London, of course, is even worse. I once worked in Marylebone, which famously there ISN'T a correct pronunciation of. Instead, people embarrassedly settle into one of m{r@l@b@n, "m{ril@boUn, or (my own version) "mal@b@n, and react with appropriate snobbery and/or embarrassment when confronted with ...

Listened to a song in Faroese, liked the sound of it but disliked the < í > = /ʊi/ and random instances of <ú> = /ʉu/ and <ógv> = [ɛɡv] instead of [ɔuɡv] as it should be if one used actual logic. Still, I think Faroese without these kinks which I mildly dislike wouldn't be Faroese then I wouldn't l...

They work in concert to indicate metallic voicing.

You are boring, Victor. Batshit = awesome. That's the reason my hatred for Esperanto has quietly subsided. As far as Finlay's years-old comments on Gaelic go, it stande to reason that Scottish is worse in that regard than Irish. Consider these: oíche - oidhche (night) [iːhə] - [ɤ̃ɪ̃çə] donn - donn ...

I've begun a series of shipping containers in MS Paint. I will eventually put them on a freighter I will draw. Containers.PNG You're missing a Zim container. Is this the most important Israel one?

Thank you, one and all. Also, sorry for being rude, Gamma.

I quite like Sangi's consonants, along with the latter two's treatment of my vowels, so that results in:

<m n ng>
<p t c k>
<b d j g>
<f s sh>
<v z zh>
<r l y w>
<a e i o u r>

I've never, ever, ever, stressed any variant of protest on the first syllable. Then again, I'm not a native speaker, I'm constantly exposed to weird accents and the rule I most commonly ignore in a language is that concerning stress. One of the biggest barriers to communication in my experience is ...

r → ð* → ʒ

AFAIK, Faroese is already on it's way to this, by a different route:

Old Norse r → ɻ → Faroese ʐ → *ʒ(?)

The lat-pal fricative is a fun one.

Never do this.

Always keep an unmerged native copy (psd/xcf/whatever) in case you need to make changes later (like in this case)

Other than that, the paper looks good.

An inventory I came up with solely for the inclusion of a voiceless palatal lateral fricative: /p t c k/ <p t kj k> /f s ɕ~ç/ <f s sj> /ʦ ʨ/ <ts tsj> /ɹ j w/ <r j w> /l ʎ/ <l lj> /ɬ ʎ̝̊*/ <ll llj> /m n/ <m n> /i u e o a/ <i u e o a> /ai̯ː ua̯ː ei̯ː oa̯ː aː/ <ii uu ee oo aa> *Ideally, I'd write this ...

"American Sign Language is the only sign language" It seems it. Whenever I search for sign language I get ASL most of the time. Even when searching for British, Spanish or Catalan sign language somewhere they'll mention ASL. Get off the Internet ASL, or at least stop hogging so much of it, lol. Nic...

I did find some hits for "methuselaic". Cf. Elijah > Elijaic , Moses (Heb. Moše ) > Mosaic . The problem with this one is that Mosaic , at least, is something akin to a genitive - the word is most often used in the context of the Hebrew laws: The Mosaic Laws , i.e. "The Laws of Moses". That's reall...
