Blame the Dutch.

Ek is getatoeëer volgende week, weer. Begin my arm moue hierdie tyd. Sal plaas foto wanneer dit gedoen is.
I'm getting tattooed next week, again. Beginning my arm sleeves this time. Will post a photo when it's done.

(If it even happens that is... I'm so disorganised.)

I've gotten back into some good old Khmer rock. Ros Sereysothea, Pan Ron, &c.

OK, one more guess in the dark (well, dimness) and then I'll shut up: Shona? About fifteen years ago I read a bunch about southern-zone Bantu languages for a conlang idea I had (which never went anywhere) -- which is why I feel like this sample must be one of them. I'm kind of dismayed about the ki...

Nope.

Nope.

Damn, almost had it

Sure thing You'll be Team 2

Hi guys, I've added danilot to Team 1. I'm not sure if you guys'd be in 1 or 2 yet tho. Any idea?

GUYS!!! I've caught onto something. In the example, there is the word: Pa manyighala, lo mapaghana rughu zuizu. Zu pa daki mapa ko ghajia manyighala palei. Tegho, ko tuvila patu, pa suana bazu. Baia telo ba tuvi lova ko tuvi lova data ba alua telo "Hoi" tezu. This made me think: "Okay, maybe it's sp...

What can /ɻ/ evolve to?

Hmmm, I have no idea what it is, everything is set up fine.

I think I've actually fixed it now. Does it work?

I need to be added to the T2 group, bitte! I added you to T2 already :? I can see the Team 1 secret section, but it say there are no boards in that section.

I am unfamiliar with the board's layout, is there a way for me to start a thread for T2's proto or does an admin need to do that? Click the discussions board for Team 2 (Secret) and a 'Create Thread' button should appear above the search bit. Once you make the thread I'll make it a sticky so it's e...
