Correction: Gejaehl Hlu kiso [kis̺o] ⟶ ki``so` /ki.ʕ̞ʕ̞.suʕ̞/ [ke.hɑ.soʔh] I'm guessing that's Proto- rəgyam kihasou [kɪhɐsō]... Proto- rəgyam tusinae [tʊsɪnǣ] ⟶ Classical Latin TVSINA /ˈtʊ.sɪ.nä/ Proto- rəgyam ikiuwasae [ɪkɨwɐsǣ] ⟶ Classical Latin ICEVASA /ɪˈkeu̯.ä.sä/ Proto- rəgyam [ kihasou [kɪhɐ...

Ideas:
Glottalisation/pharyngealisation of plosives followed by rhinoglottophilia.
C > /h/ > /h̃/
/h/ + vowel > /h/ + nasal vowel, followed by the transfer of nasalisation to the next consonant

A human bidental percussive is only audible for me when I am very close to the person. Not really usable beyond something in pragmatics. I think the bidental fricative is usable.

Costa Rica might elect a fascist tomorrow.

I wouldn't even be too sure about living organisms. Also, although it's never happened I think a conlang could hypothetically have become the main language of a people. I also think that "human languages" and universals pre-date the human-Neanderthal split.

You could have g > ɣ in all syllables instead.

Then they might be considered allophonic sets rather than two phonemic sets.

Most of what I do on this thread is complain about methodology and lack of evidence, so maybe I should just do as Vijay

Since almost no one participated, I'll be calling this Round 1: Name a poet who is not William Shakespeare who died before the Glorious Revolution Name a penguin species that does not live in Antarctica (sub-Antarctic islands are okay) How many people participated in a protest in your local area so ...

Anyone going to take a shot at the one above, or will we need a new orthography to revive the thread.

Proto-rəgyam dutisáei nae [dʊtɪsǽi nǣ] → agefaqeg dùtìsei nè /dʊ.tɪˈseɪ̯ ˈnɛ/

No. Spanish, Basque and Portuguese refer to the ethnic groups speaking Pamplonese (it's a conlang from the Native American survival thread).

Forgot to signify that all /t d s/ is laminal denti-alveolar

New words: Pamplonese dulteçayna /dul.teˈzaj.nä/ Basque [dul.teˈzä.i.nä], Portuguese and Spanish [dul.teˈzai̯.nä] Pamplonese igleya /iˈɡle.jä/ Northern Basque [iˈɡle.xä], Portuguese [iˈɡle.ʒä], Southern Basque [iˈɣle.xä], Spanish [iˈɣle.ʒä] Pamplonese queyxo /ˈkej.ʃo/ Basque [ˈke.i.ʃo], Portuguese a...

Cat's mouths are smaller, so they might be used to not that much sound distinction within a region of the mouth. Also, their lips seem to be less exaggerated than humans and therefore might be less useful for making sounds. Most sounds I have heard from cats seem to come from alveolar to palatal are...

@Frislander: is the Iroquian language part of Conspiration des poudres?

I've never done such a language to the scale of more than a few sound changes and then forgetting about it. alice wrote that there are two methods: the historical method, in which one applies the target languages historical sound changes on the source language; and the adaptive method, in which one ...

I've worked with people like Cameron before. They are the worst. I know that I can be like that with my own conworld, but there's a reason for why it is not a collab project.

What about Semitic and Berber?

Metathesis is usually a sporadic change.

Is there actually good evidence for Niger-Congo?

East and South Africa was probably like that before the Bantu Expansion, with Sandawe and Hadza being notable examples.
