I'm gonna leave my three cultures to others. I'm not sure if I should do a new culture or do a subculture. So many options!

Thanks, makes sense. I've got a partial jam-jam split, the TRAP vowel usually lengthens before voiced consonants.

house houses owl owls bright bride boy boys goat goad bay bays beer beers cure cures I'm asking because I think there's a lengthening of the dipthong when its followed by a voiced vowels in my speech. One exception: arrow arrows Possible because its not in a stressed position. And I'm not sure about...

A schwa here in careful speech [ˈdɪ.fɪ̈.kʰəɫtʰ]. L-vocalisation very common: [ˈdɪ.fɪ̈.kʰɵʊ̯ʔ].

I like all three ideas, but I especially like the third one.

Oui, j'ai deux katana. Un est pour decoration et l'autre etait laissé ici par le professeur de judo de ma petite amie quand c'etait petite. Yes, I have two. One is for decoration and the other was left here by my girlfriend's judo teacher when she was younger. J'ai commencer de practiquer avec le b...

Ayer j'etait travaillant avec le bokken. Si c'etait un katana, j'aurais perdue touts mes éxtremité. Yesterday I was working with the bokken. If it were a katana, I would have lost all my limbs. Hvorfor? Øvde du ikke nok med katanaen/bokkenen? Pass på! Det finnes sjansen at du skal virkelig skade de...

emersion
immersion

[I."m3:.Z@n] the two of them.

I've only just learnt there was a difference between the two. The former I never actually use, but "emergence" instead.

I don't. Is it Middle English or something? What does it even mean/is its gramatical function?

My instinct tells me /ni:/, second (outside) option: /nej/. Me: [nɪi̯ ~ nɛɪ̯ ]

Edit: actually, my first instinct was a Monty Python style "Ni!"

You might call that a strongly labialised /r/

Ayer fui hacer kayaking con un grupo de amigos. Fue genial, pero me duelen los brazos. También mis piernas se han quemado con el sol. Yesterday I went kayaking with a group of friends. It was great, but my arms hurt. Also, my legs got burnt from the sun. Volveré hacerlo otra vez! I'll go back and d...

I sometimes get them mixed up, probably through influence of the cliticised form. "Where is it gone?" instead of "where has it gone?" for example. But not normally to people, only when I'm mumbling to myself, which I often do when I lose something.

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this already, but I recently picked up The Sea Watch by Adrian Tchaikovsky (book six of the Shadows of the Apt series). There are different races of human, each based on a invertebrate species. There is some magic, though I'm not quite sure of its nature, apart fro...

I've been very busy with other stuff at the moment. Just enough time to contribute something - missed the last two votes. It's spring, and everything's growing all at once (literally and figuratively).

I'm okay for a break. Maybe I'll collate something for the Wiki.We shall see with time.

Interesting perspective. If we imagine Vampireshark being more 2D than he actually is then he has one very big hand holding on to the fish!

But if their well-established unsual constructions, then there's nothing very innovative about them, is there? Unless they're something that's become very recently fashionable, I suppose. Most of what I hear and share hear are production errors of Spanish speakers. Innovative, because they're unusua...

So would they try to eat the Khsinesir or see them as kin? The Shadow Monsters feed off of sapience or magic (or magical sapience/sapient magic - they aren't sapient themselves), so they'd consume the Khsinesir. Even the Dragolm Slavers would be subject to this (just). They don't think in terms of ...

Inspired by this description: Orcs have one magical ability: with training, they can slip into a parallel world. It's described as cold, dark, and inhabited by fearsome spiritual monsters. It's mostly accessed for spiritual training, though it can be useful for hidden travel and espionage (of other ...

I've been busy lately, couldn't even contribute to the voting. This gives me a few ideas if I have the time: Guop might have influence from Mecongai philosophies, possibly by way of Tsargoki mythical heroes. Gaak will adopt ideas from Họzọngluism and/or Taladdãnism. And Dragolm has a variety to choo...

How do people pronounce "wolf" and "wolves"? I have just noticed that the vowel in the later is becoming more open and more tense. [wʊɫf] ~ [wɫ̩f] [wɔˑɫvz] Well, thanks to this I've notices that "wolves" is longer. [wɞɫf] [wɞːɫvz] The second might actually dipthongize slightly. And in l-vocalised f...

[kʰəʉt] for me.

Also, news on recognise, I could myself geminating the n last night: [ˈʋɹɛ.kənːɐɪ̯z]. I don't know if that's normal, or if that only happened cos I was too tired to speak properly.
