Do the birds consider all sounds, including g with a stroke, to be vowels? Is this a statement on conbird conculture? Do these birds sing?

They sing in their language, and they consider the consonants consonants.

How do they make labials and rounded vowels with beaks?

They have lips and teeth, but the lips are invisible, so the p and b sound like beak snaps.

This is a more simple dialect. The main language has 70 consonants and 20 vowels that can be long or nasalized or rhotacized or two of those or all three.

Beak snapping and closing the beak when pronouncing a vowel.

Could you tell us more about their singing?

They sing. But they have vocal chords and the instruments they play include a keyboard with 20,061 sounds, toys with sound (all are plush or vinyl PVC), a keyboard instrument utilizing air bulbs with reeds under the keys for the different pitches, recorder like reed flute with reed tube instead of reed attached to mouthpiece, and laser harps. The toys are because they LOVE those kinds of toys, they have nothing wrong though. They also sing about love, their homeland, dancing, animals, their toys (which are all made by the same company, Birdco), death, fun, life, and their religious music has themes about gods, goddesses, lost hope and emotions, and they use a Hammond-like organ and the keyboard with over 20,000 sounds. They also have dances that are very ornate, and they are very against talking about personal stuff.

You have very unique imagination.

Hweir Music makes all sorts of synth sounds and can accurately make a flute sound or even a kheej! A kheej is a Hmong reed instrument, and some of the sounds are sound effects, drums, heavy metal guitar, and power synth charang. and chiff er lead.

They are inside their mouths.

Can they make clicks with their beaks?

xroox wrote:Can they make clicks with their beaks?

Yes. It is in the main Bird language, but only the velar click.

Birdlang wrote:velar click

How?

(scrapped)

Because they are aliens, they can pronounce it. Also, I made a bunch of languages with velar taps. And one with every unpronounceable sound.

Sure but using "aliens" as a reason to "I'll make a human language but stupid" isn't exactly the most creatively deep endeavour you might undertake

A language with "every unpronounceable sound" seems somewhat unrealistic, to say the least.

Birdlang is cutting corners. Obviously the cool and smart thing that is desired is a conlang composed of all the inconceivable phonemes -- each and every single one of them. Until I see that, or he kicks down some of the turbocharged drugs he's on, which weren't around when I was his age, I don't see any point in commenting on this nooblangery.

A synthesizer can make infinite amount of sounds. I don't see why it's special?
