Newtlang incubator (NP: entlang) (2015-02-04 14:43:42) :
[u]Synopsis:[/u] Let's start off with a few more notes on grammar and then move on to the druidic descendant.
Adjectives and adverbs are usually prepositive, it seems. Verbs (participles, in effect, although that probably means I'm thinking about this wrong) taking an object follow said object, so [b]mairellëonda ntumbendantur banneanhemmuean[/b] "X Y-ing Z"[plus]can't for the life of me think of a good example[/plus]. Oh, and the verb can be passivized, like any verb, with [b]near[/b]....

<dhok> y'all recall that I was planning on spending a a year in Russia and then one in Portugal
<dhok> well that leaves a summer in which I have nothing to do but don't want to spend money coming back to the states

New Project: The Stockpile :
As many of you are aware, the US State Department created a number of language courses for its diplomats and spies during the cold war, including courses in obscure but strategic languages for which few resources exist. For quite a while, the esteemed [url=http://www.fsi-language-courses.org/]FSI Language Courses[/url] site was a repository for many of these courses, but if you click on the link, you'll notice it's been taken over by a domain squatter. Attempts to contact the site owner have met...

Lies, Damned Lies and Phonological Statistics. (2015-02-03 01:19:56) :
Now, here's a prelim data of the consonants. First the PoA (taken from UPSID, I'll try to find out how phoible consonant classification work.)
bilabial: 99,7
labiodental: 45
dental: 35
alveolar: 63,6
postalveolar: 64,3
retroflex: 20,1
palatal: 89,8
velar: 99,5
uvular: 18,6
pharyngeal: 4,2
glottal: 74,7
Of course it's not universal accross MoA. For example, on further query, labiodental values are almost one of /f v/
UPSID has kin...

Lies, Damned Lies and Phonological Statistics. :
So I dicked around with Phoible data and decided to do some queries to find out some statistic about phonemes. Percentage means the percentage of language in the database (1673 un total) with that features.
First, vowel point of articulation. As expected, front and central vowels are prototypically unrounded and back vowels are protptypically rounded:
back rounded: 99,3%
front unrounded: 99,7%
central unrounded: 96,6%
And less common contra-roundedness are:

Note that Páho rotates opposite of Earth. It's also bigger, though I'm not sure by how much, still. I'm thinking a radius of 8000 to 9000km, so about one and a half times that of Earth.[/quote]
Why is there only one circulation direction for the ocean currents in each hemisphere (clockwise in the south and counterclockwise in the north)? If it’s larger than Earth, the plane...
