Guess the Language, anyone?

[Nortaneous]

No to both. Birdlang, you don't know what Japhug looks like. Stop fucking guessing it.

[Bristel]

Is it a Kukish language?

[gaiusmarchaave]

S'gaw Karen?

[Nortaneous]

Kukish. Not S'gaw Karen.

[Birdlang]

Kuki?

[Nortaneous]

Kɯki mbro ki junɯtsɯma.

(no)

[Bristel]

Anaal?

[Birdlang]

Hrangkhol?

[Birdlang]

Vaiphei? Because of the "ei" and whatever î stands for.

[din]

Anaal?

I'm kinda waiting for Jay to make a joke. Let's groan in anticipation.

:grooooooan:

[Nortaneous]

None of the above.

[Birdlang]

Lashan.

While this is certainly not my area of expertise I thought I would try anyway. After doing some research, getting a headache and then listening to some recordings I am going to make a mostly unqualified guess that it is Bawm Chin, mostly because the recording sounded like it had a lot of glottal stops in it which would explain the apostrophe-spam.

[Nortaneous]

No.

Since this has gone on for pretty long: the apostrophes aren't glottal stops.

[Birdlang]

What do the apostrophes and i circumflex stand for anyways?
My guess is Tedim Chin because the apostrophes. Or Mara Chin because of the circumflex.

[Nortaneous]

Morpheme boundaries or gemination. It's nothing with Chin in the name.

oh right I was going to post a longer text from that story

[sirdanilot]

Shö

[Nortaneous]

No. Y'all know Kuki-Chin has subgroups, right?

[sirdanilot]

I hadn't even heard of this entire family until now. I just wiki'd a random language of this family.

Mainland south-east asian languages are very fascinating but sadly I know very little about them. The orthography with the insane amount of apostrophes is just ridiculous though. And how on earth is <k'ptxhi> pronounced? [kptʃi]?

[Nortaneous]

kpʈʰi, probably with epenthetic vowels

[Bristel]

Is it Lamkang?

[Nortaneous]

It is.

I wanted to post Anal but couldn't find a sample.

[kuroda]

Bump.
