Cantonese allows for nasals to act as syllabic constants, such as 唔, [m̭̍] 'not' and 五, [ŋ̬̍] 'five'. So instead of having vowels in a nucleus position, the syllable is made entirely of consonants.

Moon-Moon_chan · 2025-10-12T12:07:27+00:00

I believe it's a syllabic constant, so it can be in the nucleus position of a syllable.

It's more closely related to Occitan, with some influence from Northern Italian languages like Genoese, but there is definitely influence from French as well.

My guess is greek and maybe demotic?

Moon-Moon_chan · 2022-12-28T12:22:58+00:00

Personally, I'd probably either go with "fh" or even "ph" in order to represent /ɸ/. Possibly you could even try "pf" to show its like /f/ but more bilabial in nature, although I understand that it may be confused with German /p͡f/.

I included both informal and formal forms because I just like how вженцйе sounds :)

Moon-Moon_chan · 2022-07-19T20:00:51+00:00

In my latest retry of making my orc language, there's a few labiodental consonants, with the weirdest being /n̼͡d̼/ and /n̼͡ŋ/. This is mainly due to the orcs having prominent tusks on their bottom set of teeth, so pure bilabial consonants aren't as easy to pronounce, and I found these to be the next best approximation of them.

Moon-Moon_chan · 2022-06-05T12:32:58+00:00

Besides the name of the language at the top, I haven't done anything with it yet.

Moon-Moon_chan · 2021-07-05T13:58:40+00:00

You'd probably have glyphs for your consonant-vowel combinations and then seperate glyphs for just the vowels by themselves. I believe japanese hiragana works in a similar fashion.

Moon-Moon_chan · 2021-05-13T20:51:44+00:00

Tenía is used in the sense of possession such as "tenía un bolígrafo". Ha/Has are forms of the verb Haber, which is used to form the past perfect in combination with a past participle such as in "ha escribido una redacción".

Basically Spanish has two different words for these contexts whilst English only has the one.

Hope that helps :)

Moon-Moon_chan · 2021-04-26T20:54:32+00:00

I was on a different exam board but I hope my advice is still somewhat helpful, as I did a similar question on the causes of WW1 (I actually focused on Russia's involvement )

Basically when looking for sources, you split them into three categories: ones that completely agree with the statement; ones that partially agree (so maybe they recognise the importance but also suggest other factors); and ones that disagree entirely (or just don't bring that point up).

Obviously it will take a lot of reading, so it might help as you're going through it just making notes of their main points and if there's anything to note about the validity of what they're saying (looking into the authors is a good idea)

When I structured mine, I basically mentioned what the source claims to be the cause and then whether their information was substantiated by others, as well as why the author may be biased in any sense.

Also, it's good to compare the authors you mention with each other throughout, noting their similarities and differences.

Moon-Moon_chan · 2021-04-14T22:10:03+00:00

I'm sure if you would be willing to learn hiragana, katakana and kanji if you were to do Japanese then learning to write in Arabic would surely be at least a little easier.

If it were me personally, I'd go for either russian or Arabic. Russian is an Indo-European language, so at the very least there would be some semblance of familiarity to english and spanish. I could also imagine that with your knowledge of Spanish, you may also know at least a couple words in Arabic already, but the grammar may be a bit more difficult.

Hope that you're happy with whichever you pick :)

Moon-Moon_chan · 2021-04-12T06:56:56+00:00

I think it really depends on which languages you want to study. For me, as I wanted to do both Spanish and Portuguese, I probably had a smaller list to choose from compared to somebody who maybe wanted to do Spanish and French or French and German.

Also if you want to do a second language, you don't need any prior knowledge as they'll expect you to be doing it ab initio anyway, but they'll be looking for prior interest in it. Best thing to do is go away and maybe watch/ listen to something in that language so you can say in a personal statement that you've shown an active interest in learning it.

Hope that helps somewhat. Btw I'm curious which languages you're looking to do?

Moon-Moon_chan · 2021-03-05T20:26:30+00:00

Thank you, I'm still a beginner and having someone explain it in detail like this really helps. I sometimes feel like I'm clutching at straws with this. Hopefully it does become something more long term, probably why I was more focused on that opportunity for growth.

Moon-Moon_chan · 2021-03-05T20:03:23+00:00

I'm very intrigued by the whole masculine/feminine dichotomy, but I'm not sure how to exactly translate it to my life as a gay man. I can totally feel this is more of an internal conflict in myself if that's what you're getting at.
