Hi everyone! This update took longer than I expected, but I’m back with exciting grammar things A History of Eastern Takur Verbs, or, a Tale of Two Coverbs Eastern Takur languages such as Ottoxsh Getkerna and Tuoken have very different verbal systems than their Western counterparts (e.g. Hátu’s Mánn...

Hi all! Long-time listener, (basically) first time caller. This thread will be about a family of languages I’ve been working on since late 2017. I started working on Proto-Takur, or Project Lily, in this speedlanging challenge in 2017 , but coming on 2 years now, it’s by no means a speedlang anymore...

A little late (as per usual, I guess), but here you go: Lexember 2/3: Gizker ikábtishé /ikábtiʃé/ 'to dry up', and -ɣókábtish, -ɣókábtishé /ɣókábtiʃ, ɣókábtiʃé/ 'drought' From Proto-Takur *es, nominalizing prefix + *kóbtes 'dry', and a reduplication *kókóbtes reanalyzed as a verb, respectively Aá go...

I'm going to be joining in, hopefully for the whole month this time. I'll be jumping around within the Takur family. Lexember 1: Tuo4ken1 ce3nao3pu1 /t͡se˨na͡o˨pu˦/ 'king, absolute monarch, emperor' from Proto-Takur *déene 'one', + *opódd(é) 'man' Borrowed into Gízker as tsenaapó 'emperor' EDIT: Now...

Finally catching up on Lexember - I fiddled with the diachronics for U:ku:jéθétá: and Dékrena so now they're closer related - I'll go back and edit the last posts to show this...eventually. Lexember 3: Proto-Takur *qóthoéq, bird → Tōkretū /qo˥tʉ˩˥/ → U:ku:jéθétá: /xwétʼʷáː/ → Dékrena /hétʰea/ Lexemb...

Following the temperature theme... Proto-Takur *hénéo-, cold (adj.) → Tōkretū /anœ̂-/ → U:ku:jéθétá: /hénuː-/ → Dékrena /hené-/ Proto-Takur *hénéoéq, cold weather/incoming cold → U:ku:jéθétá: /hénuːt͡sˈá/ snow → Dékrena /héneja/ winter And some additional developments from yesterday's root Proto-Tak...

Proto-Takur *dóńéesedéq, fire
→ Tōkretū /táɲêːsèté/
→ U:ku:jéθétá: /t͡swéŋeːθet͡sá/
→ Dékrena /ˈtéɲesta/

Got around to re-translating some text into an unnamed daughterlang I've been working on, since I realized the (also unnamed) protolang it was originally in wouldn't actually have writing, so translating a letter might not actually work. In the process, I finally got to test out my crazy verb system...

Planet?

I'm a little surprised nobody's made a joke yet about how no conlanger has ever had the opportunity to transmit it...

How can I introduce long vowels into a daughter language?
