I read in a song book, that the song is based on an old spanish song, which was written in random latin looking syllables and later changed into that language....
Greetings! It is apparently not a language, but a kind of "'invented' musical language". One supposes created with the intention of giving words and atmosphere...
... I personally think the Proto-italian languages were a lot more advanced along in morphology, sounds, lexicon and the like than most people imagine. This...
I found that text some weeks ago. It is in a mixed language of Spanish and Latin. I don't know, if it is regular enough for a real language, but I am able to...
Good afternoon, I learnt that the word for vinegar in many germanic languages, as Swedish, Dutch or German comes from the dialectal latin word *atêcum instead...
Sorry for cross posting, but believe there are enough people no on (or at least not active on) bot Coanlang and the Ramolang iteration that it warrants the...
Hi Adam! You may have already seen the etymology for this, but Italian rondone and it's more obvious kin are apparently cognate to French hirondelle, likewise...
It helps greatly! I now have two options. The first is lirundricu derived from the Latin with a diminuative suffix and transfer of the l from the definite...
Do the constructed romlangs have less latin loans than the natural ones? If I make words I usually start from latin or a natural romance language and develop...
I read about 'gn' was pronounced in classical Latin in the beginnings of words like 'n'. That is how I pronounce it but I think there should be some variation....
I haven't done much of this yet, but that is mainly because I haven't gotten to the right time period yet. Once the Rennaisance hits, I'll start borrowing...
To Adam: Did you already make some stages of your language for different times? I am trying to make different registers, but only for one time, about one...
My history exists upto ~1300. I have my first layer of "North African" Vulgar Latin which includes known peculiarities of NAVL and those I made up. In this...
Gn- was itself Greek, was it not? ... From: romconlang@yahoogroups.com [mailto:romconlang@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of BPJ Sent: 22 February 2012 19:53 To:...
No, although most words which had it dropped the _g_ already in classical times. There are _gnarus, gnatus, gnavus_ sometimes so spelled, and _gnosco, gnotus_ ...
... Rhodrese definitely has, simply because it's more fun to derive/develop the 'inherited' forms! When I get time to go through my vocabulary I should take...
... I'm not Adam, but I think this is a thing worth discussing: what the (dis)advantages are or would be of working linearly Latin --\> Modern (or Modern --\> ...
Thinking again about unresolved issues in Rhodrese I thought I'll ask you all for opinions about the spelling of /tS/. Since the beginning (in extrafictional...
Choices don't have to be logical, or even convenient! Think of Catalan: "ny" from Occitan (?) but "ll" from Spanish, thereby lumbering themselves with "l·l"....
Working on different stages at the same time could also help to imitate irregularities seen in natlangs text from different times. If one works out the stages...
I don't really have an answer for you, Bindipu (that's your Carraxan name!), but I agree with David that natlang choices are not always consistant. That said,...
... stuck at about 1300, as I said. But come time for it to start, well things are a bit messed up. I think Porutgal will be ready to start sailing down the...
My gut feeling (by which I mean it popped into my head right away, felt right, and didn't undergo any further thought on my part), was that it ought to be <tc>...

Open 'o' changes to 'Œ' when an 'i' or an 'u'. Maybe I will not distinguish it orthographically. I have not yet decided if 'u' did change to 'o' at that time...
