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!the lifestroyer wrote: November 3rd, 2020, 5:08 am 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
You can read some earlier pages and look at this spreadsheet:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... id=4987920
We already have numbers. Also,this is out of this language's style.the lifestroyer wrote: November 3rd, 2020, 5:08 am OK I KNOW SOME NUMBERS

We've barely talked about numbers at all. We should also agree on a number base.BokaBB wrote: November 3rd, 2020, 7:27 am 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.

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.BokaBB wrote: November 3rd, 2020, 7:32 am I made numbers, you didn't said no to the words.

Basically the language doesn't distinguish between certain sounds like /ɐ/~/a/.BokaBB wrote: November 3rd, 2020, 7:38 am 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.

Another reason why the other a is not needed.Schiaparelliorbust wrote: November 3rd, 2020, 7:41 amBasically the language doesn't distinguish between certain sounds like /ɐ/~/a/.BokaBB wrote: November 3rd, 2020, 7:38 am I want a logii base based on some body parts or something like that.

This is a great compromise. It doesn't even matter what sound we use. Both are fine in all contexts.BokaBB wrote: November 3rd, 2020, 7:44 am Another reason why the other a is not needed.
We either must remove it or make rules.
Compromise is needed.

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.Schiaparelliorbust wrote: November 4th, 2020, 3:33 amBecause we haven't yet agreed on them.

Did you watch the video I sent earlier?BokaBB wrote: November 4th, 2020, 4:13 am 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.

Exactly. In the video I sent, they mention how Klingon uses base-10 and how lazy it is of them.Saka wrote: November 4th, 2020, 7:00 am 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?))).
SVO is the best,don't change that.Schiaparelliorbust wrote: November 4th, 2020, 7:02 amExactly.

Edit: I might change word order to SOV.
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?BokaBB wrote: November 4th, 2020, 7:23 am SVO is the best,don't change that.

I'm gonna vote for 12. I've always wondered what using 12 which is more divisible that 10 would be like.wwei23 wrote: November 4th, 2020, 8:27 am What about all the other bases? I'd like to vote for base 7.
