Slavic from Vulgar Latin is pretty fun to do, I've applied the actual slavonic sound changes to a vulgar latin substrate and it turns out pretty well, you have to kinda force it in though, like keeping intervocalic g and d. rādō rādis rādit rādimus rāditis rādunt rádo rádes rádet rádemos rádetes rád...

You could make like Russian and transcribe it as a /gari/. Is there a rule against /jari/? Russian does that because early West Slavs realized g as ɦ in most positions, and Germanic loans went through their lands on their way into Russia, so it became tradition to reflect /h/ as /g/ in loanwords. E...

The colloquial wisdom on the phoneme /x/ in Slavic is that it comes from s after r, u, k, or i and word initial sk-. I think the RUKI is pretty much indisputable but I think the other one isn't. For one thing there exist roots like скрък- 'to squeak', скоро 'recently', скорость 'speed' etc. Secondly...

Maybe I'm too Eurocentric, but I have no idea what you're saying EDIT: Though when I think about it, it is an western trait to take naturalistic, semi-chaotic systems and try to give them order: In the later half of the 12th century, the German priest Helmold described in his work Chronica Slavorum,...

People use it in places outside of literal forum threads though. Like certain video games, chat programs, etc.

I've seen internet communities recently using /ajti:ti:/ in place of standard english /hi:əɹ/ to indicate relative proximity. Must be a sociolect thing

I have no idea what that could be a reference too. It must be something extremely obscure, so obscure no high school level understanding of literature would enable one to interpret it. That is ridiculously sexist and now kinda inspired me to a reverse system of matriarchial sexism which I might work...

In Latin kʷ and the cluster kw were distinct. Greek dropped out w's and did various things to kʷ, but either would give a different reflex of quantitas - kantitas or pantitas. T's should probably reflect as s before front vowels too - pansitás or passitás depending on how you interpret the nasal.

Not necessarily an absence, just a mininum amount.

"kyantitás"? Why not "pantitás"?

I don't suggest using these sounds.

Yes I need to work on the conditions for when /v/ and /ð/ become voiceless. Sounds tend to become voiceless after short vowels, high tones, or before stressed vowels. See if any of these apply for your language. About the root vowel shift, something like this maybe? nisdós (nom) > nizdús > niuʰdú >...

/a ɛ i o u ɤ/

^ Bulgarian

Unstressed e and o are collapsing into i and u. Unstressed a into ɐ which many speakers are merging with ɤ. So our unstressed vowel system will probably be /i u ə/ before too long, providing you your hypothetical 3Td

Mildly Irregular paradigms have survived in the nominative for longer, due to the nominative being used quite a bit more than the other cases.
