Sandhi
You are mentioned that it's a fusional language. Do you plan to develop sandhi? The Kaufman (talk) 11:40, March 29, 2014 (UTC)

Uh I dunno. I really have just started this language, and I don't know much about sandhi. Once I get a better sketch of the language done I'd be happy to take suggestions. AKsroa4a (talk) 16:00, March 29, 2014 (UTC)

Well, sandhi is rules for fusion of 2 words (e.g. word ending in -a could take a sandhi ending -o), etc. Rather hard to design. The Kaufman (talk) 19:09, March 29, 2014 (UTC)

Redirect
Made the redirect. The Kaufman (talk) 17:53, April 21, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, I don't know how to do it myself. xD AKsroa4a (talk) 07:51, April 22, 2014 (UTC)

Here you go. The Kaufman (talk) 13:33, April 22, 2014 (UTC)

Name
Is Mvöihłòxt the final language name?! The Kaufman (talk) 07:32, April 25, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry. D: Hopefully this will be the last time. The name has actually stayed the same the entire time, just the spelling has changed. When I revamped the consonant inventory I had to redo the orthography, then I added diphthongs, which caused me to decide to change the spelling again. AKsroa4a (talk) 13:35, April 25, 2014 (UTC)

Is braθis mvöihłòxtèź the phrase according to new orthography?

I suppose that braθ- is the speak verb root, -is is male 1st person ending, and -èź is the accusative ending. Am I right? The Kaufman (talk) 09:53, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

I'm still reworking stuff, I dunno if it's gonna stay like that, which is why it's still crossed out. AKsroa4a (talk) 15:34, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

Anglicization
Not important: I think the name should be anglicized as « Vhuyloght » ['vʌɪlɔːt] and not as « Vailoqt » ['vaɪlɔ(k)t] since [ʌ] is a back and unrounded vowel like [ɤ], only the vowel height is different. Plus, the german « ch » [x] became  the english « gh » [ ] (e.g. Nacht → night), so it will "sound" more english to write it that V4nadium (talk) 20:32, June 16, 2014 (UTC)

Well, I was thinking about it more as how an English speaker would hear it. /ʌɪ/ is not a valid diphthong in English, and I thought the Mvöihł diphthong /ɤi/ would best be heard as /aɪ/ by an English listener. And perhaps you're right about /χ/ being rendered as 'ch' in the anglicization. Vailocht?

I don't know if someone uses "ch" for /x/ except some loanwords. Maybe Vailokht would be more suitable? ''[This telegram was written by Tovarisch Isaac Kaufman (dossier). Write your insults on wall of his house] 09:22, June 17, 2014 (UTC)
