Re: Peculiar grammatical features in communication
Anyway, back to the point, even if this Quileute feature turns out to be wrong and unrealistic, do you know any other languages with weird(ish) features like that?

It's either ['dɪp.θʌŋ] or ['dɪf.θʌŋ] for me.

Any audible difference for you guys?

Peculiar grammatical features in communication
According to our Mighty Queen Wikipedia: Quileute features an interesting prefix system that changes depending on the physical characteristics of the person being spoken to. When speaking to a cross-eyed person, [ƛ-] is prefixed to each word. When speaking to a hunchback, the prefix /c̀-/ is used. A...

Re: The "How do You Pronounce X" Thread
I was interested in knowing how other people (whether they are native or non-native speakers of English) treat the final [n] in words like: autumn, solemn, hymn, etc. I (a non-native speaker) have the urge to pronounce it; much like the final in bomb, numb, lamb, etc . I almost never do either anymo...

Re: The "How do You Pronounce X" Thread
How do you handle moving from a postalveolar shibilant to an alveolar sibilant between word boundaries in English. For example, change sum or brush sign . Do you completely release the shibilant or alveolarise it to a sibilant to avoid something like /... dʒ-s .../ or /... ʃ-s .../ from happenin...

Re: The Innovative Usage Thread
Swedes are also kings/queens (what's the gender neutral form of that hey) Monarch? I've also come across "quing", which is a blend of "queen" and "king", but I'm sure it's a joke. Or I hope it is. "It" is inanimate. It's an insult to refer to someone as an inanimate object, you know. True. Neverthe...

Re: Scurdic - third version (diachronic Indo-European)
Really nice!
Seems like you put a lot of work in this.
Do you have an etymological meaning behind the name "Skurðuiškas" by the way?

I just hope there isn't an actual real life story behind it... or at least lets hope the fan wasn't plugged in.

Re: The "How do You Pronounce X" Thread
How do you pronounce twerk ? I've heard many rhotic English speakers (mainly American & Canadian) say [twɔɹk] making it rhyme with York . It sounds a bit "off" to me, since it always made sense to make it rhyme with work [wɜɹk/wɝk]. Maybe the difference isn't big enough for my ears to catch, but I d...

Re: The Lexicon Building Counselling Service
Well not always, I was hearing a song and it said "σε ρωτώ" and sounded exactly like I would say se rotó in Spanish [r] (which would mean: it rotated itself ). It's quite common for singers to overpronounce [ɾ] to make it [r] just for emphasis. Don't trust songs, they lie! Hear the language spoken,...

Re: The Lexicon Building Counselling Service
Yes tell me about it; I hear that from my Queen. And it's not only the vowels; the lenition of -b- -d- and -g- also coincides (even word-initially for some dialects like Cuban, not for ours though). I guess the same thing goes for Spanish <e>'s, I may represent it as /e/ but IDK if it's [E] or [e]....

Re: The Lexicon Building Counselling Service
Wasn't Greek /a e i o u/ like Spanish? Technically it's /a e̞ i o̞ u/ but I (personally) can hear almost no difference between [e̞] and [ɛ], which makes me guess Greek [e̞] is closer to [ɛ] since I can quite easily hear the difference between [e̞] and [e].

Re: Phonological features* you dislike...
The practice of using "an" with words beginning with H's that the speaker doesn't drop, e.g, /{n hIstorIk ivEnt/, rather than /@ hIstorIk ivEnt/ or /{n IstorIk ivEnt/. Now that depends on the "H" word; an historic sounds fine to me, but an history doesn't. I think it's one of those cases of English...
