Hi Jens! Thanks for opening this new group! I understand Dana what he says he had difficulties to manage the group. Personnally, I had a job that devoured my...
... my ... Why does your blog show only posts for 2007 and 2008? At one point I thought you had abandoned sambahsa. Would you consider putting your material on...
Sellamat Steve! ... interest. ... on ... I ... Not at all (for the moment, sambahsa may even be the last thing I've not abandoned...); I've even posted some...
... The problem with using a blog is that people expect them to be updated regularly--at least once a week--so it makes Sambahsa look dead. It also is an...
... Hao sabah, kare Olivier! It would be good at least to have the whole of French-Sambahsa dictionary on one page. Then one could use browser search to...
... No problem. I'm happy to continue whatever discussions we were having. And just for the record, since we are a small group, we can discuss problems if they...
... I remember that idea of yours. Yesterday another idea, I'm not sure how serious it is, came to me: maybe start with grammar? I mean the following. For...
Sellamat prients! ... Well, that's true... But as I'm bad at computer technics, a blog was the only possibility I had to lodge sambahsa on the net. ... Thanks...
... I sketched an artlang along those lines in the 80s. The idea was that a group of nomadic traders used particles for grammar and borrowed vocabulary from...
... Okay, but I hope that will be soon. As we hardly ever say in English, all grammar and no vocabulary makes Jack an uncommunicative boy. ... I promise I will...
... It's still pretty rough, but it's there: http://sambahsa.pbwiki.com/ You were supposed to get an invitation of some kind. I think you'll find PBWiki is as...
Sellamat prients! Y'all can now witness Steve's efficiency! (One yahoo group dies, but another one is born, as well as a worldlang wiki; c'est la vie...) This...
... I think I can understand the idea, but I'm not completely sure. I assume that you are not proposing that the prepositions be chosen beforehand. If that is...
... I thought that prepositions should be included (and maybe also words like "what", "who" and "where"), so knowing them and their usage is part of Unigram....
Just FYI, I went through my inbox and it turns out I have 622 messages (I know, I'm not good at deleting things!) from the old worldlangs group. I'll keep them...
... "As long as there is chaos in Russia, it is invincible" (from an old joke) :) That is nice, they could be attached to our Files section. The only question...
Hi everybody! Is someone here has tried to use a TTS software to generate sample sentences in their auxlang? These softwares allow some tweaking, so it may be...
... I admit I'm not a fan of TTS. I could probably get such software to produce reasonable output for Sona (which I will use as an example worldlang), but it...
... Hi Olivier, I'm sorry I didn't get around to answering that. I decided to answer, and spent some time looking in the auxlang archives for it, then realized...
... This is very helpful to me. After Olivier sent the text to be translated into Inlis, I found my weekend and week were even busier than usual, so I haven't...
I wonder if anyone has created a language with homonymy. I mean, when one word may have completely different meanings, like "bear" (animal) and "bear" (carry)....

... Sona is somewhat like that: its "radicals" are rather loosely defined, so (for example) "uma" is "mother; nation; home." For greater clarity, you can...
... Now that I think about it, Elisabeth Wainscott, a UN interpreter, created an auxlang called UNI that did feature homonymy--she defended the idea in her...
... I don't know any such languages, but I suppose homonyms have slipped in to some. At least Esperanto is criticized for having some homonyms due to ...
Sellamat prients! About Mandarin, I wonder if we can really speak of homophons, since those words are distinguished by tones. Thus, they don't sound the same. ...
