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.

No. It is a recipe with potatoes and potatoes.

NE: If it is the pastaj that confused you - that means "afterwards".

It is my native tongue, you know.

Except that because of years of disuse starting at an all-too young age whatever I may have had I lost, so I only speak very little. It is enough to produce a translation of a potato preserve recipe though.

NE: një minutë is one minute. The plural is minuta. Etc.

Maybe I'd invert the primary and secondary stress in /ˈnoʁdəˌʋɪnd/. But maybe that's because I'm from the North. I'm not sure.

Not really "challenging", but I need a good orthography for this.

/p t c b d ɟ/
/ɸ s ç β z ʝ/
/m~n~ɲ/
/i e ɑ o u ə/
/iː eː ɑː oː uː/

Fricatives had approximant allophones word-finally. All consonants could appear geminated. I'll put down a text anon.

Old Irish

Consonants:

Code: Select all

Nasal
broad	m	N  n	ŋ	 
slender	mʲ	Nʲ  nʲ	ŋʲ	 
Plosive
broad	p  b	t  d	k  ɡ	 
slender	pʲ  bʲ	tʲ  dʲ	kʲ  ɡʲ	 
Fricative
broad	f  v	θ  ð	s	x  ɣ	h
slender	fʲ  vʲ	θʲ  ðʲ	sʲ	xʲ  ɣʲ	hʲ
Nasalized
fricative
broad	ṽ	 	 	 	 
slender	ṽʲ	 	 	 	 
Approximant
broad	 	R  r	 	 
slender	 	Rʲ  rʲ	 	 
Lateral
broad	 	L  l	 	 
slender	 	Lʲ  lʲ	 	 
Vowels:
/a aː e eː i iː o oː u uː/
/ai au eu oi iu ia ui ua/

The capitalized consonants represent unknown phonemes, but they were likely fortis (more strongly pronounced) consonants, and /Nʲ Lʲ/ might be [ɲ ʎ].

Táin Bó Regamna (Cattle Raid of the Important Calf) **will try my best to accurate transcribe the example, it didn't come with an IPA transcription, blame University of Texas' linguistics department. Please correct me if possible, I'm trying to learn Old Irish, but it's going slowly.**

/a moi kuː xulaNˡ i nuːn iṽriðʲ koguːale nʲiː a nʲeːṽ | ko nʲdʲiːuxrastar tʲrʲiana xotluð konʲiðʲ korastar asːa imðʲi ko rʲiaxt inʲ nariðʲinʲ ina sʲuiðʲu for laːr/

superscript N = nasal (eclipsis) mutation trigger
superscript L = lenition mutation trigger
superscript H = epenthetic /h/ trigger (not shown in the example, but occurs with some frequency)

Yes, this is a HIGHLY simplified phonology, there are some pretty complex phonological processes in Old Irish.

*Note: Voiceless implosives, written like this instead of with a devoicing ring because I figured more people would complain about that than vice-versa.
