Hi all, I was musing around over creating some alternative Germanic words/names for the moon, and thought about taking PIE (s)kand- ("shine, illuminate, glow")...
Hi! Sorry for the crosspost and/or any duplicates you receive. I did not dare to send this to all the specialised conlang lists. Or should I? Anyway: since...

Does the Second Germanic Soundshift pre- or post-date the fronting of vowels under the influence of -i-?...
On Behalf Of habarakhe4 "Does the Second Germanic Soundshift pre- or post-date the fronting of vowels under the influence of -i-?" I'd say SS2 pre-dated the...
... The second sound shift definitely predates *phonemic* i-umlaut, as can be seen from Langobardic and Old High German, but whether it predates *phonetic*...
Hi! I'm currently gathering data for my new long-term project S17, which will be Latin with Icelandic sound changes. The conhistory will probably start around...

Hi! I just stumbled over another phenomenon in Old Norse (ON) that I don't fully understand. I read about the rule that in early Proto-Norse (PN), after light ...

Here's a basic dialogue in Capraian. For those without incredibly long memories, this is my Mediterranean Germanic conlang project. It's Germanic, but it's not...
I thought the point of Folksprak was to make a simple Inter-Germanic language. I just took a look at the Folksprak PDF uploaded last month and it seems to be...
Hi, thanks for your comments. First off let me state that there is no "official" version of Folksprak yet, and that grammar is my own creation (albeit with...
I've been just observing for a while, because I like a posteriori conlangs. I've creating a Romantic conlang, but lately, I've been itching to try to make a...
... Welcome! ... That's true. But, if you really want to go for a historically plausible romlang, you should base it on Vulgar instead of Classical Latin. And...
... Indeed. My first association was Occitan, but we're clearly in the same region. In a way, it looks Romance as well as Germanic. A wonderful language,...
Looks Fascinating. Is "cytz" from PG *haitan. If so, how is the "c" pronounced? The word for beer, "olyty" appears to be cognate with English "ale" and Scandy...
... Thanks, Jan, for your comments! Capraian doesn't look very Germanic at all, I realise, but then the orthography was worked out by Corsican monks (or ...
... Looks Fascinating. Is "cytz" from PG *haitan. If so, how is the "c" pronounced? << Yes, that's where it's from. PG /h/ > OCap /k/, which before front...
Hi! Þrjótran (< Frigoterrana) is the name of my new Vulgar Latin based romlang with Icelandic flavour. The initial web pages contain mainly the first version...

... I like the f > þ change, but shouldn't you have p > f (e.g. in PORTA) as well? NB /p/ was *very rare* in Germanic due to the rarity of *b in PIE. In fact...
... I haven't got a chance to look at it right now, but I'm sure I'll be very interested once I can! ... Scandinavians don't have lax vowels as allophones of...
... Wow, this is what one would call: an Umlaut system from hell! ;) Congratulations! I know nothing at all about Icelandic, but I like the overall look of...
... It differs between lects, but mostly not, apart from [@] as unstressed allophone of /e/ in Danish and some Norwegian. Lax vowels do occur for short vowels...
Hi! ... I thought about it but currently decided against it, since I wanted a minimal amount of constructed sound changes. The few I have are mainly for...

Hi! ... And scaringly, the tables do look like Icelandic at first sight... (At least to me.) BTW, a-umlaut is not implemented yet. But it's quite rare,...

... As a quick aside, this makes sense to me. Latin /p/ survived in historical loans, so, /yes/ a Germanicized Romance seems likely to keep /p/, too. Cheers, ...
... I misspoke there, I meant "lax vowels as allophones of short ones", or alternatively, "So Scandinavians don't have [I] as the pronunciation of (short) /i/,...
