It's the only copy of this message I've received so far, so indeed it seems it
didn't get through.

Well, you seem to have an extreme taste in onset reduction ;)))) .

And also partly because you're as evil as I am ;))) <Mwahahahahaha!!!> .

LOL.

Basically, Tibetan is what happens when you didn't have any spelling reform in
the last thousand years ;))))) . Tibetan is written with wild-looking consonant
clusters, while its syllable structure is today more like CVC and a tone. And
the shape of the consonant clusters, according to extremely complicated rules,
indicates both the actual pronunciation of the consonants as well as the
tone :) .

Hehe, maybe Proto-World is! That would be a funny answer to the problem of
language genesis (and who knows, this Proto-World could be one of our
conlangs ;)))))) ).
