Talk:Alegna

"Aleña also makes no distinction between the simple and continuous aspects. Therefore there are no present participles in Aleña."

It's possible to have a present participle that functions as an adjective without having a progressive aspect. Standard German does this. Dialects and related languages with a progressive aspect actually tend to form it with the infinitive or a noun form of the verb, which are indistinguishable in speech (e.g. „Ich bin am arbeiten.“). So if you want an adjectival present participle, just letting you know that you can have that without worrying about introducing aspect. Joersc (talk) 02:58, June 1, 2015 (UTC)

I appreciate your concern, but I don't really want one. You will remember my name! 18:51, June 3, 2015 (UTC)

All the final -Vz looks like Proto-Germanic... Joersc (talk) 05:03, September 18, 2015 (UTC)

Oh really? Haha. That's why I said it's a romance-inspired language. This way, I can get away with more things becaue technicallly, it isn't a romance language. Smart eh?

Yes, this language looks like a mix between Spanish and Proto-Germanic. Proto-Germanic dictionary:  http://www.angelfire.com/ga3/arkan/pgmnlex.html  Also, some of the vowel combinations look a little like Old High German with the uo, except that it's not a diphthong.

The original goal was to make a germanic influenced romance lang so I guess I kinda succeeded (even though that's not the goal anymore)

"/k, g/ turn into [s, ʒ] before /i, e, j/" I don't think so. I think you mean that orthographically but not as actual allophony since you said writing an e makes them pronounced as /k, g/ again. Allophony is like aspiration in English or ich- and ach-Laut where there's nothing you can do to change it (although ich- and ach-Laut is sort of weird so maybe I shouldn't have said that as an example).
