've spent the last 18 years in Munich (after 5 in Austria), I wouldn't be too surprised if our accents were similar :P Welcome aboard!

...dammit, now I'm preoccupied with my /v/ to the point where I have no idea what I'm doing naturally. I do have a tiny intrusive [s] before the [ʃ], too, though . Intrusive [s] is quite... hmm...

Aha, so my hunch wasn't without a reason

Well it's wierd, I know. Nobody from up north made such a sound. Where you from?

GschCrV ? Where did you see that? Possibly you heard ɡəʃCr Not in Standard German, no, but in fast speech, I know people - including me - who have [ˈgʃpʁɔχɴ̩] for /geˈʃprɔχən/, for example.

My favourite German-ish initial cluster is probably gʃCr-, though. Just rolls back and forth through your mouth.

This is getting good, I want to see what happens in the New World. Question about Medieval Navarre: what was the ethnolinguistic identity of the kingdom? Was it a Romance-speaking ruling class with a mostly Basque population, or just all Basque? I'm not finding any clear answers on this. Navarra in...

I once used a voiced ejective (yes it's possible, but it's more like d͡t ' )

Oh, and I want a grammar of Pirahã. I actually have that somewhere. Do you recall who it's by? Or what the title is? I've searched for "Pirahã Grammar" but all I've found is Everett's "Cultural Constraints on Grammar and Cognition in Pirahã" and Don't Sleep, There are Snakes . But what I really wan...

Let's try then 1. Absence of any phonemic POA for stops further back than velar [half mark for only one stop-POA behind velar, or for prominent allophonic stops behind velar] +0.5 2. Phonemic voicing [half mark if voicing is only part of the distinction] +1 3. Two and only two parallel series of pho...

Truth, but it does quite seem that it's rather /baχ/ than /bax/ since /χ/ occurs in more forms (/x/ occurs with /a/ and /o/, /χ/ with all of the other vowels). Btw the underlyinɡ form of <ch> is actually /ç/ Technically, yes, but I call it /x/ because that's easier to type. so it's contrasting pala...

* absence of phonemic opposition velar/uvular - (Bach vs. back, /baχ/ vs. /bak/) No. It's [baχ], but /bax/. The allophones of that fricative never contrast.

Nintendo mitsubishi hentai Oh my Looks like a SAE conlang to me, probably mostly because of the phonotactics. It doesn't look like a European lang per se, but SAE conlangs don't necessarily need to; zompist's langs don't, and most of them are SAE as hell. OK, let's check (green = true, red = false,...

I have an ongoing change that added a new affricate into me language: a voicing assimilation [ts] > [dz]\ __Cv; where Cv is voiced obstruent.

My German has /t/ /dt/ /d/ from unvoiced to mixed to fully voiced :/ Examples? "Stadt" which I, for some wierd reason, contrast with "statt" EDIT: Also, my <d>s devoice to /dt/ in compounds and /t/ in roots... Bad [bat] but Badeanzug [bad͡tənaut͡suk] Hmm. That's interesting.

• Mixed voicing A mixed-voiced consonant is one where the voicing changes midway through the articulation of that consonant. Voiced-aspirated consonants are attested in Taa, along with voiced-ejective consonants (however, I think both of these are analyzed as clusters), and voiceless-voiced consona...
