I'm with Zayk on this one, which is why I'm thinking of one of the larger/better supported South American languages. I think our four options really are Quechua, Aymara, Guaraní, and Mapudungun, and of those it was mentioned how difficult it was to find resources for Guaraní.

Personally, my votei s for Mapudungun, but I'm fine with whatever y'all pick.

ARE WE DOING A GROUPLEARN? (2016-06-24 11:13:13) :
Since it hasn't been mentioned here:

I suggested we restrict ourselves to a language with a decent amount of available literature. As much as we might like to fantasize that we're going to be speaking the language out loud, in practice we're really only going to be using it as a written language. So literature is more important for us than audio samples. I think we decided both Quechua and Guaraní would be OK in that regard. Mapudungun should be OK too. I don't know about Cree...

Quechua would be cool. Cree too. I need me some highly synthetic languages in my life.

Or, to suggest an option that Yaali won't like, Pali, because buddhism is good for you.

I'm down for Quechua, though if I go to Rome this fall I may not be around much. Actually, I'm probably down for most things, though my vote is cast for either Quechua or Cree.

One benefit to doing Cree is that there's an excellent three-part book course with audio that's just recently been completed- though we'd have some scanning to do. To my knowledge nothing of the sort exists for Quechua.

>> What about Mapuche?

What about Aymara?

Anyway, I'm fine either way, as long as our target language is highly regular.

Again, I'd be down - we could do Quechua, I wouldn't be opposed to that at all. Something South American would be nice. What about Mapuche?

Kansan Algonquian Scratchpad (2016-02-19 10:05:39) :
There are too many schwas in the above system, so I'm going to unshitten the diachronics a bit.

1) If you think Proto-Algonquian had [i]*we[/i] and [i]*ye[/i] sequences, they simplify to [i]*o[/i] and [i]*i[/i] as everywhere but Eastern: [i]*nekwetwi[/i] > [i]nikut[/i].

2) There is a shift of *e to *i in word-initial syllables: [i]nemene[/i] > [i]nimen[/i]

3) Short vowels are lengthened before clusters starting in *h or *ʔ, which then drop.

4) Word-final...

Kansan Algonquian Scratchpad :
hello

This is a scratchpad for an Algonquian language spoken in Kansas. As envisioned, it would have broken off fairly early, and so, although it's more conservative than the other Plains languages, it also shows some differences from the Central languages, such as distinguishing *θk from *sk.

General notes on development:

* final vowels retained

* no vowel contraction (reconstructed *we was probably *o anyways and doesn't count)

* PA *r and *n merge...

H13lang Scratchpad (2016-02-18 10:31:46) :
Jalvaan verbs encode a maximum of two participants, the subject and object being marked by a prefix and the subject, on primary verbs, with an additional suffix. Actor agreement is obligatory on all verbs: there are no verb forms unmarked for subject and object.

Agreement is somewhat complicated. In the most basic case, indexing is standard accusative:
