How do you pronounce “canyon” and “Enya”?

I forgot to put up the phonotactics. (C1)(C2)(C3)V(C4)(C5)(C6) Onset C1: Can only be one of /m, n, s/. If C1 occurs, C2 and C3 must occur as well. C2: Can be any consonant if there is no C1, otherwise if C1 is /m/, C2 must be /b/; if C1 is /n/, C2 must be /d/; if C1 is /s/, C2 must be /t/. C3: Can b...

That doesn't sound like an imperative towards the 3rd person to me though. Perhaps this is me being a non-native speaker unearthing itself here but i would interpret that sentence to mean "stop whatever you are doing that is preventing him/her/it/them from eating [something]" which is an imperative...

Don't know why but I like this little tidbit a lot. Is there a historical justification for this? Proto-Rumunil had a ten vowel system /i iː u uː e eː o oː a aː/, but there was a process that short vowels would rise when in unstressed syllables (like-ish in European Portuguese), /i u e o a/ > [i u ...

Just a quick question: What is the difference between a non-past pluperfect, a past pluperfect and a past perfect? Isn't a pluperfect a combination of the past tense and perfect aspect? Well, I just realized my mistake. The non-past and past perfect in that image were supposed to be perfective, whi...

Looks nice so far. :) Thanks ! Morphophonology There was in Proto-Rumunil a R-Dissimilation process where a /r/ would become a /l/ if somewhere before it in the word there was another /r/. There were some situations where this wouldn't happen, if either /r/ were syllabic (!) , if before the second ...

Looks much nicer and more realistic. And also a lot less kichen-sinky. With only your current rules you would probably end up with some unweildy syllables that you would find it hard to pronounce. There is nothing inherently wrong with that, but it might be a good idea to have a few more rules so y...

ˀ is glottalization, it's usually only used for sonorants (e.g. Kalispel's ejective /p' t' ts' tl' tʃ' kʷ' q' qʷ'/ and parallel /ˀm ˀn ˀl ˀj ˀw ˀʕ ˀʕʷ/). I use it for close transcription of my final fortis stops, since they vary from preglottalized to unreleased to ejective based on context. Here, ...

Looks nice, but there are a couple of things that I noticed: 1. Your consonant inventory is VERY regular, which leads to some weird things. A thrill invetoy of /ʙ̥ mʙ r̥ nr ʀ̥ ŋʀ/ /ʙ̥ˀ mʙˀ r̥ˀ nrˀ ʀ̥ˀ ŋʀˀ/ /ʙ̥ʰ mʙʰ r̥ʰ nrʰ ʀ̥ʰ ŋʀʰ/ is very unrealistic. Additionally, there is nothing wrong with havi...
