Re: categorizing vowels

I think the trilateral emphatization of some further back high vowels should be represented as a different entity to the voiceless dento-uvular rothic diphthongs.

The 'fudge-moron' ligature should also be represented there.

length would be uvular
I think it would vary in sonority depending on the dialect. Especially in the velar diphthongs.

Central vowels would be voiceless.

Re: Linguistic Quackery Thread, take 2

My Spanish teacher this year seems to believe that languages reproduce sexually. She asked the class "what language is the mother of Spanish and French and English?" and I raised my hand and said "Proto-Indo-European?" And she said "No, I'm looking for something shorter; Latin!" and then she said "...

Many smells are good.

*no idea what these would be called, they reverbalize a nominalized verb, maybe it's the 'to be', but 're' is the root for the relative marker too.

Ah? Is the lack of <u> in cuándo a typo?

Cuándo estará el doctor and cuándo está el doctor are both grammatical to me, they just mean something different.
Yeah, typo :P

Maybe it's an american thing. Or I just suck at Spanish.
