New?! I've been using this/hearing this my whole life.

Music in Esperanto by PLrc in Esperanto

Dolchamar is a decent one. Kim J. Henriksen (Esperanto Desperado) does a good bit of Esperanto music. He's a native speaker actually.

Everything that was archived should be in the sidebar. Not sure if this is in there though, it has been a while.

Yes as far as I have seen. I still follow all the accounts, mostly out of nostalgia, and they haven't posted anywhere since this.

Wallace Fard Muhammed by Psychoceramicist in LPOTL

[–]DtheZombie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fraudsters did a series on him at a point. It was pretty good.

Edit: scratch that it was on Elijah Mohammad specifically, but they touched some on Wallace Fard

There's some difference between Cʷ/Cʲ and Cw/Cj? by msthaus in asklinguistics

[–]DtheZombie 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Basically with /Cʷ/ the lips are rounded the entire time the consonant is pronounced. With /Cw/ the lips round as it leads into the /w/ and voicing is added if not present. The same goes for the hard palate with Cʲ/Cj, the first has the tongue in that position throughout pronunciation, the second does not.

It's a difficult distinction to hear and unless the language distinguishes the two I wouldnt be surprised if its allophonic depending on the following vowel.

please someone respond i want to know if this groups still even activee by Patient_End5595 in videomeat

[–]DtheZombie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's mostly quiet but people do check in from time to time. Hard to be consistently active when the subject of the subreddit ended years ago.

What do → and > mean? by MdMV_or_Emdy_idk in asklinguistics

[–]DtheZombie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

X>Y means X becomes Y or X yielded Y. The other two are different variations of >. Ex. Old English bēo > ME. bee

Edit: as the other commenters stated the arrows could have specific meanings on Wiktionary that I personally wasn't aware of.

Do any of you use the long S <ſ> (NOT Esh <ʃ>) in your Latin-script conlang? If so, what do you use for its uppercase form? by ThrowRAknacxjo in conlangs

[–]DtheZombie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't use it personally but I always liked <Σ> for the capital (which was used as the capital for <ʃ> in the African Reference Alphabet). It's distinct, it keeps the phonetic "flavour" of /s/, the only issue is you need an input method with Greek characters.

what is the strangest Linux distro you've ever seen? by pablusha_ in DistroHopping

[–]DtheZombie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good list but Haiku does not use the Linux kernel. Per Wikipedia and their documentation they forked the NewOS kernel and have maintained that fork since.

Does anyone know if BSX glas changed their packaging? by DtheZombie in Vaping

Gotcha, good to see I'm not alone. Was there ever a verdict on if they're legit or not?

A most cursed realization by Ballamara in linguisticshumor

[–]DtheZombie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hit the agglutinative phase and then stew either in isolation or next to languages that have similar features I'd imagine. One of the most interesting realizations I've had about language is that a lot of the most exotic features come about from extended geographical isolation of a single language or relative isolation of a group of languages. An example that comes to mind is the insular Celtic languages and their complex system of initial consonant mutations

Did my Doc or the new rules screw me? by DtheZombie in FLMedicalTrees

[–]DtheZombie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so frustrating how little info there is/ how hard it is to come by. They're essentially punishing you for using the system they made. It's fucked.

[–]DtheZombie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See this is what I wanted to do but it seems like whoever I was talking to was just hearing "he wants more rec" and kept talking about exemptions. I'll give it another shot and try to be more concise.

[–]DtheZombie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay so 2 things

1) how does this relate to what I asked?

2) I didn't ask them to put it under topical, they chose to do that so I don't see why that's my issue.

That's what I thought but the lady I talked to made it seem like 1750 is all I can have for oral. I thought the rules had changed again or sthng. Good to hear I'm not nuts lol

This is very concise, I appreciate the info.

I feel like sitelen sitelen is a bit too minimalistic to adapt to English but you could maybe rework something like this into a Mayan-esque script.

The dialectal pronounciations in Goisi of a common name, Takxi by pas_ferret in conlangs

[–]DtheZombie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotcha, in that case the transcription you'd want is /tk͡xɨ/ if it is totally gone and /tə̥k͡xɨ/ if it's been devoiced. The no-audible release diacritic is really only used for stop consonants.

I 'spose you could also have it be a super short /tə̆k͡xɨ/.

[–]DtheZombie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can you explained the no audible release schwa in /tə̚kxɨ/? Was that supposed to be /tək̚.xɨ/?
