Talk:Borchennymendi

You have quite a number of di-, tri-, quadri-, etc-graphs. I really like this. What was the inspiration for this? It has a sort of Gaelic feel to me. --TheWrittenWord (talk) 14:00, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

The inspiration for the digraphs has not been Gaelic. A long written text - they gradually will appear alongside with the translation of the grammar chapters from Dutch into English - will show this. Due to the average word length Borchennymendi has an entirely diffent 'look'. The consonant digraphs are totally functional because they modify the single consonants according to certain rules. A similar thing is done by the vowel digraphs. It will be explained in the phonotactics section. Borchennymendi and Gaelic (and English!) have only their poor correspondence of letter to sound in common. This is the reason why I have added two examples of the pronunciation in this early phase of work. 178.84.82.162 19:30, September 21, 2012 (UTC)
