Bretannish Scratchpad

[R.Rusanov]

A cat is a bestie. [ə kæt ɪz ə 'bɛsti] - Modern Bretannish (id.)
Un cat is un(e) bestie. [ʊn kæt ɪz 'ʊnə 'bɛsti] - Middle Bretannish (Maethy Bretannish)
Úno cátto àis úna béstie. - Old Bretannish (Vaecal Bretannish)
Ūnum cattum est ūna bēstia. - Latin (id.)

"A cat is a beast."

And el paund y el aurin laugh ca tu canash... [ænd ɛl pɑnd i ɛl 'ɑrɪn lɑ(:) kə t(j)u 'kɛ:nəʃ]
And el paund y el aurin lauch que tu canosh... [ænd ɛl pɑnd ɪ ɛl 'ɑrɪn lɑx kə tiu 'kæənəʃ]
Ánd éllo páundè ài éllo àuríno láuxo què tú canyósce...
Ante illum pontem et illum aurīnum locum quem tū cognōscis...

"Between the bridge and that golden spot which you know..."

Latin to Old Bretannish:
au > ɔ
iː uː > i u
ɪ e, ʊ o > e o
ɛ ɔ > ɛ ɔ
a aː > a
h disappears
m disappears word-finally but > n after a stressed vowel
regressive assimilation
stops delete word-finally
single stops fricativize intervocalically
ɣ > v before back vowels
e > ə / _r
ɛ ɔ > ai au when stressed, ə a when unstressed
ə drops word-finally

What is this? A romlang disguised as English?

C&C Quickies

[Nortaneous]

eh, it's probably a better idea to put scratchpads in C&C, so they aren't at risk of getting pruned

as i found out with hanheliubl, i lose motivation to work on a language once the scratchpad disappears

[Hallow XIII]

yes, but unlike this travesty nortlangs are usually worth the spot in C&C

[R.Rusanov]

I'm sorry this doesn't satisfy your linguistic tastes :^(

[Thry]

Based on this, shouldn't the reflex of Latin ante be something like [ænð]?

[KathTheDragon]

No, because the /d/ is not intervocalic. It's preceded by /n/.
