Re: The Quququqquq language / Quququqquq Qaqqaäa
Sorry, but I fail to see how the language has to be everywhere-versal. Please do explain. It's a play on words - the English word 'quaquaversal' happens to begin like a Quququqquq word. Only one vocalic allophone? There are a lot more: a /ɔ~æ~a~ø/ and u /o~u~y/. Which are? I've not really decided o...

The Quququqquq language / Quququqquq Qaqqaäa
Introduction Quququqquq is a conlang that I started sketching when I was fourteen. It's inspired by Finnish and Piraha. Quququqquq is an extinct Kunipan language, with no native speakers, though people all over Fronties learn it for its unique mathematical properties (I'm not sure exactly what thos...

Re: Proto-Irenesian
It's not a maximum -- because diphthongs are allowed. As an example, my favorite word in Quququqquq is a Latin loan, aqua 'water' (though it's pronounced /ɔ.gu.ɔ/). (By the way, its Proto-Irenesian root is laine ~ halaine , which is cognate to: khrïn /xri:n/ in Auzinim, khilin /xilin/ in Hwiwjaosdia...

Re: Post your conlang's phonology
Here's my Quququqquq: /q/ (one consonant phoneme) /a u/ (two vowel phonemes) /q/ has at least five allophones: [t d k g ?]: [?] word-finally, [t, d] before /a/, [k, g] before /u/, [t, k] at the beginning of a word or when geminated, [d, g] otherwise There are six tones in Quququqquq: 1) neutral (e.g...

Re: Proto-Irenesian
Quququqquq phonology is a lot more complicated than that. Piraha would probably be a better comparison than Polynesian languages. For one thing, there's tone, and it can change the color of the vowel: 1) neutral (e.g. a /ɔ/) 2) high and long (e.g. ä /æ˥:/) 3) falling (e.g. äa /a˥˧:/) 4) rising (e.g....

Re: Proto-Irenesian
There are six branches of Irenesian: 1) Sylvan 2) West Sathcevan 3) East Sathcevan 4) Hirbic 5) Irenic 6) Antipodean (spoken in the northern hemisphere) These are, of course, distinguished by sound changes from Proto-Irenesian. Proto-Irenic, for example, is derived from Proto-Irenesian by a set of s...
