My conlang uses narān for both 'word' and 'language'.

German historically just went and spelled all schwa-ized unstressed vowels <e>, except in the southwest, where they kept spelling things with full vowels in the late 13th century either because the sound change that turned unstressed vowels into /ə/ hadn't yet fully taken place, or because of tradit...

This. Currently it only contains translated names of European countries and their capitals (I advertised it here before), but I've begun working on the Americas recently. Still wondering if I should also do the US and Canadian states or provinces, respectively.

Well, Dewrad said that his harsh reaction was from generally being annoyed by pointing out the same things over and over again because noobs all too often bring up the same stupid topics again and again and don't even try to look up whether something has already been discussed recently. The OP's rea...

I suggest that the gentlemen divert their attention to this on-going thread on the same topic of discussion as per Mr Dewrad's notification and refrain from bickering over white-knighting obvious foolishness by overly righteously trying to enforce the forum rules.

I don't think anyone here suggested that this is its prime purpose? It's a 3D modelling program, just generally.

You may want to try Inkscape for a free vector graphics program. Fontforge – although it currently crashes on you – is probably still the best free font editor, however, I have no experience of using Fontforge under Windows (I assume you use that as your OS). Since it's a Linux program, I suppose it...

Thanks Drydic ;) Oh, and "wikircle" of course stands for Wiki pedia a r ti cle (coined by Cev on IRC), but I thought it would be transparent enough. However, I see there's also a section on language variation in that article , which goes into some of the issues of dialects wildly diverging. Anyway, ...

OK, I'm blindly following the wikircle on Vietnamese here: Vowels /i ɨ u/ 〈i y u〉 (I was gonna use 〈ı〉, but that would've become a problem when adding diacritics) /e əː o/ 〈ee əə oo〉 or 〈e̱ ə̱ o̱〉 or 〈ẹ ə̣ ọ〉 (Yeah, for the sake of simplicity, let's pretend these are all long!) /ɛ ə ɔ/ 〈e ə o〉 /a aː...
