On my own note, what are good ways to derive /l/ (or other laterals) in a phonology that doesn't have it. I figure coronals would be a good place to start, but am not sure in what environments this would be likely to happen. * put this in there to stop bbcode hopefully it works In Hong Kong Cantone...

I don't think Salmoneus was joking. As you said yourself, the rules of Irish spelling are very systematic, so why can't you create your own phonetic spelling system? I am of course guessing here, but the reason he is asking might be because creating his own spelling would require quite a lot of tim...

What's the boundary between polysynthetic and highly agglutinative? Like, when does a language start being polysynthetic? Agglutination is a characteristic of languages that stack affixes with relatively clear-cut functions. In a prototypical agglutinative language, each affix codes for one grammat...

Torch received! No worries at all! This will probably take me a little while as well, since I have 3 exams this week.

Have you decided what language you will be using?

I’ll be following this, for sure. As for what I’d like to see next, I’m going to be predictable and ask for nominal morphology. I’m especially interested in broken plurals and whether the formation of plurals is relatively systematic according to the phonetic shape of the singular noun.

That all sounds fiercely interesting, Kiwi. I look forward to reading your post on this.

Nearly half the members of Ring 1 (including me) haven’t declared what conlangs they will be using. Could shimobaatar, loglorn, and k1234567890y let us know if they’ve decided?

By the way, I’ll most likely be using Limestone.
