Got MSN or similar? The Emperor Zelos 20:49, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

Phonotactics
Dont go "K can'tbe before T" etc, it looks rather bad, you should use collective restrictions, for example english have voiced fricatives cant be before l in the begining of a word. hence vladmir is improper, zlad is too etc. Use groups rather than individual letters mostly (of course a few letters being unique/sounds is ok) The Emperor Zelos 12:50, May 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * About MSN, it doesn't work on Windows 7.


 * "Sh can't be next to S", I use it instead of "Fricative can't be next to a fricative", since I have three fricatives (S, Sh and H), but I use "S can't be next to another fricative".


 * Good example concerning voiced fricatives, but if I imply collective/grouped restrictions, I'd restrict the entire fricative (for example) group, which has three consonants, or nasal group which has two consonants, or the entire six-vowel group.Rostov-na-don 16:59, May 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * the later is still better saying "fricative next to fricative is forbidden" than "sh cant be next to s" it looks unproffesional and bad, if you write the first and give the later as an example is fine thoguh. and it is so in languages things are restricted in groups not nidividual cases
 * I've adapted your suggestion to suit my language better.Rostov-na-don 17:47, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

thats good, may I ask what you found most intersting in umbrean? and why is it your conlang have so few sounds?


 * In Umbrean, I really like your innovative (and quite amusing) noun declension, expecially your usage of cases (a strange combination, indeed). About the few sounds,the less there are, the smoother it is pronounced, and concidering Kti is a derivationally synthetic (like German), I think that 37 consonants and 8 vowels would make it a mess :| And adding stuff because it is w00tiszh r0xx0rz 1337 4wsum would make it a KSL


 * Note, I've been influenced by Hungarian, German, Russian, Serbian, Tsez and Turkish


 * What is so innovative about it? and as for cases, i picked them because i wanted grammatical cases rather than adpositional (those replacable by adpositions), i dont like few sounds because the amount of sounds needed to say unique words increases rapidly, with 8 vowels and 37 consonants in a (C)V construct you got 296 words, with 7/8 you only get 56 The Emperor Zelos 22:45, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, still you didn't take into account the initial syllable rules :) About the adpositions, I have no adpositions nor participles, mood, voices, tenses or aspects, yet the system can('t ?) function properly Rostov-na-don 22:52, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * and again whats so innovative?
 * wait if you lack that how is ANY information put fourth?
 * with so little stuff that language must be young and talked by barbarians The Emperor Zelos 23:12, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's still prone to development ;) And you don't really need tenses or some other stuff there, it's expressable via auxillary verbs, p/articles, gerunds, pre/suffixes. Rostov-na-don 00:09, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * you said you didnt have those things i assumed then that you didnt ahve ANYWAY to tell them The Emperor Zelos 07:09, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
