Re: peto - a new minimalistic language which is a reform of

Re: Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
Thanks! I'll propably do something similar to this, but i think i'll use something else for ɬ and ɮ. :D And k for k. I don't think missionaries would like to develop orthographies that mimic that sort of unneccesary complexity of french orthography, since preferrably the natives should also be able...

Re: Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here
since i don't know very much about orthographies developed during that time. I don't think french ortography was different fromt he current one (which is quite conservative) Here's my suggestion: n = n p b t d = p b t d ke, ko = que (or qué), co ɡe go = gue (or gué), go ɸ β = maybe f and v since th...

Re: English is Freaky
Sorry, I didnt mean to flame by talking about the spelling system :-P Let's talk about something very interesting about English langauge, which is not found in other European language (and, at least for Italians, can be quite difficult to master): the deletion of the whole VP (I think is called elli...
Re: Spalna
You've put a damn lot of work into this ;] Great job. You've taken the phonology usually created by the newbies, and made it into a brilliant lang :D Wow thanks, i'm glad you like it. I usually do not like complex phonology, basically because it will make my conlang unpronounceable and it will dive...

Hallo Ich bin Italiener aber studiere Linguistik und Deutsch. Ich finde Deutsch nicht schwerich aber wie alle Fremdsprache braucht es Verpflichtung und Übung. Außerdem, obwohl kein internationale Sprache wie English ist, ist es wichtig es zu lernen weil Detuschland und andere deutschsprachige Länder...

Re: Poll: What is the best sounding natlang?
Here in London, I've been told hundreds of time how my native language (Italian) sounds amazing, which makes me proud but also annoyed when I'm talking at the phone and people are listening. Or when people ask me "say somthing in Italian" and I do not know what to say except from "ciao". I think its...

Re: English is Freaky
Yeah, I remember that :P. And it is quite weird. Also, isn't English the only Germanic language without a V2 word order? Of course you do... V2 sucks. :P No, V2 is awesome! A Topic-Comment structure through verb placement, what's not to love? I agree, I like V2, I think it's very elegant. Could Eng...

Re: Passive Voice
But in that sentence, it isn't an expletive, at least not for me. It's just a pronominal subject: it refers to a concrete object in the real the world..unlike "it rains" where it is an expletive, only there to fulfill the subject constraint. In context I think it is a dummy pronoun here. The origin...

Ok, so, I would start by talking about the Noun Phrase, which is quite easy: As I said in my first message, nouns, adjectives and determiners end in -a. Determiners precede the noun and adjectives follow it There is neither gender/class distinction (adjectives teska = male and grina = female are use...

Re: Passive Voice
There are many way to express passive voice. Just remember that syntactically the subject of a passive verbs (i.e. is the logical patient) originates from the object position. English moves it at the beginning of the sentence, since the grammatical subject must always precede the verb: the dog chase...
