Re: Post your conlang's phonology
I managed to make something a little like Khmer with some Burmese (and Thai/Lao) thrown in that I'm really happy with. I don't have the energy to write out the entire phonology here right now, but here's an awkwords file that will give you an idea if you're interested: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17526...

Thsäv (updated OP)
some of you may remember Thsjēzb. as the name might suggest, Thsäv is a descendant. grammatically, it's pretty similar to Thsjēzb, but it has lots of consonant elision, diphthongs, vowel mutation, and semi-irregular inflections. i posted this on another board already and got some feedback, and i'd l...
