RealiZeD. Also, oops, nice catch. Meant to have that, but I must have missed it.

Hey all. It's been a while, but I mad another phonology that will probably not go anywhere. I had Gaelic and Japanese on my mind when I created it, but i referenced neither during the process.

Strange and ungrammatical for me. Related American prepositional fun: I recently saw an early episode of Buffy, which contained the line: "I don't care from private! I care from dead guys attacking us. I care from you lost weekending in your apartment." Woah.... That sounds like a Portuguese-speaki...

I believe the first one is called a burger-flipper in my hometown (SE Ontario), and calling it a spatula would be weird because it's not used for stirring. Of course, that's a cheap, nasty plastic one that probably burns on the grill if you're not careful. Notice that the head isn't actually restin...

Could you clarify what exactly do you mean by non syllabic vowels followed by the length mark? If there really are such things as long off glides please tell me. All long or stretched diphthongs I've encountered have been lengthened from their syllabic parts. Oh. I meant that the diphthong as a who...

In reference to the phoneme inventory I posted above, I made a preliminary chart for what the homonasal, homotonic vowel pairings are realised as.

A worthwhile question is whether or not a protolang must have a weird phonology.

With an inventory this small and with so few POAs, I wonder though if you should generalize your phonemic representation of the "retroflex" series to a more general coronal series, like denti-alveolar, since the retroflex series isn't in contrast with another coronal series. Well, it may not contra...

This is rather interesting.

An editorial note, however: you keep changing the spelling of Zylogrius' name (at least in the second document - I caught a Zylagrius and a Zylgrius).

Pharyngeals are okay, but epiglottals? No way. No way can I say those. I can do regular, aspirated, glottalised, voiced, and nasalised clicks, but all those combination/uvular clicks in Juu and its relatives are impossible. Vowels are mostly good, but like the OP, I have trouble distinguishing /o/ ...

Not really a phonology, rather a vowel set for a hypothesised English dialect: TRAP [æ] STRUT [ʊ] DRESS [ɛ] KIT [ʏ] LOT [ɔ] CLOTH [ɔ] FOOT [ʉ] BATH [aː] PALM [aː] START [aːr] NURSE [ɛːr] FLEECE [iː] THOUGHT [aː] NORTH [aːr] FORCE [aːr] GOOSE [ʉ̯uː] PRICE [ə̯ɪ] MOUTH [ɔ̯ʊ] SQUARE [er] FACE [eː] GOAT ...

It's acceptable (if biblically archaic) to say "the man eats [i]of[/i] the pizza", and I believe that carries the same distinction.
