Post your conlang's phonology

[Xados]

good news is i have finally got a script people can agree on.

bad news is i have to reboot most of the language

[finlay]

...i really hate it when people use <h> for /ʔ/.

*shakes fist*

I use it in South Eresian. There's actually just a dialect-specific merger of /h ʔ/ in the dialect I use here, so I decided to represent all of them with <h> instead of apostrophes. Besides, it is attested (in the orthography I based mine off of, no less).

And what would you rather I do, blanket the language in apostrophes so it looks like it emerged from a bad fantasy novel?

thank you-but i got the idea from french

french has a silent h, not a glottal stop

close but not quite.

[Xados]

in certain and foreign words it aspirates it

[Astraios]

in certain and foreign words it aspirates it

Nope.

[Risla]

I wonder if he means spirantizes, so stuff like <ph> /f/ and <ch> /ʃ/.

[Xados]

key word; foreign and yes they do look it up

[Risla]

No, you provide sources.

[Astraios]

No, you provide sources.

*nod*

key word; foreign and yes they do look it up

Do you mean words like le hockey, where it's called "h-aspiré"? You're pretty rude for someone who doesn't know his stuff. There is no /h/ in French. End of.

[Xados]

no- x [in Xamarin] makes that sound, i was talking about /ʔ/

[Astraios]

no- x [in Xamarin] makes that sound, i was talking about /ʔ/

You mean you were saying French aspirates /ʔ/ in certain words?

[Xados]

close- they just call it aspiration, it really is just a glottal stop

[Astraios]

close- they just call it aspiration, it really is just a glottal stop

Oh, is it? Then why did you argue that it's aspirated?

[Xados]

accident- i just mixed up the french-english translation with the proper term

[sirdanilot]

You guys are hilarious, just so you know.

He is probably arguing that the <h> in words like le hockey is a glottal stop. Now my French is slightly rusty, but I really don't think it is.

[masako]

accident- i just mixed up the french-english translation with the proper term

Yeah, you keep doing that.

[Xados]

even if its false, arent we supposed to discuss something else, i don't want to end that like my last script [zz=f=fail]

[Xados]

accident- i just mixed up the french-english translation with the proper term

Yeah, you keep doing that.

very funny

[Astraios]

You'd be right. There's no phonemic glottal anything in French, not even glottal stops in words beginning with h-aspiré. So Xados saying that his <h> = /ʔ/ comes from French doesn't really make sense.

[Xados]

maybe so , now let's get back to my and other people's conlang fonology

[Astraios]

But probing the depths of your unknowledgeability is such fun!


I don't really care for your phonology, it's not to my tastes.

[Xados]

truthfully my extent of knowledge lies in writing-but i'm using an english keyboard-on a windows xp. 2. i am new but don't get me wrong i am very glossofilic and usually i work on 'fixing' the systems [trust me they're fonetic].

3. i don't care how bad you think of my fonology , i'll complete it eventually 'cuz all i have is the standard. in fact i'll go on hiatus and work on something else.

4. when is somebody else gonna post their fonology

[Astraios]

truthfully my extent of knowledge lies in writing-but i'm using an english keyboard-on a windows xp.

... And?

2. i am new but don't get me wrong i am very glossofilic and usually i work on 'fixing' the systems [trust me they're fonetic].

Right, this makes it so much clearer now, thanks.

3. i don't care how bad you think of my fonology , i'll complete it eventually 'cuz all i have is the standard. in fact i'll go on hiatus and work on something else.

You wanted people to comment on it, I commented it, and now you don't care what I think of it? Make up your mind.

[Risla]

I think he wanted people to compliment his phonology.

[Shrdlu]

I think he wanted people to compliment his phonology.

Well, they did: the zompist bboard-way

l

i lack special characters so my posts take a while

i generally do the 'fixing' in the latin form only. i said that because i don't do much besides that , that stems from glossofilia

i am new , as i said my language skills usually are related to orthografy and i'm sorry if i acted brash in any way

i'm new to this [2 years] and new to conlangs

another screw up astraios- i thought you already posted an opinion.

^^^ i mean exactly what i say -have mercy
