: I seem to have completely missed your discussion about the language here! You've actually pointed out a couple of problems I've been having with the language. Parts of its grammar show close relationship with Hittite while at the same time it shows the general agreement with other IE languages, vocabulary included. So you guys would place Harākti in a separate branch that split off sometime between the Anatolian and Italic/Celtic/Italo-Celtic splits? My idea behind the gender in Harākti was that it originally had an animate-inanimate distinction but it was influenced by a(n Italo-Celtic?) language with the three-way gender distinction because while it has gender, there's a lot of syncretism and feminine and masculine nuns are often declined the same, while neuter nouns are always declined separately, so pointing towards an earlier animate-inanimate distinction, perhaps. There's also no gender distinction between in participles (it's just masculine-feminine/animate vs. neuter/inanimate) ...

:: Yup! I'd put it somewhere between those chronologically as it shows hints of pulling towards "later common PIE" while still being pretty darn old school. Your idea for the development of gender is pretty cool, areal diffusion was probably how "PIE innovations" spread so it's highly possible that Harākti sort of picked up some gender (but not to the same extent as its younger siblings). --[[File:Admin.png|35px|link=Linguifex:Administrators]] '''[[User talk:Chrysophylax|<span style="color: #3366BB ;">Chrysophylax</span>]]''' 18:46, 11 October 2013 (CEST) | |||
I think it's suspiciously similar to the Slovene language.
