Humans at K7r please?

Assuming HAPPINESS IS MARCHING:

Ē háseti séron ī.
3PS.MSC.NOM.SNG have-RLS march-ACC.SNG 3PS.FMN.INS.SNG
"He's happy for her", lit. "He has a march for her"

Next: being afraid of reptiles

The main purpose is for writing grammars. When you are in the syntax section, who wants to constantly go back to the morphology section every time you use an example?

You make the G2LF file. Most of the stuff on the page is how to make one.

The G2LF file is the language.

Here's some example words (diaeresis = glottal stop, er = syllabic tap): uku su kiërër terër ter aperä ermer ninaër piërü paru er erü ukiër uï ertu nurerra terka suru ka erna a nerï pu merüa uä ura per uër iäu sukater iti miser kaër mer erër siärer kupuü nu rerüu erä merkiër raki muërër kauër aër ip...

There are now instructions.

Gotcha; I figured I should do a better job.

I just made a script that translates interlinear glosses into specific languages, via G2LF files: http://personak.weebly.com/gloss2lang.html For example, type man.GEN.PLR in the text box with a latin.g2lf file, and it comes up with hominum . The sample G2LF file should tell you how to create G2LF fi...

So this was done a while ago here, and I think it'd be cool to do it again. I've also started this challenge over at the CBB. The idea is to create a language using a minimal set of phonemes. They are: /p t k s m n ɾ ʔ a i u/ Something workable is the goal...a speedlang sketch or the like. Go wild!...

The Emnonians don't mummify their dead, so, they just call them:

sus laramut - corpse - lit. son of the Watcher, e.g. Laramus Totus Lufus, Watching Death King.

Alternately sus totut, son of death, though that isn't as nice to say.

How are you in developing the languages?

Lexique Pro is great.

You know what should be done? A dictionary of phonemes, and how they can originate and disappear. Though people would still have questions about a specific sound-change, there would no longer be anything about "i have inventory blank, how do I get /phoneme/."

What do y'all think?

I'm working on Proto-Xhuaiet, the ancestor of the languages of the Xhuaiet rainforest.

May I join too? If I can, I'd like the dark green land south of moko and tresko. What is dark green?

I love it! I should do that someday.

Just curious, how did you make the lovely vowel and consonant charts in the original post?

I like Astarios' idea.

I'm in favor of the committees.

What do you mean?

3 proto-langs; base cultures; races... whatever you want to call it.

Do we have a map for this thing?

Thanks. Can we get vocab?

Let's do 3 groups.

I'm willing, though I'll be focusing more on another collaborative project.

How many proto-languages/cultures should there be?
