Re: Romanization challenge thread
That already happened here. You will, I think, find that if you behave uncivilly on the Internet people will tend to return the favor, so. Being new doesn't really excuse from the standard of not being petulant and annoying.

Re: Word order to SOV
Li and Thompson's claim that Mandarin is shifting to SOV has been mentioned; this has been contested, and is not really that great an example because the unmarked clause structure with simple verbs is still SVO. A much more interesting phenomenon, however, is that if you look at the WALS map for wor...

That... doesn't really have anything to do with weird Qiangojaphug, it's just being silly.

Re: The weird natlang phoneme thread
there's no way to tell the difference between units and clusters from a language-internal basis, so if you make that decision, it has to be done based on cross-linguistic sanity wat There are plenty of languages where there are e.g. strong distributional arguments for whether a given segment is a c...

Re: Romanization challenge thread
Because all the texts were IPA-ified from a strange romanization. I haven't the faintest idea why they include H but not j -- maybe all instances of Vi are diphthongs, and ʍahajɤ is something like ʍa.hai.ɤ, which is why they did not analyze it into the phoneme table. Just romanize it as /i/.

Re: Phonological Gain
If this is the right thread for this - am I correct in thinking that early French would have entirely lost /k/ to palatalization if not for the introduction of Frankish loanwords? (And for the shift from /kʷ/ to /k/, but I don't know when that took place.) [k] before front vowels, yes. And /a/, for...

Yes, this happens a lot. Also assibilation is basically the favorite sound change for anything palatal so I advise you not to listen to sirdanilot.
