They are rodents - their hearing could be better than humans.

I just found a translation of a language textbook I made into an ols project language of mine. I think it was some sort of Occitan-type romlang, but was surprised how much work I´d put in it. So though I'd share and ask if anyone else has or had a similar project. A link to Projeite 1 is attached if...

Rice farming? Cassava? Maize? Would sapients resist unfamiliar crops? An example here in Galicia - th...

I'm attempting to get my head around the possibilities for a world, maximalising development according to Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel, maybe using the excellent Jaredia as a base, and I wondered what would the agricultural package look like on an ecologically united world? Particularly the tropi...

Thanks so much

Could anyone point me to a resource listing the syllable structures of natural languages? You can usually find what your looking for, if you do a little digging, but after searching unsuccessfully for the syllable structure of proto-Dravidian, I wondered if people had been so drustrated before. Alte...

But I think I can make out a few 'sh' - maybe Albanian?
