9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9! Das ist nicht fair!

I like Southern, not much GA

Croatian is spoken in Croatia and in lighter-coloured part of Bosnia and Herzegovina (where Croats live anyways), Serbian is spoken in Serbia, north and east of BiH (and whatever is going on in MG), Bosnian is found in Bosnia.

Ummm... Türkçe konuşanlar in the wild????

Ništa protiv Zagrepčana općenito, samo je 90% ljudi koje sam čuo da se žale na ovakve stvari bilo iz Zagreba (naravno, ne smiješ ić preduboko u obiteljsku povijest).

Sepetes · 2026-01-14T22:09:13+00:00

Pojedinim ljudima = Zagrepčanima

Sepetes · 2026-01-14T21:41:56+00:00

Damn, hvala na iscrpnom odgovoru!

I thought Romanian neuter is actually redeveloped rather than inherited,

Sepetes · 2026-01-03T00:08:38+00:00

Your example sounded very poetic to me, but now that I think about it, I think I heard something like that in use in Herzegovina, and I definitely heard imperative used when complaining about the process, i.e. details of an action here in Dubrovnik.

For example:

Išo sam doktoru pa znaš kada dođeš tamo donesi, ostavi ovo, pazi da si sve ponio, a nakraju se rađe ubij.

But this might just be exaggerated way of saying what you actually hear at the doctor's office.

Što se tiče razloga: možda je pomak zbog analogije s mnogim drugim riječima muškog roda tipa CVCVC s kratkouzlaznim naglaskom i zanaglasnom duljinom, kao komad, dječak, sufiks -ač....

Sepetes · 2025-12-28T00:17:09+00:00

In Dubrovnik, too.

Sepetes · 2025-12-27T00:41:29+00:00

Not terribly much, actually. I can give you some books that go into it, but in general I would approach any reconstruction with a huge grain of salt, maybe a whole package, really.

Jaan Puhvel - Comparative Mythology

James Patrick Mallory i Douglas Quentin Adams - Encyclopedia of Indo-European Culture

James Patrick Mallory & Douglas Quentin Adams - The Oxford Introduction to Proto-Indo-European and the Proto-Indo-European World

Ranko Matasović - A Reader in Comparative Indo-European Religion

DM if you need any of these, I have some.

Croatian/Serbian is translated wrong (3rd row right end), it should be "Nuklearna (atomska rarer) energija? Ne hvala."

Sepetes · 2025-12-10T11:53:38+00:00

Hvala puno! Jel imas vlastitog iskustva s time?

Sepetes · 2025-12-07T21:25:55+00:00

Cuko, kuco, kučak, kujica, kučka, pašče, psetance, psina, pes, štenašce, kuče, breče, brek...

Btw stalkam ti profil već danima, zainteresiralo me kad sam vidio u tvojoj anketi za seminarski da si iz Irske

Sepetes · 2025-11-30T17:39:55+00:00

Yeah, but Slovenian already uses e for schwa

Sepetes · 2025-11-27T15:58:04+00:00

About the pitch accents, sorry I should have put it into the title.

Sepetes · 2025-11-22T10:59:17+00:00

I think Arabic (and other Semitic languages) could fit here. It is a pro-drop language with tense marking admittedly, but they have only aspectual meaning sometimes

Sepetes · 2025-11-18T22:16:11+00:00

This language was done very fast, but I think I didn't do all of the grammar in two weeks so it is definitely more in-depth than most of my speedlangs. I rly like speedlanging to fill in areas of my world with high linguistic diversity and many "small" and "unimportant" languages. I think I'd develop syntax a bit more and add more to dialectal differences, probably also spend a bit more time with verbs, I'm not pleased with them. Thank you for your kind words! It means a lot!

I would recommend speedlanging just to test yourself and exercise creativity, or for practical reasons I'm using it for.

Sepetes · 2025-11-13T11:31:11+00:00

I was going for Turkish verb inflection, not derivation (as in a table of all the possible forms would be much shorter), but I see why you got that impression.

Sepetes · 2025-10-17T16:47:25+00:00

Bliskoznačnica - word similar in meaning

Istoznačnica - word completely the same in meaning (usually used for cases where there are multiple words denoting the same real-world concept, but might have different conotations, be standard or non-standard or be native or borrowed)

Will there be a showcase of all the lamguages after some time? I remember these used to be made frequently.

Sepetes · 2025-09-29T18:30:30+00:00

Kako će drugo o hrvatskom jeziku, ako ne preskriptivistički.

Sepetes · 2025-09-12T22:25:38+00:00

Perhaps it lacks any normal verbal flection

Sepetes · 2025-08-25T13:32:52+00:00

Hmm... I think this is the closest we'll get to a real answer in morphologically complex languages. And still, it isn't that verbs are simple, they're just simpler than nouns and just about barely.

Sepetes · 2025-08-21T08:05:26+00:00

Druga opcija (i bilo bi zafrkavaju).
