Re: Board Game 1 (Game)

The rules seem kinda vague. Rule 1 seems to imply that pieces cannot move vertically at all, but that would make the game boring. I'm assuming pieces can move any amount horizonally, one space forward, or one space backward. What exactly does "touches a rock" mean? The death-by-rock rule seems to be...

Re: Let's create a language with few phonemes!

I agree with most things. Would stress change our phonotactics in any way? I don't think so. Don't forget to make new words. <miki> "belong", <mikii> "of (possessive)" <mikim> "mine/yours/'s/etc (based on following noun)", <kimk> "grow", <kimkm> "plant (noun)". For example, <kimkm mikii mki kimk> "...

Re: Let's create a language with few phonemes!

Okay, m will be a particle. Okay. I am not entirely certain how good are syllabary - making options in Fontstruct,but we may use letters to symbolize them instead. I think they should fairly similar to our alphabets but with less curves. Maybe. K (Or k if we decide to use uppercase and the lowercas...

Re: Let's create a language with few phonemes!

Okay. We would need some diacritics then, however (Or not?). The language's phonology is simple enough that we could also use alternate characters for stressed nuclei (eg í->e, ḿ->n or something like that), or just use uppercase letters. Let's make our number system. I want it to be base - 5, minus...

Re: Let's create a language with few phonemes!

Maybe we can say 1 (proposal:mi) ki as I and many (proposal:mkik or kmik) ki as we? <mi> "one" and <kmik> "many" sound good. Please tell me more about stress. Stress is when you emphasize a particular syllable of a word, like in emphásize or partícular. If we use it in this language, then we can ha...

Re: Let's create a language with few phonemes!

A pitch accent would have more possibilities for distinguishing words, but I'm not sure if there's a nice way to write stuff like that without diacritics. We could use something like <m(-)> for negation, since that's a pretty common thing. Also, we'll need pronouns at some point. I think that we sho...

Re: Let's create a language with few phonemes!

How about <ik> "go", <-m> "-er", and <ikm> "person"? Also, another way we can distinguish words and stuff is stress. What do you think of that?

Please only quote the parts of posts you're responding to. Also, we should start working on other parts of the language.

Re: Let's create a language with few phonemes!

I saw you allowed doublings but not at the very beginning. I am not sure why I kept that. Initial geminates are difficult to hear AFAIK. We won't add anymore,we may possibly have tones if we wish so,that is what I said. I still think /s/ and another vowel would be a good idea. Are hard /m/ -s and /...

Re: Let's create a language with few phonemes!

Nice.Long i (ii) and hard m and k (mm and kk) should definitely exist I think. That would allow syllables like kkiimmkk to exist. My proposal already allows for doublings. I think that we should remain simple and any phonetic changes should result in already existing sounds I think. If allophonic c...

Re: Let's create a language with few phonemes!

Here's my proposal: Phonemes: /m/ /k/ /i/ Phonotactics: Onset can be empty (word-initally), /m/, or /k/ Nucleus can be /m/ or /i/ Coda can be empty, /m/, /k/, or /mk/ If the nucleus is /m/, then /m/ cannot occur in the onset or coda. Any clusters between syllables produced by the above rules are leg...

Re: Let's create a language with few phonemes!

If your language doesn't have very many phonemes, then it's possible to write entire syllables with single characters (like in Chinese except not a nightmare to learn)
