[Moosey]

Moderators,it may be Schaparelio's joke,I don't know.
You said you are Moosey in Word Chains.
Elkeo beo rigeu!

BokaBB

No I didn't mean I was Moosey I meant Moosey was there.

Alack! I have a wick'd sense of humor

[Moosey]

anyway how's progresse

[the lifestroyer]

OK I KNOW SOME NUMBERS
1: eono(in Indo-European languages most have the sound e,o,n,u)
2 derando(in Indo-European languages most have the sound 'd ')
3 traeids(in Indo-European languages most start with the sound 't as in traffic' and end with 'ss')
4 cuequo {pronunced Qu-e-CO} (in Indo-European languages most have the sound 'qu in quilt')
5 cincrinc ((in Indo-European languages most have the sound "si")
ill just do 5 for now but i got a lot more
waiting for approval

We haven't gotten to vocabulary at all yet. We aren't even sure about what number base we are going to use. Our language isn't supposed to be based on any other language(s) anyway, though thanks for coming here!

ok what can i contribute on?
(im bilingual)

You can read some earlier pages and look at this spreadsheet:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... id=4987920
What other language do you speak?

[the lifestroyer]

We already have numbers. Also,this is out of this language's style.
But welcome here!I hope you will have better luck at making something else. Just make it sound like this language.

We've barely talked about numbers at all. We should also agree on a number base.

I would really like our language not to be base-10. We could keep the ones you made and add more to make it base-12 or something. Also, are you okay with allophones? I accepted them in the spreadsheet.

I want a logii base based on some body parts or something like that.
Are allophones things that sound the same or what?I forgot.

Basically the language doesn't distinguish between certain sounds like /ɐ/~/a/.

Another reason why the other a is not needed.
We either must remove it or make rules.
Compromise is needed.

This is a great compromise. It doesn't even matter what sound we use. Both are fine in all contexts.

[the lifestroyer]

umm i didnt see a number in the spreadsheet

[Schiaparelliorbust]

umm i didnt see a number in the spreadsheet

Because we haven't yet agreed on them. Only one person made numbers without really anyone else stating their agreement.

On the other hand,it is going to be a lot difficult to uses bases other than,10 and 20. They are all logical and related to the fingers,with which people counted in the past.
Let's vote for the base,5,10 and 20 are legal. Only thise who commented before this have the right to vote.
I vote for 10.
Elkeo beo rigeu!

Did you watch the video I sent earlier?

I also propose base 6 and base 12, which are also suited for counting on your hands (assuming you have 5 fingers on each hand). I sorta wanna avoid base 10 in fear of the language being too English-y (We already have SVO word order (ok i guess the phonology is a bit different but I dont wanna make it look like an english relex (unless that's what we want?))).

Exactly. In the video I sent, they mention how Klingon uses base-10 and how lazy it is of them.
Edit: I might change word order to SOV.

SVO is the best,don't change that.

I'm okay with SVO as long as we don't have other Englishy/Indo-European stuff. You still want base-10, right? Also, could you look at your fancy CA threads?

[wwei23]

What about all the other bases? I'd like to vote for base 7.

[Schiaparelliorbust]

I'm gonna vote for 12. I've always wondered what using 12 which is more divisible that 10 would be like.
