Talk:Nativian

Yay, "Byzantine Latin". --DAH BUY000R! (wall | crimes)

This doesn't com across as particularly naturalistic, and the Greek writing seems sort of unnecessary. I like how this language is totally the opposite of the general conlanger "grammatical gender is sexist" attitude and conjugates verbs for gender though. Although, I think the neuter ones would be used for people, especially if it does what a lot of languages do and makes children neuter. The neuter one could even turn into a T-V distinction, if it's associated with groups as it seems to be. Joersc (talk) 01:29, September 12, 2015 (UTC)

Why a modified greek alphabet was chosen is that it is desirable to make the distinction between [e] and [ε], [o] and [ɔ], [u] and [y], [k] and [q], etc... without using accents, which are reserved to the quality of the sound, not the sound itself. I recall the Nativian writing system is phonetic, non redundant, and unambiguous.Flos57 (talk) 18:22, September 12, 2015 (UTC)
