I suppose it could be considered a horror.

I've generally heard it /ɛsˈbɑɹoː/ from most Americans, but I suppose my pronunciation would be similar linguoboy's if I were called upon to pronounce it.

I saw Sal's Øynduyska bestiary in the C&C quickies a while back and was inspired to add some vocab for animals myself, though mine will be far less comprehensive. aves "sheep (in general)" avedz "flock (of sheep)" avestr "sheepfold" ehos "horse (in general)" éls "eel" elpądus "camel" fesks "fish" fu...

Does that also mean more Latin influence after the 1500's? Thanks! Yes, there will be other influences as well. I’ve just been focusing...

I recently worked out the names for the months and weekdays. They’re given in Old Gothic below.

By the by, what does this sound like so far? I’d kind of been going for “Slavic-influenced Germanic language”, but I don’t know if that’s what it actually sounds like. From what I've read so far, it feels heavily Slavic in character to me. I'm not quite picking up on Germanic (yet) but the corpus h...

Verb Morphology Again, there's been some leveling and simplification. The subjunctive endings have merged into one set. There are two conjugation classes. The first class has the infinitive marked with -n the second class has the infinitive marked with -in. The first class is by far the most common...

Nominal Morphology Modern Gotski joins the Balkan Sprachbund by the merging of the dative with the genitive. It has also lost the vocative and instrumental. There has also been significant leveling and regularization although the four basic declensions still remain intact. First Declension Masculin...
