Not a very obvious joke to a native speaker, though.

I honestly don't follow. Cheese trout? Did I drop my brains?

In Greek I would say: ομελέτα με τυρί literally : Omelette with cheese I did some looking around for some wacky things like τυρομελετα that seemed very unlikely but possible, and came up with nothing. I looked around for things like that because a number of greek food things have compound names: αυγ...

So my JR map is coming along well. Should be done soon hopefully.

maybe the morning... maybe the night...

maybe on the wings of angels...

Going to tidy the last post a little As a fun side note, most of the numbers are based at least loosely on picture on the hand finger counting. 1-3 are clearly abstracted pictograms. 6 is meant to l...

A test of reading comprehension.

Damn, I thought it was a petting zoo...

I got excited too...

I've decided to start a topic on my conlang called Gomah. I have much of it worked out, but I'm still hitting many parts. I hope that it will entertain you. For those involved, I plan on using it over in the kool map game. It will be the language of Jaawi Ruusih, however, I only plan on lending it t...

One would think 4 years in an engineering program and years in industry would make this obvious. NOPE

Well, time to break out another cup of tea to wake up the old noggin because clearly it is in dumdum mode today.

Maybe the orthography could be based on senses other than sight. What of the people who spoke this language wrote using utensils that have a specific smell to them (kind of like smelly markers). Then the paper or other parchment would capture the smell permanently. The orthography could also be tou...

Sorry, I was horribly unclear. how did everyone get to zoom in so tight? Take the map and just blow it up then refine?

http://people.csail.mit.edu/schulz/spherical/index.html Simple, probably don't cover what you want. http://merganser.math.gvsu.edu/easel/ Probably a bit better. looksl ike it runs as an app You could write something really quick in MATLAB if you have that as well.

So, how did yall make those maps with the mountains and rivers and pretty? I am honestly baffled.

[EDIT]: Everyone say a happy birthday to the map thread starter today as well! Happy birthday patiku!

Can't wait to get in on making the History of JR. Plan on assembling it from smaller member nations.

In other good news:

Got me a COROLLA!

So car troubles are over now!

Dude, I think it could use a sphincter or two more. just cause sphincter is a cool sounding word.

Okay, small update on my part for you guys. I know clawgrip wants history behind the Jaawi Ruusih-form islands and yall need JR's map. I hope to do it tonight, but I might not get to it. I'm working on getting a new car. I had signed all the papers and was mostly done with the financing last night u...

Dang, this is shaping up. Clawgrip, that collage map thing is damn pretty. I might make it my work computer wallpaper. I might have to stage some odd power shift in JR. I have a language I'd prefer to Gomah, so some sort of wierd crap might be coming. But I should do the topographic map first. i kee...

Okay, this is good to know. I'll have to adjust myself to using X-SAMPA, but thanks for letting me know!

So, I'm jumping in the middle of this, but I want to be friendly. From what I have read, we have a member who is blind who uses text to speech software, yes? That's pretty incredible. Also, this software handles X-SAMPA better than IPA, so it is worth my time to provide sounds in X-SAMPA as well, co...

Working on a new conlang. How plausible does this sound. Vowels: ______ \i u| \e ə o| \ɛ ɔ| \ a | For speed in romanization i -> i u -> u e -> e o -> o a -> a ɛ -> é ɔ -> ó ə -> y The consonants Phonemes - Romanized - Group /m,n/ - [m,n] - [N]asal /p,t,k/ - [b,d,g] - [P]lain /pʰ,tʰ,kʰ,kʷʰ,kʲʰ,t͡s,t͡...

Islands that spell out my country's name. Why don't we have this in real life? I call the adriatic

As for the pirate haven Islands, JR never had a claim to them. I accidentally blooped it onto the map when making JR, and I forgot to take it off. Clawgrip accepted them as legitmate landmass and the pirates took it.

Maybe a Jaawi Ruusih map later today. Will see.
