Loanwords (2014-11-09 03:24:23) :
Additionally remember that in an expansionist and/or colonial empire loanwords are likely to sneak in from the territories. Languages also seem to have their own character in how easily they accept loanwords, from Mandarin's [2% loanwords] "native compounds can describe the concept better than your barbarian original" to English's [75%] "give us all your vocabulary in used notes and don't even think about pressing that alarm"[plus]Yes, these characters tend to stem in a large part from ide...

Colour terms yay!
2L divides colours by lustre as well as hue. This has turned out to be a Terrible Idea[sup]TM[/sup], because it makes it difficult to express the differences on a computer screen :P
Like every other damn thing in 2L, there are sixteen root colour terms (under the hyponym [b]hvr̄jt[/b] "[to possess] colour"). Colour is the Metamorphosis/Anthesis section of vocabulary. They are properties (Metamorphosis section of the vocabulary) and therefore ...

Kinship Systems and Terminology in your Con-stuff (2014-11-04 12:28:26) :
[quote kodé][quote Anguipes]Blood Kinship: maternal uncles are "mother's maternal siblings", there is no term for their children. There are no terms for paternal aunts or their children. [/quote]
Just curious: are paternal aunts and their children taboo relatives, where you're not allowed to talk to them? Or is there just no specific term for them?[/quote]
There's no specific root term, and they're not blood relatives by celestial law. Which makes it a good idea to talk to th...

Kinship Systems and Terminology in your Con-stuff :
Wherein I ramble about the kinship terms I've been working and ask for feedback, and you can do the same!
Please to be telling me what you think of the following. I have not really handled kinship much before and I don't know WTF I am doing.
The Second Language (2L) has two separate kinship systems running in parallel. The first system is "official" kinship ([b]hv̄k[/b] /huk/), that is, formal and legally recognized by the celestial court. The second, con...

Pthag told us one of the stories of his people on IRC. I thought it would make a good translation challenge.
let me tell you a story
i uploaded quirk to my kindle
and opened it
full of joy allah had put in my heart
but then i saw a shaitan had come
and turned the pagination away from how the prophet isa (pbuh)
meaning the pages were tiny
i wept that day
why o lord have you made these pages so small
what sin have i committed

What's your production process? You mention 3D printing in passing, but it's not clear.

Edit: Well shit, I've found a proper version of the raws. Now I've got to do this all over again. Does the LNP fuck with the languages or something?

...if all these onset-less words were due to consonant loss[/quote]
On both of these points you're viewing what's been written a little too extreme and black-and-white, I think. I suggest chain-shift as a [i]possibility[/i], and no one has claimed that [i]all[/i] cases of word-initial vowels are down to consonant loss, just that that it could be a contribution to the skew.
