Pretistelen Mega-Project

[vergil]

Finally finished this beast, one of the daughter langs of a conlang I've been working on for some time.

Thoughts? I'm mostly worried about its differences with its original language, Pretistelen (link in the doc): I'm good with sound changes, but not really with morphosyntactic changes.

I just glanced through, but it looks very well organized. I'll give some of my thoughts.

<oy> can be either /ø/ or /oy/. Is this intentional?

Some of the diphthongs are quite awkward, especially /oy/ and /ay/. But I guess some language has to have them.

Are doubled consonants geminates?

In the morphology section you could maybe explain a little more what the different things are used for. For example the intensifier, what is that really?

When doing interlinears, you could add a one more line between the first and second, where you divide the conwords into their constituent morphemes.

I think the words themselves are generally quite pretty or interesting. My favorites are ethyr and tértértolostan

German has /ɔʏ/.

Also, good stuff! I'd like to see more of it with more detail.

German has /ɔʏ/.

Oh, that's right. Ew.

Btw, do you happen to know of e.g. any YouTube clip where I can listen to people using this diphthong? Because all I ever hear is [oi].

Pretty much anyone speaking German Standard German without regionalisms will do, as will the German voice in Google Translate

Thanks for the feedback!
Yes, doubled consonants are supposed to be geminates. [ø] will probly get represented as <oý> or <oŷ> (depending on length), but on the other hand [ay], [ey], and [oy] have virtually never actually come up (at least so far), so such a change may not be necessary.

Really? Huh, that explains it then.

I like this, but wow are the verbs highly inflected - Ancient Greek but worse! Very well set out too. I wonder if the necessitive mood is ripe for merger with the subjunctive if the only difference is vowel length?
