=='''AntiSpamHQ'''==
== Front page ==
And since this appears to be the Anti-Spambot Combat HQ I thought I'd update you guys with some details regarding our new captcha system. It's practically infinitely extensible as it consists of asking people to answer a simple question when they register. If one question is cracked, we can add new ones. I'm also looking into some tools that let you limit the allowed usernames on site (I'd guess eliminating numbers from usernames would result in a lot less spambots) while being only a mild, if any, inconvenience to any real user.

The pages for these two languages on my computer do not have a side or top bar and cut off before the end [specifically at "vowels" and "ba" respectively], other language pages seem to be working fine. Could you look into this for me?

:I suspect we're being targeted by spambots with manual regs, i.e. they outsource questions/captchas to people that speak English,who for a pittance of cash answer them, and then bots go apeshit with spamming. Sigh. At least I think we're past the auto-reg bots. As can be seen from the registration times this has slowed down a tad.

I should have gotten a screen grab but it seems to have resolved itself. If you're interested, just incase this is a recurring error;


I don't see why they would target us, tehre is not enough traffic to really justify it. [[File:Zelos.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]]&nbsp;'''[[User Talk:EmperorZelos|<span style="color:#800080;">Emperor Zelos</span>]]''' 06:24, 30 April 2013 (CEST)
*The main page itself was the only thing visible; the side bar [Mainpage, Announcements, Recent Changes... Toolbox, Other], tabs [Mainpage, Discussion, Read, Edit... Go, Search] and top bar [My Talk, My Preferences, My Watchlist... etc] were simply blank; there was no visible text or anything where they should have been.


I don't think they base their targets on traffic. They just want more links to their pages, doesn't matter how. The registration system worked fine though, having inaugurated it myself!

*The end of the page also cut off; nothing after certain sections were accessible and the browser treated it as if the page ended there in the middle of the article, not allowing me to scroll further down; thus the Category section was not accessible.  


*Attempting to link to the areas cut off from the navigation box or using ctrl+f to find a word would give no response [or no result in the case of ctrl+f], though the navigation box would link me directly to the parts of the article as it would normally on other pages.


==Language de qualité==
Hasn't happened to me before on any other forums so I suspect it may have been an error with Linguifex, possibly due to my trying to access these pages through history or favourites? Either way, it is resolved now.


Y-at-il un projet pour faire revivre le "langage de qualité"? Ou quelque chose comme un "défi à traduire"? Je suis passé par CALS et j'ai traduit près que tous leur challenge, mais ça commence à me faire ennuyer.

Mais ouis, nous seulement devons contrôler les règles et la procédure! J'ai importé quelque [[:Category:Translations|textes]].
I want to create a completely new language to use while I work on my Germanic conlang. I want it to be totally unrelated to any living languages but still go with the old European Nominative-Accusative fusional deal. The thing is, I want to make it so it seems to flow easily and look good/beautiful when written. Do ye have any ideas for this and maybe any notable alphabets or ideas to create a constructed script? --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 01:20, 26 July 2013 (CEST)


Bien sure, si tu voudrais. Mais je suis très franc! [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  12:48, 5 May 2013 (CEST)
And I'm not just talking about visually flowing, but I mean it could just roll off the tongue like a delicious smoothy of sorts :) --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 01:41, 26 July 2013 (CEST)


Ah, très bien. Je les ferai bientôt.
Try a hawaiian esque free vowel no dipthong system, but replace all stops with a lot of taps, trills, nasals, and approximants like you see in Indian languages. Add tone to give it a songlike quality.
As for the writing system, look at the alphabets of southern india, they were written on palm leaves which would rip if the script was too rough. Also make all your sounds voiced, voiceless sounds interrupt the hum of speech.
Of course, I'm defining flow as sounds which do not interrupt the hum of voiced speech. You might not actually know what what you want when you think of something so subjective as how a language "rools of the tongue", in which case, you are the only one who can decide.


Mais, je sais pas comment vous pourriez me offenser. À mon avis, ma page a l'air de manque quelque chose et je veux seulement savoir quoi.

Et merci pour en commencer avec les nominations pour langage de qualité,  
Hey, thanks for the great insight! I'll definitely check out the Hawaiian speech and southern Indian script. I hadn't thought of the voicing and I don't really know what tone is but I'll definitely look into it, and yeah that is quite subjective I s'pose :p Thanks! --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 09:58, 26 July 2013 (CEST)

Greatbuddha makes a few great points. My personal trick for this is to try to imitate an orthography of a language that I really like, be it a conlang or natlang, and make a completely different grammar. Think of it as a car, you paint it, add a few features, but under the bonnet, no one grasps its complexity!


Ne t'inquiète pas, je n'ai pas l'intention de t'offenser! Et de rien. Je vais commencer une suggestion concernant les traductions bientôt. [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  17:38, 6 May 2013 (CEST)
I'd say you should do this: Take a shorter text and then semi-translate it into a few different sketchlangs, all of them with different orthographies and phonologies, then see which one you like the best, or mix them up! Hope it helps at all, [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''  21:36, 26 July 2013 (CEST)


Ah, I'm worried my meaning might have gotten lost in the translation; I meant to say "I don't know how I could be offended by it"; judging by how you looked over Zelos' page, your criticism seems concise and constructive so honesty is an asset. I posted the request after doing some major page repairs and I have a couple other fixes in mind so I'm not overly attached to any terminology or the lay out particularly. Judging by the above and a mention in the forums, I suspect you're going to suggest adding a Liepzig gloss? I've looked over the manual again earlier and will be free to add one to the example phases soon.
Sounds like a plan! In my conworld it's supposed to be a sort of language of the angels so that's what I'm looking for. :) --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 00:47, 27 July 2013 (CEST)

PS. This relay reminded me of how much I love Fén and why. It just sounds so pretty next to the near inpenetrable and unpronouncable Cwengâr.
* Bassform: ''Dē jaggter '''sgit''' dē konin.'' - The hunter shoots the rabbit. - '''Present tense'''
* Trʉgtytform: ''Dē jaggter '''sgiti''' dē konin.'' - The hunter shot the rabbit. '''Past tense''' (or '''preterite/imperfect''')
* Giyntnē form: ''Dē jaggter heppt dē konin '''gisgit'''. ''- The hunter has shot the rabbit. - '''Perfect tense''' (or '''present retrospective''')
* Byform: ''Dē jaggter will dē konin '''sgitē'''.'' (''"Dē jaggter will '''sgit''' dē konin" iss aug a kunnighyt'') - The hunter will shoot the rabbit. - '''Future tense'''

You got it all right except the (somewhat illogical) byform, that sentence means "The hunter wants to shoot the rabbit", though "The hunter will shoot the rabbit" could also take a byform. It can also be used in some clauses, but in most cases it can be replaced by a sentence with a slightly different word order and a bassform.

I just figured it followed a common Germanic trait using "will" to form the future tense! (In Swedish, we'd use the same construction as above, so it was 50/50 chance).

::I just assumed that I put in fair late for you guys and it might take 24ish hours to get a reply, so no worries for lateness. Happy Lucia, by the way.


Thank you for pointing out those corrections! (and even more for pointing to which contionary entry I should be modeling after!) Most of how I've been building up the format and lay out for my language on this site (and previous sites) has been by looking at other entries and emulating them, so I was a little lost as to what I needed for a Contionary Entry.
::I was thinking of Dhannuá, since both draw on celtic elements. Generally though, it's the fact that you've already done a translation of The Wildman and the King, which I felt got the flavour of what I was going for, means you have some experience rooting through what I feel is a rather difficult conlang and one which might be even more difficult for someone going into it blind with a language that has a vocabuluary better suited for a futuristic or contemporary setting, in the same way that I tend to have trouble translating really contemporary elements. But I'm definitely okay with whatever, so Skājamāl suits me if that's what has your interest at the moment.

Question: I'm patterning my language on a mixture/slurring of several older languages, but as I've never had the chance to document the etymology before now, I didn't record it - do you think that my language will suffer because of this? I could possibly find which language the words came from, but it would take a lot of work and effort, and I'd much rather spend that energy moving forward. It's not all of my language, but the pronouns, the colors, then numbers and some other vocabulary... Would it be wrong to list the origins of those words as "lost"?

Certainly, I can initiate the sign-ups right now! However, bear in mind that the draught will take about one week, and then there's one week for the relay itself; we are after all approaching the Christmastide, and as such the activity will reach new lows. :P




No, no, I think not. If you really can't remember the etymologies (and can't make up some new ones!), just list them as "Unknown." Happens all the time.
The featured language nominations on the other hand, I'm willing to initiate on the spot!

Hey,


If I may, this sounds like a really good idea. As someone with relatively minimal knowledge of linguistics, I've relied a lot on my knowledge of other Western European Languages to see how much meaning is packed into a word and how you can mess with it which can be hard to imagine, especially if you are a Monoglot.
Sorry for delaying everything around here! I got blindsided by a lot of stuff over the holidays and fell behind, I've been playing a frantic game of catchup since. I should have hte first leg up soon and will vote promptly.


An example of this that might be good, is that Wiktionary gives the definition of From as;
Apologies,


*With the source or provenance of or at. (I got a letter from my brother)
-[[User:Fauxlosophe|Fauxlosophe]] ([[User talk:Fauxlosophe|talk]]) 03:45, 19 January 2014 (CET)
*With the origin, starting point or initial reference of or at. (Face away from the wall)
* With the separation, exclusion or differentiation of. (He knows right from wrong)


Which someone might not think of separating in a different language, because they're used to it all being in a single unit in what they speak. This isn't the best example but it's one of a few words that have different meanings that I associate.
Oh no worries! I myself ought to apologise, I have been fairly busy as well! I'm just glad it's started. :) [[File:Waahlis.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Waahlis|<span style="color: Orange;">Waahlis</span>]]'''   08:32, 21 January 2014 (CET)

==Featured Blurb==


I think this covers the basics of it;


Fén Ghír (Is there a way I could get my conscript in this?) is spoken primarily amongst the Fén people on the North-Western Fén Ír penisula as well as various islands and smaller northern settlements on the continent known as Dínír amongst the Fén, and refered to as "Borealis" in a more culturally neutral English on the Conworld of "Sphaera".  It is one of four major surviving members of the Galavic family, and the only politically independant one. It is also distantly related to Toryl, So'raan and Zewani. Fén primarily relies on two scripts, the first, Highlands Fén or Célán is a system similar to runic or Ogham which evolved from a tallymark sytem, the other Lowland Writing which is a more recent innovation derived from the Toryl system that lies somewhere between an abjad and alphabet.
Sorry, most of these are clashes of draughts!


Fén Ghír is an a priori constructed language by the user Fauxlosophe on the Linguifex Wiki for the conworld Sphaera. It shows heavy Irish Gaelic influence in orthography and phonology, as well as in Grammar. Grammar and Syllable structure have also been heavily influenced by Japanese. English and French are also present as lesser influences.
* Unaccented ti- = '''2.SG.POSS''', also as ''tí-''-
* Wuwúa- = '''1PL.HE'''-
* Shakíne = with that which is swift ~ '''quickly'''-
* -tsi = '''CON''', conative, "attempting to do something". The ''-tsi'' in ''Téeyimbaa'''tsi''''' is supposed to be an imperfective, though.
* ay- = there is no inherent meaning as a prefix, but it does signify the subjunctive in words after ''ku''; (''uyáhahamb'''ay''''', ''yáahamb'''ay'''ak'').

What would be the best realisation for the Swedish "sj-sound" for a foreigner to adopt? [[File:PMOB.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]]&nbsp;'''[[User:PMOB|<span style="color:red;">Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán</span>]]''' 14:04, 25 March 2014 (CET)


No no, you've got it wrong! I asked for on the forums to move the content box(the list of all the in-page links near the top) so it would be right beneath the title of the page, and my intro text about the language near the top of the page would be between the content box and the progress box. Then I checked to find the box on the completely opposite side of my page modified. I'm just moving the vocabulary to spreadsheets, all the other stuff will be here, and I'll also link the vocabulary to my page, probably from google docs or something. :) I'm not going anywhere, just getting more organized. --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 15:58, 23 June 2013 (CEST)


Also, can I make the expand button move into the left most box in the table and not the right most? --[[User:OlySlayer|OlySlayer]] ([[User talk:OlySlayer|talk]]) 16:06, 23 June 2013 (CEST)
I would recommend a post-alveolar or possibly alveolo-palatal voiceless fricative, mainly because it's a common realisation in many dialects. It is not at all the accurate pronunciation, and not phonetically very close, however. Phonetically, try maybe, a voiceless labio-velar approximant or a very labialised voiceless velar fricative.

Well, I do not think it is possible to get the intro inbetween the Contents list and the Progress box. However, if you create a heading for the intro, it will automatically go beneath both the contents and the progress box. ''However'', this is contrary to our manual of style, as we prefer to have an introduction on the top of the page (Like wikipedia). Although I suppose we could make an exception...
Thanks for the advice! What is it for you? [[File:PMOB.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]]&nbsp;'''[[User:PMOB|<span style="color:red;">Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán</span>]]''' 16:29, 29 March 2014 (CET)

True, I can never decide if I want to keep this column or maybe just put "causative" or "stative" in the notes column on the side. I'll put a link to the verb spreadsheet when I'm finished with it so the world can enjoy.

Languages rarely do make sense. :P The Ris causative conjugates according to the different moods and voices of the language; thus morphologically similar to the aspects.

Well, there are lots of places to learn wikicode; a quick search gives loads of results! However, it is difficult to filter everything to that which you actually need to learn. I recommend you to look at other pages with the code you are looking for, and then copy it to your own page.


Concerning the verb table, you correctly inserted the "mw-collapsible mw-collapsed", but it is important that you put it in the <nowiki>'class="..." '</nowiki> part, right after "bluetable lightbluebg". :) Look at the pages me and the other administrators have made, and try to figure out what to do from that!

Cwengâr&Fén Ghír

The pages for these two languages on my computer do not have a side or top bar and cut off before the end [specifically at "vowels" and "ba" respectively], other language pages seem to be working fine. Could you look into this for me?

-Cheers, Fauxlosophe (talk) 00:53, 18 July 2013 (CEST)


Of course, I'll look into it. However, I don't quite grasp the problem? Waahlis.png Waahlis 16:20, 18 July 2013 (CEST)

I should have gotten a screen grab but it seems to have resolved itself. If you're interested, just incase this is a recurring error;

  • The main page itself was the only thing visible; the side bar [Mainpage, Announcements, Recent Changes... Toolbox, Other], tabs [Mainpage, Discussion, Read, Edit... Go, Search] and top bar [My Talk, My Preferences, My Watchlist... etc] were simply blank; there was no visible text or anything where they should have been.
  • The end of the page also cut off; nothing after certain sections were accessible and the browser treated it as if the page ended there in the middle of the article, not allowing me to scroll further down; thus the Category section was not accessible.
  • Attempting to link to the areas cut off from the navigation box or using ctrl+f to find a word would give no response [or no result in the case of ctrl+f], though the navigation box would link me directly to the parts of the article as it would normally on other pages.

Hasn't happened to me before on any other forums so I suspect it may have been an error with Linguifex, possibly due to my trying to access these pages through history or favourites? Either way, it is resolved now.

-Fauxlosophe (talk) 15:23, 21 July 2013 (CEST)


Hmm, I haven't experienced anything similar. Have you encountered it more than once? Waahlis.png Waahlis 12:40, 24 July 2013 (CEST)

A Priori

I want to create a completely new language to use while I work on my Germanic conlang. I want it to be totally unrelated to any living languages but still go with the old European Nominative-Accusative fusional deal. The thing is, I want to make it so it seems to flow easily and look good/beautiful when written. Do ye have any ideas for this and maybe any notable alphabets or ideas to create a constructed script? --OlySlayer (talk) 01:20, 26 July 2013 (CEST)

And I'm not just talking about visually flowing, but I mean it could just roll off the tongue like a delicious smoothy of sorts :) --OlySlayer (talk) 01:41, 26 July 2013 (CEST)

Try a hawaiian esque free vowel no dipthong system, but replace all stops with a lot of taps, trills, nasals, and approximants like you see in Indian languages. Add tone to give it a songlike quality. As for the writing system, look at the alphabets of southern india, they were written on palm leaves which would rip if the script was too rough. Also make all your sounds voiced, voiceless sounds interrupt the hum of speech. Of course, I'm defining flow as sounds which do not interrupt the hum of voiced speech. You might not actually know what what you want when you think of something so subjective as how a language "rools of the tongue", in which case, you are the only one who can decide.

Greatbuddha (talk) 08:20, 26 July 2013 (CEST)

Hey, thanks for the great insight! I'll definitely check out the Hawaiian speech and southern Indian script. I hadn't thought of the voicing and I don't really know what tone is but I'll definitely look into it, and yeah that is quite subjective I s'pose :p Thanks! --OlySlayer (talk) 09:58, 26 July 2013 (CEST)


Greatbuddha makes a few great points. My personal trick for this is to try to imitate an orthography of a language that I really like, be it a conlang or natlang, and make a completely different grammar. Think of it as a car, you paint it, add a few features, but under the bonnet, no one grasps its complexity!

I'd say you should do this: Take a shorter text and then semi-translate it into a few different sketchlangs, all of them with different orthographies and phonologies, then see which one you like the best, or mix them up! Hope it helps at all, Waahlis.png Waahlis 21:36, 26 July 2013 (CEST)

Tag, you're it! You can find the torch here! Have fun. :)

Relaytorch.svg This user is currently the torch bearer for First Linguifex Relay/Harākti and was handed it on 18:30, 6 September 2013 (CEST) by Ashucky. The torch will automagically pass on to the next relay member in 48 hours.


Arena

I can't create new threads here. Should we get the ball rolling on this? -Fauxlosophe (talk) 22:52, 16 September 2013 (CEST)


Sorry, that's from when I thought it was supposed to be a relay forum! I shall change it right away! By the way, I won't be very active here for about a week; I am currently writing the Second Linguifex Relay, and reconstructing a proto-language of mine! ^^ Waahlis.png Waahlis 23:15, 16 September 2013 (CEST)

Then as tempting as it may be, I won't usurp you with my own already finished text until after but I do have a few good ideas for other things we could do in the meantime. I'll put them up soon-Fauxlosophe (talk) 06:56, 17 September 2013 (CEST)

Let's decide that's the third one then! And please, go ahead! Message all the people you want there or ask Chrys to make cross-wiki announcement! I shall try to participate, myself. Waahlis.png Waahlis 07:45, 17 September 2013 (CEST)

I put up a few threads, the proverb one was specifically with you in mind. I've got a few proverbs in Fén that I'm happy with but you've got some catered perfectly for your language. Check out the rest as well!-Fauxlosophe (talk) 23:35, 25 September 2013 (CEST)

The Comlang

Are we going to finish it? Or do you want to start a new one? (Or not do a comlang at all?)

I don't really care, I was just look forward to all the linguistic experience probably it'd give me.

PS. This relay reminded me of how much I love Fén and why. It just sounds so pretty next to the near inpenetrable and unpronouncable Cwengâr.

Alska Reversion

Why was Alska reverted to how it was before? I'm going through and updating/remaking the language. Just wondering Darthme (talk) 21:21, 30 November 2013 (CET)


Oh, my dear bloody God! What have I done!? I'm so sorry, I'm on my tablet when browsing the site nowadays, I must've mistakenly reverted your edits! Have you fixed it, or shall I do it in the morning?

Pardon me, most sincerely, Waahlis.png Waahlis 00:37, 1 December 2013 (CET)


No it's fine, I reverted it again. For a moment I freaked out but the I remembered there was a changelog for each page, so I just set it back to how I had it. It's all good, so no worries. :) Darthme (talk) 11:18, 1 December 2013 (CET)

I'm ever so sorry! :P It shan't happen again! Waahlis.png Waahlis 11:21, 1 December 2013 (CET)

Next Relay

I have the text ready for the next relay as of ages ago. Chrys has volunteered to be the first victim as his conlang shares a few similarities to mine and will make the transition a little easier. As soon as you're ready to start collecting volunteers, I'm able to assemble a gloss.

Also when are we doing the next featured language?

Slán,

-Fauxlosophe (talk) 07:08, 13 December 2013 (CET)

On behalf of Waahlis (and indeed, all Swedes), I apologise for the tardy response. December 13 is Lucia day in Sweden where we celebrate the memory of light, warmth and sacrifice in the midst of seemingly everlasting darkness and cold with sweet saffron-buns and cookies. Furthermore, I am would like to inquire about which language specifically you have in mind? None of my languages are as analytic as yours :P And, I have a new pet project, at User:Chrysophylax/Skājamāl, which I'd love to use in the next relay if that's fine. It's YAIEL (Yet Another Indo-European Conlang) like Dhannuá so it shouldn't be too far removed grammatically in general terms, if you want to know what to expect. --Admin.png Χρυσοφύλαξ 07:26, 14 December 2013 (CET)
I just assumed that I put in fair late for you guys and it might take 24ish hours to get a reply, so no worries for lateness. Happy Lucia, by the way.
I was thinking of Dhannuá, since both draw on celtic elements. Generally though, it's the fact that you've already done a translation of The Wildman and the King, which I felt got the flavour of what I was going for, means you have some experience rooting through what I feel is a rather difficult conlang and one which might be even more difficult for someone going into it blind with a language that has a vocabuluary better suited for a futuristic or contemporary setting, in the same way that I tend to have trouble translating really contemporary elements. But I'm definitely okay with whatever, so Skājamāl suits me if that's what has your interest at the moment.
-Fauxlosophe (talk) 18:53, 14 December 2013 (CET)

Certainly, I can initiate the sign-ups right now! However, bear in mind that the draught will take about one week, and then there's one week for the relay itself; we are after all approaching the Christmastide, and as such the activity will reach new lows. :P


The featured language nominations on the other hand, I'm willing to initiate on the spot!

Sincerely, and Happy Lucia,Waahlis.png Waahlis 12:47, 14 December 2013 (CET)

Awesome!

Cheers and Happy Lucia, -Fauxlosophe (talk) 18:53, 14 December 2013 (CET)

Apologies/Third Relay

Hey,

Sorry for delaying everything around here! I got blindsided by a lot of stuff over the holidays and fell behind, I've been playing a frantic game of catchup since. I should have hte first leg up soon and will vote promptly.

Apologies,

-Fauxlosophe (talk) 03:45, 19 January 2014 (CET)

Oh no worries! I myself ought to apologise, I have been fairly busy as well! I'm just glad it's started. :) Waahlis.png Waahlis 08:32, 21 January 2014 (CET)

On the template

Hey Waahlis, I just got a message on my talk page reminding me of something that came up a few months ago. I was wondering if the language template could be changed to allow V2 as an option rather than only SVO or OSV. --OlySlayer (talk) 04:43, 19 January 2014 (CET)


Hi! I apologise, I have been away for a while! No matter, I have adjusted the template, and it now allows for the following extra word orders:


| V2=Verb-second
| VF=Verb-final
| SV=Subject-verb
| VS=Verb-subject
| OV= Object-verb
| VO=Verb-object
| SO=Subject-object
| OS=Object-subject
| Free=Free
| Non-configurational=Non-configurational

Hope it helps! Sincerely, Waahlis.png Waahlis 08:41, 21 January 2014 (CET)

Death by SVG

Sorry, I think I broke something here: File:MorphSyntAlign2.svg!! --Aquatiki (talk) 02:58, 30 January 2014 (CET)


Ah, yes, an SVG! We attempted to install support for them, but it backfired somewhat! No worries, I'll just delete it - I saw you updated a PNG equivalent. :) It can't affect the wiki as a whole, but I'm glad you left a message! Waahlis.png Waahlis 19:35, 30 January 2014 (CET)
OK. It was a major undertaking to get it working on my own personal wiki. Getting the latest version of PHP, ImageMagick, and dependencies is a real pain. I recommend people try http://image.online-convert.com/convert-to-png if they need PNG's made. --Aquatiki (talk) 20:50, 31 January 2014 (CET)

Missing words

So, now I've finally managed to make sense of most of your text, but it seems these words/affixes are missing in the wordlist:

  • Unaccented ti-
  • Wuwúa-
  • Shakíne
  • -tsi
  • ay-

I hope I will be able to make sense of the whole text if you give me the translations of those words as well :P Dē Graut Bʉr (talk) 19:05, 23 February 2014 (CET)



Sorry, most of these are clashes of draughts!

  • Unaccented ti- = 2.SG.POSS, also as tí--
  • Wuwúa- = 1PL.HE-
  • Shakíne = with that which is swift ~ quickly-
  • -tsi = CON, conative, "attempting to do something". The -tsi in Téeyimbaatsi is supposed to be an imperfective, though.
  • ay- = there is no inherent meaning as a prefix, but it does signify the subjunctive in words after ku; (uyáhahambay, yáahambayak).

I'm glad it wasn't any worse than this! ^^ Do tell if there's anything else! Waahlis.png Waahlis 21:11, 23 February 2014 (CET)

Ok, thanks. But if there is no prefix ay-, what's then going on with aytsurin? Dē Graut Bʉr (talk) 13:36, 25 February 2014 (CET)


Hmm... Gloss it as "about". :P Hehee... :( Waahlis.png Waahlis 20:40, 25 February 2014 (CET)

Buerkáns

I was just wondering if you had any critique for my newest conlang, Buerkáns. Is it a plausible within the Germanic language family? Or just your thoughts on it in general. Darthme (talk) 23:40, 2 March 2014 (CET)

Hi! Sorry, I've been pretty absent lately! I'll leave a response on your talk page, instead! :) Waahlis.png Waahlis 18:59, 28 March 2014 (CET)

sj

What would be the best realisation for the Swedish "sj-sound" for a foreigner to adopt? PMOB.png Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán 14:04, 25 March 2014 (CET)


I would recommend a post-alveolar or possibly alveolo-palatal voiceless fricative, mainly because it's a common realisation in many dialects. It is not at all the accurate pronunciation, and not phonetically very close, however. Phonetically, try maybe, a voiceless labio-velar approximant or a very labialised voiceless velar fricative. Waahlis.png Waahlis 20:32, 25 March 2014 (CET)


Thanks for the advice! What is it for you? PMOB.png Pá mamūnám ontā́ bán 16:29, 29 March 2014 (CET)

Tree-fity

Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 08:39, 30 March 2014 (CEST)


I agree! I tried to remain a bit objective! ^^ Well, the true "sj"-sound doesn't have an agreed upon transcription. For me, a (rather) close approximation before rounded vowels is [ɸˠʷ], whilst [x̞ʷ] kind of works in other contexts. Waahlis.png Waahlis 19:54, 30 March 2014 (CEST)

It is our nation, we can be as much of mean bastards as we can! *shakes fist* Let's call the sound sklrplhglykhh and call it a day so no one can pronounce it as it requires 3 tounges and another 8 places of articulation Zelos.png Emperor Zelos 20:29, 30 March 2014 (CEST)

Can one use fingers as additional tongues? Though I won't start naming all the other places of articulation here... :P Juhhmi (talk) 22:27, 30 March 2014 (CEST)


¿Adivina quién está aquí?

Hola chico, ¿cómo estás? ¡La mar de tiempo que no nos hablamos! Muchísimo, mejor, "muchimuchísimo" :( Me han pasado muchas cosas en estos meses y no todas bonitas... ¡¡¡Por fin puedo volver a escribir algo a esta página y a modificar y continuar mis conlangs!!! Ahora estoy acabando mi trabajo para la graduación (la última graduación de las dos que sirven para completar un ciclo de estudios universitarios aquí) y he hecho una solicitud para ir a una Folkshögskola en Suecia y ahora tengo que esperar el resultado  :) Desde hace un poquito trabajo - pero sin salario - como profesor de italiano para extranjeros y me gusta mucho :) ¿Y tú? ¿Todo bien? ¡Una gran abrazada! Llyn.png Llais 02:56, 10 April 2014 (CEST)

Llyn! De verdad, Hace poco me he graduado de la escuela secundaria sueca, y por eso no he tenido tiempo por nada para trabajar en el wiki. Me alegra que todo va tan bien!! Yo también he trabajado como profesor privado (de las matemáticas)! Ya no has visitado Suecia? Qué pena! Cuál Folkhögskola has eligido? :O

Y como siempre, todo bien, visité España hace una semana! ^^ Waahlis.png Waahlis 14:43, 23 June 2014 (CEST)

¡Hola! La verdad ya no esperaba tu respuesta :P ¡Jajajaja! No te preocupes, te entiendo bien. ¡Felicidades! ¿Conoces bien las matemáticas también? ¡Qué bueno! :) Las cosas han mudado: he trabajado estos últimos tres meses como profesor privado de italiano CON salario :P Me han eligido para irme a Suecia, pero la Folkhögskola ha sido eligida por el Svenska Institutet: Vindeln. El 28 de augusto me voy y me quedo allá hasta el final de noviembre. Ya visité Estocolmo en 2009, esta va a ser mi segunda vez en Suecia :) Lo siento que yo no vaya a estar cerca de tu ciudad, me gustaría muchísimo conocerte en persona :) Ahora voy, estos días estoy preparando mis maletas y lo que me sirve para viajar a Suecia y quedarme allá durante tres meses :) Espero que me vaya a gustar como hace cinco años.

Delete Conlang page please?

Hi Wåhlis! I was wondering if you could please delete my conlang pages:

User:Mcmisher96/Unnamed

and

User:Mcmisher96/Khavar

They are no longer desired.


Of course! One moment! Waahlis.png Waahlis 14:26, 23 June 2014 (CEST)

Hey again! Could you delete all my Czecklish documents and categories please? I want to start over again, because I've completely overhauled my conlang, with a new name, new phonology, and new morphology. Thanks!

Table Troubles

Hi! I was busy doing some work on Czecklish, and I just added the Template:Infobox and the Template:Classmeter to my main page Czecklish. I would like to know how to put the Template:Classmeter underneath the Template:Infobox. The two of them next to each other is unsightly, and distracting.

Oh dear God, that was a pain translating! Thank you! Why yes, I might just join; I'm going to guess you haven't started yet. I have an annoying tendency to suddenly disappear nowadays, but I'll try to fight myself and participate!
