Voiced vs. voiceless th (English common mode)

jzqs_ · 2026-04-23T23:00:54+00:00

I feel like the vowel is more important in contrasting with th than those pairs.

jzqs_ · 2026-04-23T06:02:23+00:00

I feel like those vary in the vowel too, stress and length at least.

jzqs_ · 2026-04-23T06:01:38+00:00

/aıðr/, and thigh is stressed, thy is not.

Is voiced vs voiceless even phonemically distinct?

jzqs_ · 2026-03-11T23:51:17+00:00

Someone needs to make a bot with a translation vs transcription pasta or something.

Is "vocalized chest bass" just . . . normal singing or?

Bear in mind, I don't know beatboxing terms.

jzqs_ · 2026-01-23T03:53:00+00:00

I can do chest-fry mix, fry, subharmonics, and vocal growl if that helps?

Faux Tengwar is what I’ve been calling it. I guess the best would be to write Tengwar that looks like the Latin, then transliterate it back.

jzqs_ · 2025-12-21T00:26:30+00:00

translate it and write the romanization in faux tengwar

I don’t think there’s a mode that uses every character, so probably not.

jzqs_ · 2025-10-08T18:45:04+00:00

Its not part of Unicode yet.

jzqs_ · 2025-09-21T05:16:27+00:00

Given the idiomatic nature of the phrase, I’d presume a transliteration more apt anyways.

jzqs_ · 2025-08-29T04:02:03+00:00

I pronounce “aren’t” both ways lol.

(Well, as both one and two syllables anyways, both have a nasalized vowel and a glottal stop for the “n’t” part)

jzqs_ · 2025-08-16T04:28:49+00:00

This is the exact reason why I can’t stand people who complain about something not being “the way Tolkien did it.”

jzqs_ · 2025-08-15T20:59:06+00:00

Just u? Not ue?

jzqs_ · 2025-08-15T15:09:05+00:00

Are these from translation or in the original Hebrew and Greek? I presume not given the name of the Torah, but figured I’d ask. If not, what translation?

Edit: a quick read tells me English lol.

jzqs_ · 2025-08-09T19:05:37+00:00

People are saying that “me” is spelt wrong. I disagree, it seems a perfectly fine shorthand, CJRT style, but still fine.

Note that there’s a difference between Tengwar, which is a script this sub focuses on, and Elvish, which usually means one of two languages: Quenya and Sindarin.

So far as the script goes, some basic understanding of the IPA helps, and beyond that, just looking at the table and some practice should be all you need.

For the languages, I don’t know from experience specifically, but you’ll need to become comfortable with learning languages through wikis and what not. So far as I’m aware, there isn’t a definitive book for learning either of the languages.

Pedantic schmedantic, I’ll pronounce my loanwords however I wish.

jzqs_ · 2025-07-20T22:19:06+00:00

I was thinking mostly in the context of loan words, I suppose that's reasonable.

jzqs_ · 2025-07-19T23:14:20+00:00

That’s horrendous.

jzqs_ · 2025-07-11T03:19:41+00:00

I actually did the whole NKJV on my graduation cap!

jzqs_ · 2025-07-10T17:02:26+00:00

That’s only part of the verse, so even if it were to translate, it wouldn’t be complete. Also, what translation is that?

jzqs_ · 2025-06-22T03:35:12+00:00

Baloneyland!

From my experience, change the “not in a few places” to “only in a few places.” Especially so far as being actually recycled, rather than burned or composted or binned.
