Re: The "How do You Pronounce X" Thread

Do you distinguish between "vial" and "vile"? Yes, I think so. I pronounce vial more or less as /ˈvajəl/, and vile as /vai̯l/.

Re: Music styles, etc

Re: Longest Word In Your Conlang

The longest word in Wolska is morzecheździedziadzysz [ˌmɔʐɛˌxɛʑd͡ʑeˈd͡ʑad͡zɨʂ] "would that thou wert a pirate," or in a gloss, sea-raid.2SG-PST.SUBJ. It has 22 letters (or 16, not counting digraphs), 14 phonemes and 6 syllables. Its Proto-Germanic ancestor would be *marihuzdidēdīz.
