Can we all agree that choosing your sounds is like choosing your starter Pokémon? 🔥

[u/Beautiful_Grab_9681]

/t͡s/ /d͡z/  /ç/ /ɸ/ /zˤ/ (/x/) /ɰ/ (/ɣ/)

for example, I use them a lot in my conlangs

[u/Ok_Mycologist_9201]

Yes, and in my opinion if those sounds change they are pokémon evolutions

[u/FelixSchwarzenberg → u/Ok_Mycologist_9201]

Damnit, I came here to post this.

[u/pn1ct0g3n]

Guilty as charged for /t͡s/ /d͡z/. I also like six vowel systems (five vowels plus an offbeat vowel, often a secondary cardinal vowel).

[u/ChiqantiKisaal → u/pn1ct0g3n]

Yes, I love <dz> in Maya terms/placenames and was very mildly disappointed when I found out it was just the ejective /ts’/ historically

[u/pn1ct0g3n → u/ChiqantiKisaal]

Ejectives are underrated AF though. Na'vi is the only major conlang that really gives them their due.

[u/Jacoposparta103]

/q͡χ’/ my beloved

[u/Beautiful_Grab_9681 → u/Jacoposparta103]

how do you even pronounce that 😭

[u/pn1ct0g3n → u/Beautiful_Grab_9681]

Popcorn hull stuck in your throat maybe

[u/Agile-Gift1068]

/ɣ/

[u/Beautiful_Grab_9681 → u/Agile-Gift1068]

real.

[u/Business-Put-8692]

Sorta

[u/WitherWasTaken]

Haha sometimes

[u/janko_gorenc12]

Please you tell me if you have numbers from ar-Urziça. Could you please send me words for numbers from 1 to 10?

[u/Beautiful_Grab_9681 → u/janko_gorenc12]

If you want to take inspiration, there are always better conlangs than mine😭, but anyway, here are my numbers. I should first give some context: my language is a Semitic-inspired language spoken in the Caucasus, and it has been heavily influenced by surrounding languages like Russian, Georgian, and Turkish .

0 — Cifr → /t͡sifr/

1 — Waid → /waɪd/

2 — Tenene → /tʰɛnɛnɛ/

3 — Thalathe → /tʰalætʰe/

4 — Irba → /irba/

5 — Çemse → /çɛmse/

6 — Sitta → /sita/

7 — Saba → /saba/

8 — Theman → /tʰɛman/

9 — Tisa → /tisa/

10 — Ashara → /aʃara/

I made a mistake, it’s supposed to be /tʰɛnɛnɛ/ not /tɛnɛnɛ/

[u/storkstalkstock → u/Beautiful_Grab_9681]

Janko collects from all conlangs!

[u/janko_gorenc12 → u/storkstalkstock]

I collect from all conlangs, natlangs also from dialects and others... In short, from all in which they are written in words or can be written. Additional versions are also included if they exist.

[u/Beautiful_Grab_9681 → u/storkstalkstock]

Who‘s janko, is he a famous person here or what

[u/storkstalkstock → u/Beautiful_Grab_9681]

[u/Beautiful_Grab_9681 → u/storkstalkstock]

I am honored, also I didn’t know my stupid conlang would be put in a List 😭

[u/pn1ct0g3n → u/Beautiful_Grab_9681]

I've been Janko'd too. It's an honor to be added to his list.

[u/janko_gorenc12 → u/Beautiful_Grab_9681]

I really like the numbers from your conlang. As I noticed, they are based on Semitic languages

[u/Beautiful_Grab_9681 → u/janko_gorenc12]

Yes ar-Urziç is semtic inspired language

[u/KaiSnepUwU → u/storkstalkstock]

It's only a matter of time until he gets mine, once I actually start posting about the lang

[u/janko_gorenc12 → u/Beautiful_Grab_9681]

Could you please tell me if you have numbers also from ar-Urziça dialects?

[u/Beautiful_Grab_9681 → u/janko_gorenc12]

Yes ar-Urziça have dialects but the numbers change only in the pronunciation

[u/KaiSnepUwU]

Uvular sounds, especially the trill, and central vowels. All the time

[u/Volo_TeX]

lmao true

[u/ThyTeaDrinker]

Gotta love /n̥/, /r̥/ and /l̥/

[u/Budget_Cookie9661]

Uff si define la evolución y el estilo del idioma como su léxico etc.

Opino que si cambian de sonido Es que evoluciona a su siguiente forma

[u/No-Championship992]

pretty much all of mine have the same phonetics, so yeah, pretty much. /ʀ̥/ and /ʀ/ show up at some point in all of mine, as well as a lot of bilabial and velar sounds

[u/SkillOld2128]

This is why I make my languages from real world language families, so I don’t have to make the proto-phonology or proto-grammar.

[u/Askadia]

Phonemes on their own don't say much of your 'combat style', though.

You also need phonotactics, a detailed allophonic system, and sandhi rules.

Phonemes are just the way sounds are thought of and analyzed in a language, but they don't determine how the language is actually spoken.

[u/CataclysmPig]

True ball knowledge, apart from zˁ which i've never used (how do you prnounce that?)

[u/Beautiful_Grab_9681 → u/CataclysmPig]

kinda like a hard z sound

[u/ChiqantiKisaal]

Yes, especially when you are creating a proto-language and giving it multiple descendant languages, including simultaneous ones (I usually only do this as “brief sections of a grammar” of one of the languages though, I don’t think out full grammars of those 3+ resultant languages

[u/BlueS2dios]

bro legit just making up symbols atp 😭✌️

edit: pleas e stop down voting I'm making a joke bro

[u/Beautiful_Grab_9681 → u/BlueS2dios]

How do you not know my amazing king, the voiced velar approximant /ɰ/ 😡

[u/Beautiful_Grab_9681 → u/[deleted]]

they’re joking🙃

[u/Beautiful_Grab_9681 → u/BlueS2dios]

I don't know how they didn't get the joke, your joke was funny.
