Almost. Certainly Cockney influenced. South East England has adopted a lot of Cockney-type features. I have bits of Cockney and RP (i.e. Estuary).

recognise [ˈʋ͡ɹɛ.kəg.nɐɪ̯z] (no eliding)

round [ɹ͡ʋæʊ̯nd]
Often monopthongizes to [ɹ͡ʋæːnd]

It's been a while, but I think I'll just take Vr9 and W8. Sal hasn't said one way or the other.

If anyone wants to take on Guop or Dragolm religion, they're welcome too. I'm a bit busy at the moment.

I have had a few basic ideas, so can share those with anyone that wants to use them. Otherwise, you can make something up from scratch.

I've come 'bout the 'breviations.

I'm with Zaarin, I've heard it, and it wouldn't sound weird, but I've never really used it myself. Sounds a bit rural to me.

This is new to me, but I don't know if it's new to you. I just heard "who'sever here" instead of "whoever's here".

Edit: probably a shortening of whosoever's, shortened to whosever and without the 's.

Esto me hace mas feliz que probablemente debe This makes me more happy than it probably should (Can I leave modal verbs dangling like that in Spanish?) Creo que se puede así, aunque "debe" suena un poco raro aquí. Y quizá no hace falta decir "probablemente". I think you can do it like that, though ...

¡Hoy he ido a una calço-ta-da con mis compañeros de aikido! Calçots, cervecita, carne, compañía. Buena pinta, buena comida. En fin, buena todo.

Here's a map of the area around the year 4000. It shows the two major cities, Kir and Qah (by 4000 Kir had collapsed). It also shows the regions. i like rivers.png Northern Armdoms is the area where amphibimorphs abandoned and where only "barbaric" munkees exist. Federation of Cities isn't quite a f...

Gaak: Qah Duotheism Square: Q1 In the beginning there was only water: formless and without life. Then from beneath the water, came a quake and a mound of earth appeared. And from it grew a tree, a massive tree, covering the heavens with its branches. On all parts life existed, in harmony with its h...

It's traditionally a suffix. But I think "-wise" can behave like a clitic in informal speech. The same as "-ish".

I struggle to come up with any examples. I'll give it some thought.

For Guop
B-5 and Br-5

For Dragolm:
X10, Xr10
I also have my eyes on Vr9 and W8, but I shall enter into negotiations with Sal about those.

Since Gaak missed out on this round, I'll do something for it instead. Perhaps I'll be able to do something for Dragolm and Guok, and I do have my ideas, but I'm staring a new course this week, so don't know how much time I'll have.

At last I'm back on. I've been blocked out for a while.

Our favourite entries, judged by personal preferences? This round, naming languages, supplemented by history.

The Gaak culture hasn't been quiet; it's just not being entered into the language round. I would've liked to do more, but didn't have time: Gaak History The trade towns flourished and became cities, and they were supported by a well-defined agricultural area. The first states formed. In general they...

Thank you very much.

There's nothing like a calçotada. Mmm, barbecued spring onions dipped in romesco sauce, accompanied by a glass of good red wine.

M'agrada la calçotada!
I like the calçotada!

There you go. Now I notice the rest of the continent is peopled, to use the term loosely, by a couple of empires on the make. I look forward to being completely annihilated by them. Yours might be left alone, since yours have a mission. You don't build cities, but you do build walls (such pretty wa...
