Resolved: Name/paper for PNG language - it's Rapoisi

Post by Αυτοβοτα »

I saw a short paper linked here that gave an overview of a language with a minimal inventory.

The inventory was this, IIRC:
/m n/ *EDIT: no nasals
/p t k ʔ/
/s/
/β ɾ ɣ/
maybe /h/ *EDIT: yes
/a e i o u/

/ɾ/: [ɾ~l~d]
*ti
si :>

There was some description of word construction as well.

I can't find the post/paper anymore. Anybody know the name or know where I can find the paper?

*EDIT: the paper

Chances are it's Ryukyuan (Resources).

You can try this post: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=42540
The conlanger formerly known as “the conlanger formerly known as Pole, the”.

If we don't study the mistakes of the future we're doomed to repeat them for the first time.

The only language in that table with both /G/ and /?/ is Rapoisi.

Chei. Chei. Chei. Chei. Chei. Chei. Chei.

Aha! It is Rapoisi! But no nasals. Thanks, Nort.

The thread/post, the paper, where I remembered the amusingly empty consonant table.
