Do you know about OmegaWiki? http://www.omegawiki.org/Meta:Main_Page Recently Lidepla has been added to it, and I am adding Lidepla definitions little by...
... I have visited OmegaWiki too. A common problem in multilingual dictionaries is lack of pronunciation aids. That leaves translations to some languages...
Rober Winter is now at early stages of developing a worldlang named Simpel. One thing he wants to do is to do without any R completely. I had an idea how it...
... It's crazy because "zh" is also an uncommon sound. And the rules for voicing and devoicing seem complex. If he really wants to avoid "r" in worldlang, he...
I am almost annoyed to agree with Risto here, but unfortunately he's right. It's unfortunate because the solution is ingenious, but it's also suboptimal. ... ...
I believe I have avoided the R-L confusion, and most consonant pronunciation problems, in my fledgling "lalamijo" development. 13 phonemes, no "R" sound, no...
... I guess that's because English <r> is pronounced with lip rounding. That doesn't happen with the trilled <r>, so I would find it weird if <r> was replaced...
... Mine isn't. As noted, no one knows how to pronounce the thing. That ... Everyone would find it weird if someone replaced <r> with anything but their...
... I experimented with this back around 1980 after encountering Babm (boabomu), which uses all 26 letters, but as a syllabary. It's impressive, and the...
... Yes, in Italian. On the other hand, in Portuguese C+l often becomes C+r, which makes me think that there is no essential difference between /l/ and /r/...

... I tweaked Bebson's English a bit. I actually like Ido as a language, though I'm no good at it myself. (I find Eo easier.) I do think its culture,...

... You own compositions can let the language find its own expressions and idioms, especially when compositions of others (collaborators) are factored in. I...
... I haven't found anything really good, unfortunately, though Aesop's fables are a reasonable start: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/18732 I think that one's...
Salam! I have just uploaded the song "Dai a me kisa" (in MP3) by German raggae singer Jonny M. to the Files section of this group. Jonny has composed lyrics on...
... He was aware of the phenomenon even if it didn't have a name. That b/v thing happens in dialects of Spanish, and also in the evolution from classical Greek...
... And this because of nagging sanity. After arguing that <z>/[z] has no clear identity internationally, he proposes merging <z> with <s>. But note that [s]...
... Don't worry. I built up the vocabulary anew in a few weeks before and after announcing the continual of Pandunia's development. Working fast is not a...
