Chlouvānem: Difference between revisions

Line 286:

It should be noted that in the present day a spelling-based difference between those two letters is becoming more common: in Līlasuṃghāṇa '''å''' is increasingly often /oː/, and this is spreading in many other areas - due to mass media influence, there's not a true areal pattern; while it is spreading faster in major urban areas (e.g. in Cami, about 3500 km away from Līlasuṃghāṇa) not all of them do, including some of the closest ones (e.g. Līṭhalyinām, 450 km south of the capital).

===Notes on romanization===

The romanization here used for Chlouvānem is adapted to English conventions, with a few adjustments made to better reflect how written Chlouvānem looks on Calémere:

* Even if the Chlouvānem script uses scriptio continua and marks minor pauses (e.g. comma and semicolon) with a punctuation mark and spaces between sentences (e.g. a full stop), every word is divided when romanized, including particles. The only eẋceptions to this are compound verbs, which are written as a single word nevertheless (e.g. ''yųlakemaitiāke'' "to be about to eat" '''not''' *yųlake maitiāke). English punctuation marks are used, including a distinction between comma and semicolon.

* As the Chlouvānem script does not have lettercase, no uppercase letters are used in the romanization, except to disambiguate cases like ''lairė'' (noun: sky, air) and ''Lairė'' (female given name).
