Seeing as my singing is already considered a form of torture under the Geneva convention, i try to avoid doing it in multiple languages

I know its the biggest question you had and i can answer it easily. A good way to...table your phonology is to enter it into vulgarlang and screen cap the resulting tables. Thats how i did it and you can see what it looks like in my hansenese thread

Doing away with English's non-contrastive aspiration and opting for denti-alveolar coronals would probably be helpful, particularly for the Spanish- and French-speakers. Im pretty new to this so I'm not sure what that is. Allowing some allophonic tolerance for /ɹ/ being realized as another approxim...

For those like me who can analyze consonants inventories better in IPA order Sorry, i usually put it into vulgarlang and take a screen cap of the IPA chart it generates but i posted it from my phone at work and couldn't. Comments: It looks fine, typologically unusual, but fine. I'd say the two thin...

I think i'm settling on Consonants: /b d f g h j k l m n r s t v x z ŋ ɲ ɹ ʔ ʟ/ Vowels: /a aɪ eɪ eʊ i o oɪ u ɔ ɛ ɪ ʊ ʌ/ (C)(C)V(C)(C) What do people think? What im going for is naturalistic (at least somewhat) and minimizing the number of sounds from english that people from other language backgroun...

That is because the "/e/" you refer to is in most English dialects, Inland North dialects aside, actually realized as [ɛ]. Calling it "/e/" is just some misleading notation that happens to be popular in certain circles in the UK. So you're right, and I've corrected that. And am ...

I really need to pick a phonology and stick with it, otherwise I'll never have more than just a set of sounds...that i can't finalize because I keep changing it. I think on further consideration. This is the the phonology i like and want to go with, but would like thoughts on before i say for the mi...

So in my last phonology, i had deleted /p/ and /b/ and this was my phonlogy consonant inventory /d f g h j k l m n r s t v w x z ð ŋ ɲ ɹ ʔ ʟ θ/ but I had researched why it was so rare to have a language with no /p/ or /b/ so i added it back in and i think that I am sticking with this phonology Conso...

pretty decent; i'd add a /k/ but that's just personal perference. one thing i'd like to know: can you hear the difference between /e/ and /eɪ/? So i looked at the two sounds again, and yes i can tell the difference easily. /e/ as in the english word "heck" /hek/ and "hey" /heɪ/ ...

Ok so this is the phonology i'm now thinking of going with and would like thoughts on
Consonants: /θ b d f h j l m r s t tʃ v n ɲ ɹ ʃ ʔ ʟ w/
Vowels: i ɪ ɔ u ʌ ʊ o a e plus oɪ , aɪ , eʊ , eɪ

so here's my new phonology. I had decided on it, put it into vulgarlang and generated a bunch of sample languages, saved them and emailed them to myself and looked at it again and went..."crap, i took out /g/ but forgot to remove /ŋ/. but now here's the new consonant inventory, but same syllabl...

Yeah, that sounds pretty reasonable. What I really meant is that so far it looks like a good start and that there'd probably more to comment on later on :) I hope so too lol and hopefully won't get distracted from creating the conlang As for the other features, by all means, do what feels right. Wh...

Curious: what do non-pas & non-future do that present does not? Some examples might be helpful! So they are saying something that is but either wasn't before, or is but won't be. So like the example I used above, someone asking if someone was doing something, and hadn't been doing it before, th...

A few other features i was considering but forgot to mention: forming conjunctions like latin does as Mark mentions in LCK possibly taking a page out of ancient greek's book and not having punctuation the same way we do in english (haven't studied ancient greek, but i know my pastor has talked about...

Did you forget /m/ or did you intentionally leave it out? i did intentionally leave it out, I was going through what I was thinking the language would sound like in my head and what sounds werent appearing, m, the non ipa but english letter sounding j, and v was missing from it so those were the on...

Got any consonant clusters planned out yet? This sounds fairly close to English so far (esp. the vowels), but it could also end up quite far apart if you allowed syllables like /nmɪ/ or /ltsuʔv/. Again, I'm pretty set on those vowels to be honest but willing to change the the consonant inventory mo...

You seem unsure of what to call your eternal tense. Maybe it's like what's sometimes called the gnomic aspect, used in same languages to state (purported) timeless truths? (Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnomic_aspect .) I was unsure of whether I'd include it in my conlang. yes that sound...

Unfortunately, it's too early to tell :) And i now realized what i am looking for is an evaluatiion of the ideas i have for the languages syntax and what do people think of the set of phonemes. So I do realize it, but like i am with fiction writing I am an extreme planner and like to do regular eva...

I am working on my own personal artlang/stealthlang and wanted to get others' reactions and suggestions. It's mostly just for the fun of it, and do i really care if someone can pick up how to speak/write it easily? no. There's no associated conworld or culture other than my own and it's not supposed...

So i am abandoning this train of thought for a new personal artlang/stealthlang; 70% artlang and 30% stealthlang...aka yeah it's to give myself some privacy to write down my thoughts, but mostly it's just for fun and i don't really care and would probably think it cool if someone took the time to le...
