I know this site has a lot of people who like to make synthetic languages, but isolating languages are really actually quite popular amongst conlangers overall. For example, here: http://cals.conlang.org Joersc (talk) 23:08, July 10, 2015 (UTC)

Well now I just feel embarrassed ;_____;

It's designed by speakers of Old French? I should not get my hopes up for another conlang with final obstruent devoicing. Joersc (talk) 05:12, July 14, 2015 (UTC)

Uh, it's not final devoicing. Calm down, I didn't put in a whole lot of vocabulary now did I?

Well yeah it's made by speakers of Old French. I did say that it was made in medieval Southern France, didn't I? Is that an issue?

The thing is that Old French had final obstruent devoicing. --DAH BUY000R! (wall | crimes)

Same with Occitano-Romance languages, which were vernacular in all of western France. --DAH BUY000R! (wall | crimes)

Ah, well, I'll explain later on that they wanted to be as distant from French as possible ( or at least as far as they could've imagined it could). Still not sure why Joersc is worried about devoiced obstrudents though... are they that common, or was it bad experience with those conlangs?

I don't know. Probably Joersc dislikes final obstruent devoicing or allophonical simplifications in general. --DAH BUY000R! (wall | crimes)
