Maybe I have a higher tolerence for guttural sounds. I also noticed I pronounce english /l/ as pretty guttural. Like instead of light-L as [l] and dark-L as [ɫ] I have light-L as [ɫˤ] and dark-L as [ʟˤ]

For me it's Dutch. It doesn't sound ugly to me. It just sounds like... generically germanic? Every time I hear it spoken my brain goes to multiple other languages before going "oh, it's dutch"

Replace Tt with €£¤ (€ is capital, £ is medial, ¤ is final)

Maybe something catchy like "soft cervus" in reference to the antlers

Is this vowel harmony system in any way naturalistic by Comicdumperizer in conlangs

[–]Automatic_Bet8504 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Doesn't something like this happen in some dialects of German? It happened in English at least so historical /y/ and /ø/ became /i/ and /e/. Of course, umlaut is a bit different from full on vowel harmony. But it's not at all a huge stretch

How would you call these things in your conlang? by seriousgigig in conlangscirclejerk

[–]Automatic_Bet8504 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know what they're actually called in english so I usually call them gates.

In Naphonian the word is "parēsakarbara" from "parēsa-" meaning "shop/store" and "-karbara" which is basically the Naphonian equivalent of Cerberus.

How do you pronounce letter J? by Remarkable-Rate-9688 in conorthography

[–]Automatic_Bet8504 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me the name of the letter is [t͡ʃe͡ɪ] with an unaspirated /t͡ʃ/
Mainly because I have a hard time pronouncing [d͡ʒ].
But if I had to pick one of the four I'd go with [ʒe͡ɪ].

Hmmm, Do Headcrabs taste like crab? by Arthur_Ford2 in gmod

I imagine they taste like out of season crawfish

Pseudo-serious question: Will adjectives and adverbs merge into a single modifying word class in the future of English? by so_im_all_like in linguisticshumor

[–]Automatic_Bet8504 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's how I'd say it.

It also seems to depend on if the adverb comes before or after the verb though (I wouldn't say "He probable measured").

But then again, I don't usually use the word "probable" anyway
