Re: Pronunciations you had to unlearn

Exactly. Note that intervocalically, both fortis and lenis affricates are unaspirated voiceless, but are distinguished by preceding vowel length. (This is only for affricates; lenis stops do voice intervocalically for me.) That's interesting, I've never heard of affricates being pronounced that way...

Re: Pronunciations you had to unlearn

Likewise I pronounce it [ˈtʃɘ̃ːmnɘsʲtʲ]. With a voiceless affricate? Does that mean that you'd pronounce words like "change" and "child" with a voiceless aspirated affricate? Exactly. Note that intervocalically, both fortis and lenis affricates are unaspirated voiceless, but are...

Re: Pronunciations you had to unlearn

I find it a bit odd to use an unreduced vowel in the second syllable of a word like this; /æ/ feels weird to me the same way it would in gymnast (which I pronounce with [ɘ]). But I don't know what vowel would be considered "most correct," or if there is any one in particular. I only know ...

Perhaps we could compare notes?

I can see that the grammar hasn't changed much, which is actually quite a nice idea.
We could. I'll try to get the grammar up sometime today.

Biskainish - A Post-Apocalyptic Language

This is a conlang for a future timeline based on a post-apocalyptic America that has regressed to feudal levels of technology. Biskainish is currently spoken in the early 4th millenium, and is a descendant of Ameri...
