Sound Changes Game

[Ear of the Sphinx]

what about playing with sound changes? that a user will posting previous word with done one or two phonetic changes.

Code: Select all

Example
User 1: conlanger -> konlangè
User 2: konlangè -> kǫlǫgi
User 3: kǫlǫgi -> kuluži

first turn:
aveneca -> āvneka

[Micamo]

Shouldn't we do this in X-SAMPA/IPA for clarity's sake?

ˈaːvnəˌka -> avˈnɛɪgaː

(Switched stress paradigim from initial to penultimate, and expanded/reduced vowels accordingly. Also lenited k->g.)

Also, how long should we go on with the changes until we start over with a new word?

[MrKrov]

avˈnaɪgɑː -> avˈnaːgɑ

[Micamo]

Clever.

avˈnaːgɑ -> aˈɱaːɣɑ

[Ear of the Sphinx]

[sangi39]

həˈmaːjɔ

ɱ>m
ɣ>j
Introduction of initial /h/ before vowels.

[Micamo]

həˈmaːjɔ -> ˈm̥aːjœ

Dropping the weak sounds h and ə, and making /m/ voiceless as it's now at the beginning of the word. Also brought back vowels to the front after j.

[Ossicone]

həˈmaːjɔ -> ˈm̥aːjœ

Dropping the weak sounds h and ə, and making /m/ voiceless as it's now at the beginning of the word. Also brought back vowels to the front after j.

ˈm̥aːjœ --> 'ma:ʤə

[sangi39]

ˈm̥a:ʤə --> 'meaʤ

Diphthongisation of long vowels in open and/or stressed syllables with the loss of final unstressed vowels.

[MrKrov]

'mea -> 'meʔa

[Micamo]

ˈm̥a:ʤə --> 'meaʤ

ˈmeaʤ -> meˈʝa

Shifting stress to final, and breaking up diphthongs in CVC syllables to form a CVCV di-syllabic morpheme. (We're starting to run out of room!) Also lenited ʤ to ʝ, increasing its "palatal degree" after a front vowel.

[Ear of the Sphinx]

meˈʝa -> məˈʑah

[Micamo]

meˈʝa -> məˈʑah

məˈʑah -> ˈnzah (Supposed to be a prenasalized fricative here, how do I get that superscript n? It's not in my character map.)

[Ossicone]

məˈʑah -> ˈnzah (Supposed to be a prenasalized fricative here, how do I get that superscript n? It's not in my character map.)

ˈnzah --> n'zax

[Micamo]

ˈnzax -> ˈnzaɣə

[Ear of the Sphinx]

məˈʑah -> ˈnzah (Supposed to be a prenasalized fricative here, how do I get that superscript n? It's not in my character map.)

ˈⁿzah -> ˈⁿzaɣə -> ˈð̃aɦə

[Micamo]

Thank you! But, is that supposed to be a nasalized dental fricative? o.o

ˈð̃aɦə -> ð̞aə

[Ear of the Sphinx]

Thank you! But, is that supposed to be a nasalized dental fricative? o.o

ˈð̃aɦə -> ð̞aə

yep.

ð̞aə -> 'ɹɑʔə

[Micamo]

ˈɹɑʔə -> ɾæˈɦeː

And... that's all folks! Next word: [alˈdu:noˌvaɹ] (Who said they had to be English words?)
