Probably simple Latin, maybe a superset of it, depending on what sounds we need. Do you want another alphabet?

Personally, neutral but slightly towards simple Latin. What do you think? Can you translate the Komal - dag belsan also?Schiaparelliorbust wrote: ↑November 12th, 2020, 8:16 amProbably simple Latin, maybe a superset of it, depending on what sounds we need. Do you want another alphabet?

Re: Let's create a good language!
I can easily switch keyboards to type ç, ğ, ı, ö, ü, and ş, so I don't really have a problem with any of those characters, but others might. If we consider a superset, we should first ask others.
I could try, but It might take me a while.

Re: Let's create a good language!
Having consonants that are not part of regular series would make sandhi stuff more awkward.Schiaparelliorbust wrote: ↑November 12th, 2020, 7:04 amI mean, how would adding /b/ cause this? Would we need to have a voiced counterpart for all consonants?

I have a keyboard that can type hatted letters, like ĉ, ĝ, ĵ, and ŝ.

I can do ŵêŷûîôâŝĝĥĵẑĉn̂m̂ and a bunch of other stuff. I don't think we should use accented characters though.

Re: Let's create a good language!
Yep, simple latin is fine.
Phonotactics:
consonant clusters no longer than three?
/h/ only at onset?

Re: Let's create a good language!
If by that you mean /ptck/ <ptck> /fsçx/ <fshx> /mnlwj/ <mnlwj> /ŋ/ <ng> (when not followed by /k/) <n> (otherwise) /aeiou/ <aeiou> then probablyHunting wrote: ↑November 12th, 2020, 8:41 pmSo do we settle on simple Latin?fluffykitty wrote: ↑November 12th, 2020, 5:51 pmI don't think we should use accented characters though.
*hath. Also, I propose any single consonant or /pf/ /ts/ /cç/ /kx/ in onsets and codas, (stop or fricative)+/l/ or (fricative or nasal)+/w/ in onsets only, and nasal+homorganic stop in codas only. A syllable ending with an affricate cannot be followed by a stop or fricative, and nasals followed by stops assimilate. [ɲ] exists as a phone, but only when followed by /c/ and in that case it doesn't contrast with other nasals.
Re: Let's create a good language!
I'd like to forbid all consonant clusters at once. So we only have CVCVCVCVCVCVC stuff.Entity Valkyrie 2 wrote: ↑November 12th, 2020, 9:16 pmYep, simple latin is fine.

That doesn't sound very interesting to me.

Re: Let's create a good language!
I think a maximal cluster in my proposal would be /amptle/. Also, I would add coda nasal+homorganic fricative (bringing the max cluster to /antsŋwi/ and friends), and remove coda /wj/ since we already have diphthongs for those.

Re: Let's create a good language!
What do you mean by "concat"? If you mean "consonant cluster", then any valid coda cluster followed by any valid onset cluster, except /pf/ and friends followed by a stop or a nasal followed by a non-matching stop. Here's a complete list, if you're curious:

If you mean "consonant cluster", then any valid coda cluster followed by any valid onset cluster, except /pf/ and friends followed by a stop or a nasal followed by a non-matching stop. Here's a complete list, if you're curious:Code: Select all

Re: Let's create a good language!
I'm still not sure what that's supposed to mean in that context.
Anyway, reposting the complete description of the current phonology/phonotactics/orthography (AFAICT):
Sounds are /aeiouy/ /ptck/ /fsçx/ /mnŋ/ /lwj/. Legal diphthongs are /ai/ /ei/ /oi/ /au/ /eu/.
/ŋ/ is written as <ng> when not followed by /k/ and <n> otherwise. /ç/ is written with <h>, and everything else is written with its IPA character.
Syllable onsets can be:
- Any single consonant
- Any affricate
- Stop or fricative followed by /l/
- Fricative or nasal followed by /w/
- Any single consonant other than /w/ or /j/
- Nasal followed by matching stop or fricative (this can produce [ɲ] but only non-contrastively)
- Affricates cannot be followed by stops
- Nasals followed by stops must match the stop ([ɲ] appears again)
Does everyone support this? Other possible ideas are allowing (potentially non-matching) fricative+stop clusters in the coda as well, and permitting /l/ as a syllable nucleus.

What do you mean by matching stop and non-contrastively? I don't see anything called stop on the Wikipedia pulmonic consonant chart.fluffykitty wrote: ↑November 13th, 2020, 5:21 pmAnyway, reposting the complete description of the current phonology/phonotactics/orthography (AFAICT):

Also, are we sure we aren't going to have any rhotics? I'm not insisting on them or anything, just making sure. Also, should we have /ʃ/, /t̠ʃ/, /ʒ/, or /d̠ʒ/?

By inter-syllable cluster I mean a cluster involving a coda and an onset (eg "a*nt*i"), and I didn't include a rhotic in my proposal because there's a lot of them and I didn't want to choose. I don't think a constrastive postalveolar stop would be a good idea, but /ʃ/ should work. The only problems with that are that it might mess up the sandhi system (although that might already have problems with the lack of phonemic /ɲ/) and that we don't have a Latin letter for it (<q> is free, but that would probably look really weird).Schiaparelliorbust wrote: ↑November 14th, 2020, 4:25 amWhat do you mean by inter-syllable cluster?
