Re: Baranxe'i Script
I have nothing to say except that it has some StarTrek-StarWars-ish writing flavour, which isn't something bad, and that it would be nice to see an uncial-style version of it. I agree it would be nice, but alas I think I'd need a collaborator with, like, actual calligraphy skills for that :P the be...

Re: Baranxe'i Script
And as promised, here's a (somewhat) coherent text. This is actually what set off this bout of creativity anyways; writing letters that from an inverse POV prove hints about non-Aketamsei sub/adstrata in Baranxe'i. http://i40.tinypic.com/2lj52mp.png This is a version translated into Modern (semi-)St...

Baranxe'i Script
After a short hiatus, I return bearing gifts. Or at least, I finally sat down and instead of thinking about it just made a script for Baranxe'i and turned it into a font. It's the first time I've actually finished such a project and while there's certainly optimisation to be done wrt ... [font termi...

Re: Odd natlang features thread
I'm quoting this next one because I don't get it at all: Dani (Bromley 1981) exhibits a fascinating cline in this area. There are six independent pronouns, distinguishing three persons and two numbers. But the subject suffixes in hortative imperative mood neutralize the number contrast in third per...

Re: Linguistic Quackery Thread, take 2
Forgive me if I am missing some irony in your statement, but does that article not say it is deliberately reversing the way pronouns work in Arabic and Chinese for a thought experiment?

Re: The 2011 ZBB Awards: Discussion and Nominations
Thanks for the praise, but it can't be 'cause it's 8 years old already (although I'm continually working on it). ZBB Awards typically only take into consideration stuff ZBBers have come up with over the course of the current year. Which is why I linked to stuff I made this year, using my conlang, b...
