I just wonder, what about initial /sC/ clusters? How many are there non-IE langs that permit them?

Exactly, so why did you bring the number of speakers up?

That was about something completely different: the weird-attitude that some people have around here that calling a language "strange" or "weird" is Literally Worse Than HitlerTM and you're some retarded noob who still judges everything compared to English.

It's okay to say a language has strange elements cross-lingustically, people. I mean, this is literally what happened:

Me: Hey, Gleb gave me a language with these weird /wC jC clusters/
Nort: These two languages have them
Bird: They must be kinda weird--
Pole: lol fucking noobs, I bet those guys think English is weird 'cause it doesn't have those clusters, which obviously means that the idea of certain features being rare and thus "unusual/weird" cross-linguistically DOES NOT EXIST QED

Look at that non sequitur!

I know Polish has w plus consonant clusters and Czech has jsem. And w in Polish is written as Ł, Which I know because I know the alphabet and a few phrases.

Seed 1199240537 gives the following vowel inventory: /o ɔ ɔ̃ a ã i/.

Seed 1199437466 has a pretty not-unusual phoneme inventory, but the phonotactics are another matter:

(C1)(R1)V(R2)(C2)(C3)(C4)

C1: a consonant

R1: an approximant; i.e. one of /l w/

V: a vowel

R2: a sonorant; i.e. one of /m n ŋ l w/

C2: a consonant

C3: an alveolar consonant; i.e. one of /n ⁿtʰ ⁿd tʰ t s l/

C4: a consonant other than one of /p t k/ (/p t k/)

cross-linguistically bunched r and a vowel system with [the standard says eleven, I don't think there's any meaningful way to distinguish /ai au oi/ from the other ones so that makes at least fourteen, there's a decent argument to be made that /ar er or ir/ are diphthongs (but not /Vr/ afaik), and some dialects arguably have distinct /Vi/ and /@u/ as opposed to /ai o/, so maybe twenty] vowels are rare. DAE english?????

anyway, the point is that 'rare' doesn't mean 'unattested', and it is certainly possible to have #jC #wC clusters.

japhug rgyalrong frequently has vowel-final... not sure what they are, particles of some sort... before nouns, so /jla/ is often preceded by [t7] or [k7] or w/e it is. hiw wC clusters, well, hiw /w/ is actually /G_w/ on a theoretical level.

iirc czech #jC clusters drop the /j/ except before a vowel, maybe always.

also initial fricative-stop clusters aren't *that* uncommon.

as for gleb phonotactics, i once had one where initial clusters were any consonant followed by one of /g r/. which isn't that bad an idea, i might do that

Seed 1956171154 offers quite a few un-English features in a small space (23 phonemes):

aeiou mn pb tt'd kk'g ɂ f s h hʷ l L w

hʷ is described as a rounded pharyngeal fricative

The maximum syllable is: CVRC. Where R is any of mn lL w s.

- Seed 1745224066: Unremarkable five-vowel system, but /p pʼ t tʼ c cʼ k kʼ/ for stops, /w ɹ j/ for approximants, and no other consonants. No allophonic fricatives or nasals, either, and there's an allophonic rule turning /wj/ into [ww], though this should never happen because the phonotactics are (C)V .
- Seed 1747947433: Rather bizarre all-around:

/m n/
/t d k/
/s h/
/l j ʎ w ʟ/

/ɯ ɔ a œ y ɛ i/
- Seed 1774026322: The only fricatives are /fʰ f/ (apparently in place of /pʰ p/).
- Seed 1776419713: The fricatives are /f z h/.
- Seed 1776583651: /ʀ̆ʷ/. (If this isn't weird, I apologize.)
- Seed 1777238142: /u ʊ o ɔ ɒ ɑ ɪ̈ ɨ œ ɛ e ɪ i/.

Yeah, but #wC is extremely rare. wC is much more common in the middle of the word. In fact, I can only think of two words with #wC: „łkać“ /wkat͡ɕ/ (to weep) and „łza“ /wza/ (tear) - and I would venture a guess that they come from the same root, etymologically.

EDIT: I was able to find a few more #wC words in Polish after thinking a bit more, so maybe it’s not THAT unusual.

seed 1620359910 has some interesting allophone processes and alveopalatal consonants that pattern with /n t s/.

EDIT: I'm having real trouble with the "apical" and "laminal" and "retroflex" parts of this gleb seed, it never explains whether a consonant is apical or laminal, but it derives sound changes based on that. It especially is confusing when I think that "alveopalatal laminals" can't exist, because alveopalatals are dorsal?? Here's the whole page besides the example words, could you guys help me understand it? (I know that gleb is not the best thing for allophones, and I'm sure it's unrealistic)

Can you stop pasting the entire page here every time you do this? just post the particularly interesting parts of the phonologies or keep these things to yourself.

Seed 1741539254 has k͡xʰˡ , k͡xˡ , k͡xʼˡ, g͡ɣˡ and ɠ̰ˡ with no k͡xʰ, k͡x, k͡xʼ, g͡ɣ, and ɠ̰.
Seed 1725023433 has phonemic ɴ.
Seed 1638681236 has tʰ̻ and one of the words is /fɛ̃t̻t̻ɛ̃/ that is realized as [mʲɛ̃nʲ̻nʲ̻ɛ̃]. Seems that Gleb loves laminal consonants...
Seed 1663682697 has kʰ̟ k̟ kʰ k kʰʷ kʷ.

seed 1227660750. Vowels are /u o a/. also. Voiceless nasals,
seed 1238179734. Rounded voiceless velar fricative without /x/. Syllable structure is another matter.
(C1)(C2)(j)(C3)V
C1: a consonant other than a stop or nasal; i.e. one of /ʔ s ç xʷ r j w/
C2: one of /m n ŋ p t tʼ k kʼ ʔ s xʷ r j w/
C3: a consonant
V: a vowel
/rjtejki/ [rʲjtejki] is one of the words. That is completely unusual.
seed 1259084660.
(C1)V(R)(C2)(C3)
C1: a consonant
V: a vowel
R: a sonorant; i.e. one of /m n̻ nʲ̻ r̻ j w/
C2: a consonant
C3: a consonant other than a stop or nasal; i.e. one of /s̻ ç χ r̻ j w/

Seed 1266280700 is not too exceptional, except for that it's inventory is almost the exact same as one I was thinking of for another conlang.

I don't remember the seed anymore, but I got a phonology including a "z̃˂" phoneme. Anybody care to enlighten me on what this "˂" thing is?

Seed 1210300501 has this completely useless set of consecutive rules:
(177) Back vowels and semivowels [w u w̥ ɔ] persistently become central [w̟ ʉ w̟̥ ɞ] before a palatal semivowel.
Rule (177) becomes inactive.
It also has voiced and voiceless open-mid central rounded semivowels as allophones of w and ʍ, respectively.
