Hi, I'm new here, but thought I'd run an idea I had past everybody and see what the reaction is. My idea is for a semi-automated process for choosing new...
No, we should minimize the sum of the SQUARES of the Levenshtein distances (for statistical reasons.) And not to be negative or anything, but I am pretty sure...
I suspected the responses wouldn't be too positive. Just to clarify the point about minimising the sum of the Levenshtein distances: there's no statistical...
If that's how you want to procede, it'd make an interesting experiment, and I'd like to see the results -- I'm just not sure if they would be usable -- I...
I like your idea of using an "outside" language like Spanish in the google translations (subject of course to the obvious flaws in google's translation as you...
I think you could encounter some difficulty. Take for example the German word Zeit and it's close cognate in Dutch tijd. There isn't much common between "Zeit"...
I would like to invite anyone interested to check out my site. I am looking at expanding on Nordien and making it a little more "Inter-Germanic". The address...
Do you have some sort of forum where Neunordien can be discussed? There are a few things that I find troubling. No 1. PG *ô has become a [u] sound. This I...
Thank you for checking out the site and for your comments. I understand that Nordien has issues - it was not originally created to be an "international...
The utility as an international language aside, I have issue with the "authenticness" of the language as a Germanic language since the phonemes in the words I...
Thanks again for taking time to look at the site and for your comments. I do agree about the choice of "van" for "from" and I am working to ensure that the...
Well I am probably being overly harsh about it. Sorry about that. One of things about the Internet is that whatever you put up on it tends to never truely...
From what I read "Nordien is a planned language created for the micronation Nordia, an imaginary land which would lie somewhere in northern Europe. The...
The germanic source languages have a lot of Latin originated words. Sorry to state the obvious. I've notices that in many cases, the latin word has been...
Forgot to mention my other suggestion for these words: Loose the -us, -um endings and replace them with schwas in just about every instance -even if the...
I noticed that the "Links" section seems to be really crowded with many links that have nothing to do with Folkspraak. Could an admin do some clean up?...
unfortunately the moderator for this group went insane and shot himself without passing on the moderating duty to anybody else. OK the bit about madness and...
Hei David Loosing endings like -um, -us, -a when just ONE of the sorce langs doesn't have them, wouldn't that be against the principles? Why change that for...
I like the idea of loosing the latin endings; it would pull Folkspraak more to the Germanic side of things. However, I think your point is a valid one if the...
Plurals are quite an important part of the language and I don't have too much problem with slightly modifying a small group of words to make them fit the...
Why is everyone writing "loosing the latin endings" in this thread? The correct verb is "losing": "we should lose the latin endings", where <lose> (transitive)...
Oh, that's just because English isn't my native language... ... thread? ... is. ... langs ... in ... of ... them. ... Latin. ... easier ... before ... or ... ...
Hello to everyone: I'm partially sighted, and have access to a special phone number for Yahoo! customer service. What say I call, and see what the procedure ...
Friends, I currently 'own' two groups on Yahoo that I have had passed to me because other folks were unable to commit time to them. I am willing to offer my...
I did a Google search for Jeffrey Henning, who is the owner of this group. I couldn't find a personal email, but I found that he is owner of the langmaker...
Another solution is: make a new FS group, call it for example Folksprak (with one A) and let David Parke and me be the moderators Ingmar ... the ... Friday. ...
How do we get the years worth of content and discussion transfered over? Idea... Someone could compile all of the group messages into a text or html file so...
