Telmona: Tǝɣra pretty scripty? Plus a longer text. (2014-08-04 22:08:42) :
Here's a sample text demonstrating the [b]nduo-cɔr[/b], the writing system used for Tǝɣra. The text is quite interesting linguistically, and the script is a fuckup (no, it's not a straightforward abugida)- but translating this has taken me long enough that I just want it off my screen before I start any commentary.

Telmona: Tǝɣra pretty scripty? Plus a longer text. :
So... recently I've been dicking around with this largely isolating language called Tǝɣrâ, which is spoken on Telmona by an ethnic group by the name of Tǝɣor (and their conquests). I'm pretty pleased with the argument structure. So here it is.
[h2]Person marking and word order in Tǝɣrâ[/h2]
Stated baldly, the underlying morphosyntactic alignment of Tǝɣrâ is deceptively simple: ergative-absolutive marking with EAV word order. A number of factors, however, conspire to make the su...

Telmona: Tǝɣrâ person marking and word order (V2! Direct-inverse! Isolating!) (2014-08-04 22:03:04) :
Cheers guys.
Embarrassingly, I forgot I forgot to answer this. Simply put, the direct-inverse alignment with erg-abs marking I'm making use of is a vague riff of what happens in the rGyalrong languages, influenced by marking structures my source language (which I'd prefer to remain a bit cagey about at the moment, for sheer perversity.) I don't have a rationale [i]per se[/i] beyond "a natlang's done something pretty damn similar!"

AAAAHHHH (2014-07-20 22:44:22) :
I have. I've had four PMs from him over four days with increasingly frantic subject lines asking for numbers in a throwaway sketchlang. When I finally replied and told him to sod off, he replied apologising and then asking for the numbers [i]in a completely different conlang.[/i]
