Re: Travel advice thread-Currently Germany and Japan
I'm going to spend ten days in Japan in the second half of May, so I'll jump in here to hopefully get a few pieces of useful information from those who know the country better than I do. I'll probably stay in Tokyo for a few days, visit Kyoto, and I also want to see one or two more rural places (e.g...

Re: Your preferences in morphology and syntax
What Karero describes is essentially how it works for kinship terms, yes. And the inspiration for this indeed came from Iroquoian (Oneida, to be precise). Here are a few examples from my conlang Hkətl’ohnim: Həhwaq’mə. həhʷ-aq’məʷ 3SG>3:DEICTIC.NP-be_parent_of She is his mother. (can also be used as...

Re: Your preferences in morphology and syntax
I love polysynthetic languages (especially of the not-completely-agglutinative type with elaborate morphophonology and some synchronically unpredictable affix allomorphs), polypersonal agreement, noun incorporation, lexical instrument/manner/location/direction affixes, applicatives and other voice-a...

Re: Ainu grammars
The Grammar Pile has a couple, though they're still a bit dated and none are in the form or with the density of a modern grammar, clocking in in the 100-page range rather than the 400-500+ with a lot of juicy details like a modern-format grammar will give you.

Re: Travel advice thread
Train tickets with a stopover are generally cheaper than buying two halfway tickets individually. (As an example, Cologne - Hannover by ICE without any discount is 72 €, Hannover - Berlin is 68 €, but Cologne - Berlin via Hannover is only 117 € instead of 140.) Train tickets within Germany are only ...

Re: Words you've learned recently
die Waldeinsamkeit "the feeling of being alone in the woods" This is one of those words doing the rounds on those lists of amazing German words that are so uniquely German, but it kind of defeats the purpose if you can just freely create them and no one really uses it.

I have started compiling the original sound changes for the Dumic languages , since I haven't found them posted anywhere on the wiki. Once they are completed, they can be moved to a section in the Proto-Dumic article, or to sections in the articles of the respective languages (that could be spoilin...

Re: How many words does your conlang have?
Most of my Conlangs are a posteriori languages on the Akana wiki, meaning that I didn't independently invent the vocabularies, but rather derived them from the work of others. I was part of the group that developed the (as of yet unrevealed) Proto-Ronquian, however, so I'll focus on my contribution...
