ConlangFest: Can NationStates Make a Conlang? [MAJOR UPDATE]

[New Eestiball]

the clicks ruin this
but in any case the velar nasal is really hard to type up, as it, unlike accents, doesn't work with the INTL keyboard; i propose NUQ/nuq as u is unused
same with the polish L -> regular L because we are not using it
and Ay and Oy will be problems unless /aj/ and /oj/ are banned
same with GH and /gh/ TH and /th/ DH and /dh/ TL and /tw/
also what're our phonotactics?

...I don't actually know if we have too many phonotactics? All I know is that clicks are either restricted to the onset or codas.

Also, agreed for the orthography. Instead of Ay, how about ä? It's relatively easy to input into a keyboard.

sure; i assume you also want ö
we could have a u-convention similar to esperanto´s x-convention as well

I agree. I will modify our spelling soon.

[Thal Dorthat]

New update and changes tomorrow.

[Thal Dorthat]

I am sorry, but I am not able to make an update as I my cat had to have an emergency surgery procedure and I need to make sure he has a comfortable place to stay. I will try to get one in on Friday.

[Thal Dorthat]

Expect an update tomorrow.

[Due-eajyti-uehn Mosxto]

I'd like to keep /ɱ/ distinct from /m/ if possible.

Noted.

[New Eestiball]

for pnt: (c)cv(c) sound good?

[Byzantium Universalis]

I'd go for (C)(C)V(C) but that's good with me as well if it hasn't already been decided.

Mini-Challenge

Guess That Conlang

This conlang has appeared in an expansive science fiction franchise.
This conlang features no velar sounds but features a variety of uvular sounds, including the affricate /qχ/
This conlang is notable for its mixed-case romanization system.

I will give the choice 1 Rare card or thread benefits in future updates and stages to winners of these mini-challenges.

[Byzantium Universalis]

Oh, the mini challenge.
It's... Klingon I think?
Because I'm pretty sure it has that uvular affricate.

[Chinchilla Land]

How about a ç and ʋ sound?

[Byzantium Universalis]

We're beyond phonology I thiiiink.
So we're probably going to focus on grammar?
