I just realized i accidentally made the words for to die and to exist phonetic palindromes -___________- For a moment, I thought you said you'd made them homophones. Which would be so much better. :-) Was totally gonna steal that, but it turns out one of my languages is almost there already. Panaka...

You say 'no significant regionalisms' and then admit to the most famous American regionalism! I think he means regionalisms from an American perspective, i.e. he doesn't speak in a way that clearly identifies him with a particular region within the US. The US doesn't really have dialects the way th...

And you speak which dialect? [and just for the sake of completeness, since I coincidentally included both 'walk' and 'balk' - do you deround 'talk' as well?] I guess I'd have to call it GA.

Eg, "the cat balked at walking outside on a wet morning in the wet grass without some sort of cat coat" - how do different American pronounce those 't's? (and I assume nothing happens to /d/ other than flapping?) I'm pretty sure I have [ʔ] -- possibly with some sort of reinforcement or ot...

Polish has several words with /kp/ and /gb/, all apparently related to/derived from these: kpić kpitɕ "jeer, sneer, mock" gbur ɡbur "rude, boor, yokel" And there are plenty of other fun clusters: ptak ptak "bird" kto kto "who" dbać dbatɕ "care, take care,...

No, apparently we must all write what masako wants to read. So much for the idea of participating in this thread... Vas uk et somi vada, an go kue mi, ti mut cipu mi 'na.
