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. :

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!"

The "practice my (language)" construction is quite interesting. It seems that you can use this in most European languages; if I'm not wrong you can use it in Mandarin too, but in Finnish it is apparently weird.
现在我想研究一下这个说法的流通。
Now I feel like investigating the distribution of this construction....
