Help your conlang fluency (2)

Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

There are too many Germanic languages! I must stop this.

But duh, South-Koreans communicate through gaming messages, anyway, not spoken language.

I was going to say something about the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, but I haven't designed any of the characters I would need for "Industrial Revolution", and it's late, so I give up.

Just going through a list of phrases to test the grammar of Alahithian and have created the longest noun phrase so far:

Fisod bilawo modow valivawez shang fiwij davo.
child-PL many have wreath.of.flowers-PL their head.PL on
Many little girls with wreaths of flowers on their heads.

Something in this grammar is working. So far...
It was about time I changed this.

My older sister said that this language sounds like Swedish. She loves the sound of Swedish.

Vellekt es nur min Intonacon is.
/'vɛlɛkt ɛz nuɚɾ mɪn ˌɪntɒ'nɑtʃɒn ɪz/
Perhaps it's just my intonation.

Nais tods les diphthongs au /aw/ deviniren /o/ n'Irlanés. La disjunctión es /a/ ascripta au per etymologia. Concretament, les /aw/ initials deviniren just /a/: [...], assic que naltres logs se desenvolveu tal n'Espanyol au Catalán: [...]. Assic y ha exceptions a /o/ en favor de /a/ n'Espanyol, nel cas de aug- initial [...], n'Irlanés simplesment fou generalizad nessa positión. Nals dialects con vocalizatión de /l/ a fen syllábic, adim cosas tal atre per altre.
Not all au /aw/ diphthongs became /o/ in Irlandic. The disjunction is /a/ spelled au etymologically.
Concretely, word-initial /aw/ became just /a/: adir (to hear), asar (both to dare and to roast), ar (gold), arelya (ear); while at other places it behaved as in Spanish or Catalan: tor (bull), poc (few), etc. There are also exceptions to /o/ in favor of /a/ in Spanish, in case of initial aug- (agosto for instance), in Irlandic it just generalized in that position. In some dialects with vocalization of /l/ in coda, we hear things like atre today for altre (other).
