I thought I would try to get some soundbites for the Conlangery podcast. If people would translate this text:

Welcome to Conlangery, the podcast about constructed languages and the people who create them.

and give me either a recording or a phonetic transcription, I might tag it on to the front of the show. Cultural translation of podcast to something more technologically appropriate is acceptable, and you may either borrow the name phonetically or come up with your own creative translation/calque.

EDIT: OK, new plan. I cannot read phonetic transcriptions fluently past a couple words, so, you can translate the whole thing, but I will only record "Welcome to Conlangery". If you would like to have the whole thing, please record it and send to conlangery@gmail.com

Theres alot more accent, but those are the weirdest ones

For those, the part up to the comma is the "Welcome to Conlangery" part, if you want to shorten it.

Sentalian:

Conlangery-BEN, invent-language-DEF.DAT and 3.ACC invent REL person-DEF.DAT about audio-show-DEF.BEN, welcome IMP

Sentalian's orthography is phonemic apart from <yy> → [ɛi]. As you should be able to see, the other letters that are different from the IPA include y = [ə], à = [ɒ], è = [ɛ], ò = [ɔ], c = [ɕ]. Doubled letters are long. If you do decide to use it, I wouldn't be too fussy about your intonation, although technically I would wish to stipulate a slight rising tone at the end of the sentence; fairly flat overall. Might make a recording tomorrow.

Here are some less (ok, the "posh standard" is actually more) phonemic alternative accents:
posh standard: [ˌkɒnlaŋəˈlil, əpˌnɨːkɛːˈsuːz nɛ nu əpˈnɨː mo xɔŋa.ˈiz xuːm zu.əɕbɒ.iˈleːl, mɒːn ˈti.ə]

Rempocian: [kʰanlaːnɨɫiɫ, ɨpnɛi̯kʰɛːsuːɾ ne nu ɨpnɛi̯ mə xonaːiɾ xuːm ɾuɨsbaiɫeːɫ, mɔːn tʰiɨ]
Vidoan: [kʰɔnlɛŋalɨl, apnəːkʰɛːsúː ne nɨ apnəː mu xuŋáí xuːm zɨaʃpɔileːl, mɑːn tʰɨa]
Facurian: [kanlaŋlɪl, pnɛikesuɾ nɛ nʊ pnɛi mə hɔŋaɪɾ hum ɾuʃbaɪlel, mɔn ti]
Mybutan: [kɑnlaŋlɪl, pnaikeːsyːz nɛ nʏ pnai mɔ xɔŋaiz xyːm zyːʃbaileːl, mɑːn tiː]
Dotolian: [kɑnlaŋəlil, əpneːkeəsuː ne nu əpneː mo hoŋaːi huəm zuəʃbɑileəl, mɑən tiə]

it would shorten to 'Kànlaŋylil mààn tiy', incidentally. Head final syntax and all...

I've avoided translating "Conlangery", because it would come out as Ypnyykèèsumacax or something like that, and it's too many "ypnyy"s to have in one sentence, frankly. Ypnyy means 'invent', kèèsu means 'language', and 'macax' is a suffix referring to a follower of something. That's fine, but there's no other word for 'constructed language' or 'conlang' besides 'ypnyykèèsu', and I've used the verb 'ypnyy' to refer to the act of creating the language too. There probably is a distinct verb 'to create' somewhere in my lexicon, but I can't be bothered finding it.

'Be greeted at Conlangery (Conlangery), which is a broadcast of/about built languages and of/about people by which they are created.'

Sinturakān 'broadcast' contains the words sinto 'wave', turaka- 'to send, to transfer' (why is that such a long word?) and the nominalizing suffix -an. So literally a "wave transmission". As for Konlengeri and Narānacan, you may choose yourself. Narānacan I built from narān 'word, language' + -ati 'maker/producer of things' + -an, where I reduced -atian to -acan via -atyan.

I'm trying to pronounce people's IPA transcriptions right now and fail pretty much. I'm curious to hear them pronounced by the hosts on the show

Arve: (going to redo the relevant bits of syntax when I get home, but)
Des Conlangery leich vön sattes.

In Standard, that'd be (was going to give both IPA and X-SAMPA because my phone hates Unicode, but nooo, I can't even copy text in an input field without copying the whole fucking field, so http://conlanger.com/xipa.html )
[%CA~O~_^%nla~NI"rIj "lVi_^M\_0 Y "tr_0_hV?Is]

But you could also get away with Midland, which is:
[%Ca~@~_^%l{~NI%rIj "lVi_^C Y "r_0V_ki_k_^s]

So do whichever's easier. Though prosody is unintuitive enough that it'd probably be better to wait until I'm at home and can do a recording... Essentially, stress and pitch go up, instead of down, in a prosodic block(?) -- i.e. "con", or rather "des con" is lower and less stressed than "lang", which is about equal, though possibly lower, than "leich". (Why doesn't IPA have a symbol for tertiary stress?) But at the same time, "con" and "ry" are longer than "lang" and "leich", because they don't have an unstressed syllable attached to them. (I'm not sure how to handle the problem of the Midland syllable loss in "sattes". I'd use it to reintroduce vowel length, but there's enough going on already, and I've not elided anything else in that position so all the long vowels would be creaky and all the creaky vowels would be long.)

Northern is much easier, though, but I've forgotten how it works, and the grammar would be simplified in ways that I've not worked out yet. (As a side note, I really want to see a conlang that innovates phrases as a result of prosody changing reduction patterns, as happened IMI with "I've not", which I think exists because it's one syllable shorter than "I haven't", as well as avoiding an ugly vowel cluster. Though it appears more in writing for me, so it's probably actually just that it's shorter.)

(Moved from accidently posted in the original conlangy thread. ):

In salthan, "conlangy" could be done a few ways, and I couldn't decide which one was best, so here'a all 3.

No matter what I do, it's biting off the begining of the first one, at least on my end. I'm going to try again later.

Dikaɘʃa in each is "welcome", and Ul- prefix is "inside of"


(konlanȝali "Konlangee" transposed)

Welcome to Conlangery:
Dersembà ràderusios!
[ˈd̥eʂemˌb̥ɞ ʁœːˈd̥ɛʁusjəs]

Simple enough

Here it is in Standard Telèmor:
Dobrovare èt "Conlangery"
[do.bɾoˈva.ɾe ət konʹlan.kə.ɾi]
(Telèmor does not normally adapt proper names of works of literature, art, or otherwise into Telèmor orthography, but the pronunciation is modified accordingly.)

And how about Standard Ilian, if you're also up for that:
Kanlãgáry týret abycytatke. (informal)
[ˈkan.lɐ̃.gaː.ɾi ˈtiːɾet ˈa.bi.ʃi.tɐtˌke]
Kanlãgáry Bacqýret abycytatke. (more formal)

'Welcome to conlangery' in both Fuotonh and Ogar:

lit. You will be gifting warmth to the [result of the artificial good tongue].

"Conlangery" certainly was a challenge... miullist means language, which is made up of miul- (prefix), good, positive and list, (n) blade, tongue. I had to shove in the prefix for artificial, produced, fabricated in there, and then tackle the '-ery' bit. Glad I'd already tackled 'welcome' a while ago.

In fact, it's probably better to go for
Me yarchadeni tior Conlangery
/mə jaɹxæ'ðəɲə tɕoɹ 'konlæŋʁəri/

Coming up with a word for "podcasting" was not terribly difficult —courtwervend literally means "short-throwing", as opposed to telleswervend, literally "wide-throwing", which would normally be used for "broadcasting".
