Re: A Podcast about Conlangs
As Ollock knows, I have been trying to come up with an intro and outro for the show. If anyone has any ideas on genre, that would be really helpful. Also, I am just using pre-recorded garage band things and tweaking them a little, so it will probably sound familiar to those of you who use it frequen...

Re: Spanish final vowel lengthening
My second Spanish teacher was from Andalucía and she explained her accent. And yes, she said she lengthened vowels after she deleted an /s/ that was not the first sound of a word. <los sábados> - [loː ˈsa.ba.oː] instead of [los ˈsa.ba.os].
