Hei Joe Easy to read, and a nice little story I see you use "des" in the sense of "their",does that mean "his" and "her" as well? Both "alredig" and "schon"?...

"Full"? "Foll"? "kurt"? "kort"? It's a bit debatable either way. I don't think "smal" should be used in exactly the same sense as English "small". I think FS...
Yeah, Dutch smal is thin/narrow as well, but that's with a short A just like English... Scandy små means small as in English but has a long vowel like German...
BTW, when I evaluate Dutch vowels for whether they are long or short, I try to check for derived forms (such as plurals of nouns, comparitives of adjectives),...
Hi David, It is not "daagje" in Dutch, but "dagje" with short A, from "dag". But: its plural is "daagjes", from "dagen" with long A (which is spelt AA in close...
Forgot "dagelijk" with long a also. Probably in Old Low Franconian, there were geminating consonants. The old short vowels stayed short in the presence of the...
Yes, Old Low Franconian, one of the ancestors of Dutch, had geminates like all the other old Germanic languages. I meant by "closed syllable" that a syllable...
Not? So what are the pronunciations of A in British "water", [Q:], [O:] [a:], [}:]? But Standard it is short [O], isn't it, as in RP ["wOt@], Cockney ["wO'@],...
In my English -- which has more in common with British recieved prono than American English -- the vowel is definitely long as in ["wO:t@]. It's same vowel...
For me the vowels of Small and Water are short when I think of them. Okay, not as short as a short vowel in Dutch smal or bal, but something like mid-short...
That's the difference between a phoneme and an allophone. The vowel in those words may well in practice be shorter than the vowel in "raw" or "broad". But it...
Mmmmh... why not allophones of [O], instead of of [O:]? I'd expect the short vowel to be the basic one, or is that different in English? And the A in "what",...
And the vowel in "what" is different to the vowel in "that" for some unknown reason and this is no doubt frustrating for english learners. It's quite common in...
What and That having a different vowel is not so difficult, for foreign lerarners the main rule about English spelling rules is that there are no logical...
I think most languages have their own "hard" sounds, that is: difficult for foreigners. For Folksprak, I like to keep the phonology as simple as possible, ...
... I have been learning French recently, and I can't for the life of me distinguish between [2] and [9]. In French there is no vowel length distinction so...

I`m an Esperantist, and my interest in conlangs landed me here. This is all very fun. I`ve looked over some of the postings. I have much to say, but will hold...
Where are you located Victor? Your dialect sounds interesting. I remember seeing in the excellent BBC documentary "The Story of English", an island off the...
Maybe we have to build a "FS library" or resource library. I propose the following: I will create a big yyyy-mm-dd_FS-lib.zip file wich contains stories,...
