Are they even attested in any natlangs?

Weird, I'd think voiceless implosives were more common than voiced implosives. /t_</ is much easier for me to say than /d_</. Plus /g_</ sounds like I'm dying.

Excellent...I'm one of only two to use voiced aspirates. And again for clicks. Most excellent...

Zomp should make a textbook and publish it.

I'll go back to my PIE>Sanskrit request.

Actually scratch the PIE>Sanskrit request. Instead, I need Vulgar Latin>Neapolitan.

I like Wede:i for similar reasons. Of all of the Almean languages, it's probably the one I'd consider learning first.

Does anyone know of the PIE>Sanskrit sound changes?

I'm still looking for Gaulish information.

Well, sitting in the back of class, my mind had drifted off to Welsh, and when my teacher asked me how to pronounce "derecha", I mistakenly said /dereXa/. I have also been known to answer "hai" inste...

You would address your parents with chi. One parent would probably be ti. I address my dad in Spanish with t?, so I would assume it would be that way for Welsh as well.

I've been putting this off for a while. It's a little late, but:

On a tangent, I see a bunch of comments on Gaulish. Does anyone have enough information to teach me Gaulish or Lepontic? Yes, I probably do. No, I'm not going to teach you. I don't have the patience nor the inclination. I can send you some grammatical information and you can teach yourself, however...

I'm very interested in learning either or at the very least learning more than can be seen in the Wikipedia entry on it (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaulish|en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepont...
