(Apologies for the crossposting) I've been making some updates to my "Last Word in the dictionary" site (www.zolid.com/lastword) and have a few notable...
Hello, After some tinkering and playing around with my North Slavic conlang Vozgian, I've finally decided that it will have thirteen cases. First of all, there...
... which ... No, as far as I know. Each language has it own tradition. E.g. in Czech it is: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, vocative, locative,...
... True. Well, these are the "standard" cases. For Vozgian I have: nominative, genitive, dative, accustive, instrumental, locative. I decided to list the ...
"regis977" <regis977@...> ... AFAIK In European languages the traditional oder of cases is modelled on the old Latin grammars: Nom, Gen, Dat, Acc, Voc...
Hi! ... Icelandic seems to use Noc, Acc, Dat, Gen for that reason (Nom and Acc are very similar, especially concerning umlaut phenomena). **Henrik...

I have experienced that in almost all the case-flectional IE languages some grammars have N(V)GDA(AblInstLoc) while some others (newer ones?) have N(V) ...
Hi there, I add too slight, but important, features to historical grammar of Nashica, into the part of phonetical changes. 1) geminate -tt- and -dt- extinction...
... Interesting! Perhaps I could borrow this feature into Vozgian as well (after all, there must have been some sort of Proto-North-Slavic. ... So, this does...
Hello, ... Proto-North-Slavic. Hmph, we'll need to agree on the details! :) Skuodian of course doesn't miss the chance to have at least some geminates (I mean,...
... Does Skuodian appear in IB worlds? I would suggest to prepare some proto-north-slavonic substrate for IB, cos all other north slavonic languages...
... Unfortunately, no. Pavel has his own conhistory, that he believes doesn't fit in IB. A fact I can't cease to regret... ... Great idea! Because, despite all...
Hello, ... Actually, I'm thinking this might change. In the present conhistory, Skuodia is incorporated into Lithuania, but given the amount of Lithuanian...
... That's good news! ... Well, for the sake of convenience I have always supposed history of the RTC before the Partitions was similar to *here*. Mostly,...
... If you divide Serbian and Sanjaki into two languages, then you should add to this list Montenegrin, which is basically Serbosanjaki with the grammatical...
... Well, I don't really know the differences between Serbian and Sanjaki, except for the alphabet. I think I should have written "serbosanjaki" instead. ...
... than ... stage ... Ahem, IMHO, Slovakian and Slovenian are quite distant cousins... I do speak fluently Slovakian and do read quite a lot of things in ...
... In general I would say this is expected. L2 knowledge of a language, however good, tends to be more brittle than L1 knowledge in the face of closely...
... True. And by the way: Belarussian is essentially Polish spoken by a Russian suffering from a severe attack of akanie. Jan ===== "Originality is the art of...
... In my imaginations, members of four tribes moved up north: Ilmeni (60% of total), Polochani (25%), Slovieni (10%) and Krivichi (5%) and during ca 500 years...
AFAIK lack of second and third palatalization can't be called kentumization, because the latter refers to the lack of satemization,. which is a much earlier...
... Vozhega - [vo'Zega] tell me my sense for Russian, so penultimate syllable is stressed. But, Pavel might know it better :)))) And etymology is behind my...
... I asked my wife, and she doesn't know the town. Her intuition says that the ultimate syllable would be most likely, but she isn't sure. In fact, each ...
... It is not far from Vologda (the capital of the Vozgian Republic, by the way). A bit north of it, to be exact. ... Hmm, what encoding are you using? I tried...
Hello, ... Yes, I have found it, only haven't been there, that's all (nor to Vologda, in any case). ... Not me, but the stupid Outlook thingy. ... It is,...
... No, the true villain here is not the Russian language, but Peter the Great, who went too far in simplifying the spelling; instead of making Russian ...
