Guess the Language, anyone?

[Qwynegold]

Yugur?

[gach]

Not Yugur.

[Birdlang]

Khalkha Mongollian?

[gach]

No

[Xephyr]

Wait why did Gach win that last round? Kalmyk is Oirat.

[gach]

Don't know, I take it as Nort's judgement. However, Kalmyk does exist as its own standard and is conventionally regarded as a "language". But maybe there is a need for explicit rules for how to deal with dialect continua and multiple literary standards.

[Xephyr]

Meh, doesn't matter.


Nanai?

[gach]

Getting closer but still not correct.

[ObsequiousNewt]

Even?

[gach]

Even is right.

Sorry if this ends up being too easy or too hard... I've not done this before.

[Nortaneous]

I wouldn't have given it to someone who guessed Mongolian, and if I posted Japhug rGyalrong I wouldn't give it to someone who just guessed "rGyalrong". Kalmyk has its own standard and its own Wikipedia, so I figure it's its own language.

Probably best to avoid ambiguous cases like that in the future. Which probably means not posting any Mongolic languages. Oh well.

[gach]

Mongolic does have its problems. I would have had some good examples from Chakhar Mongolian but I don't think people would feel happy going after specific dialects. Plus, the material is produced by a native speaker of said idiom but instead of adapting any practical standard uses a wholly linguistically motivated special orthography.

Is it spoken in Central America?

[ObsequiousNewt]

Is it spoken in Central America?

Nope.

[Birdlang]

Is it spoken in China? Does ts and tss stand for palatal or postalveolar fricatives? Probably Wutun.
If not, then Quechua or Aymara?

[ObsequiousNewt]

One guess at a time, please, and no, it's not Wutun.

It does not look Andean because of the voiced fricatives, however there are some languages that do have voiced fricatives. It's not a language of the barbacoan family, so then it can be Yanesha.
But it's probably not at all in South America and I don't know too much about non-south-american languages.

[Birdlang]

Japhug RGyalrong?

[ObsequiousNewt]

Japhug RGyalrong?

No.

[Nesescosac]

Is it Cofán?

[ObsequiousNewt]

Is it Cofán?

It is Cofán.

[Nesescosac]

I've done enough of these that y'all should know the extra rules I put into effect - one guess at a time, languages guesses only until 24 hours have passed.

[alynnidalar]

Is it from Africa?

[sirdanilot]

Is it Cofán?

It is Cofán.

Oh damnit ! That's in an area that I am interested in, if you would have taken Páez or a Barbacoan language I might have guessed it.

As for the next language, I guess of the austronesian family.
