I want to post in the thread, and yet I do not at the same time. I wonder if I should look in the previous pages to see if someone has said this already, and yet I do not seem to care. Not that I'm apathetic either.

OK, I now have a lot of interesting suggestions for letters, which I will consider. Just for now, can somebody help me come up with the letter scripts? I don't want the letters to look at all related to Latin script. Maybe they could be similar to the Star Wars Aurebesh symbols. However, they must ...

Sorry for grave digging (and not having shared any thoughts when this was posted.) Unfortunately I don't have reading knowledge in Persian and Arabic yet, but I am working on both as I am interested in the interaction of Islamic philosophy and spirituality. Out of curiosity, how did this project tur...

When I lived in Rennes (in Brittany), I remember many of the official street signs in the city were printed in both French and Breton. I seem to recall one of my professors explaining that this was a relatively new policy that never would have happened in decades prior, reflecting a new shift toward...

So what, you say [bæx] for "back"? Anyway, now I definitely want a recording. Do a recording of yourself saying the "Please Call Stella" text or something. It's very muddy. I have only my own self-analyzation to go on. What halpens is that my tongue touches my velum, and then I release an aspirated...

A lot of university professors I have encountered in the States tend to shift "t" [ɾ] back to [tʰ] as a part of the linguistic-cultural atmosphere. This has become a habit for me when speaking in classes, and early on if I was not careful I might have pronounced a "d" as a [tʰ]. There would perhaps ...

How is Найден Стоянов stressed?

Thanks very much!

Thanks! When you do, don't forget to teach me how to properly pronounce my own name. (Найден Стоянов)

Could anyone could give me translations (in cyrillic) of the following into Bulgarian with phonemic transcriptions (with stress marked please)? "Student I.D." (for a high school student), as opposed to the booklet for university students mentioned earlier, what term might be used to describe what I'...

Yeah, probably. My bad I just transliterated it in a hurray from the Romanized version I'd found online.

Bulgarian surnames generally end in -ov(a)/ev(a) or -ski/ska, also -in/ina, which is rare; and -ich, which besider being rare will probably make people think you're Serbian. But Soyetski doesn't sound like something that could pass for a Bulgarian surname. I suppose Mikhail could do, but there's mo...

I have recently decided at school, because there are a number of people to whom I neither wish to talk nor listen, that I am going to be speaking the majority of the time with an Slavic-ish Eastern European accent, pretending to be a foreign exchange student. I have actually been doing this for a wh...

http://rcswww.urz.tu-dresden.de/~obastian/ialpol99/otter.jpg We were learning some -er verbs in French once and when the Madame got to ?tter , remove , she couldn't think of any English cognates or easy ways to remember it. Then some silly kid in my class said "remove the otter". I've remembered it...

I notice them in English all the time. Usually when I am in the shower early in the morning, believe it or not... Because, well, I don't do a lot of talking in there. But I do think. There is no contraction that includes the negation in "I am not". You could say "I'm not". You can't say "I amn't", t...
