Hi!
DING! Ten languages extinct, one language born.
I put a new conlang online. It does not yet have a name;
preliminarily, it will be called 'S7'.
http://www.theiling.de/projects/s7/
The page is not at all complete yet and possibly a bit dry to read,
but there is a brief description, some examples in IPA and a small
lexicon.
A feature list:
- a-priori
- totally regular
- fluid-S active case system
- primarily head-first
- primarily head-marking
- VOS word order (=~ predicate, patient, agent)
- only one open lexical class (e.g. call them substantives)
- polysynthetic: there is an open class of clitics (certain
substantives can be reduced)
- underspecified by default
- extremely precise on demand
- mandatory categories: case, valence and evidence
- optional, coarse- or fine-grained or vague degree modifiers
Comments appreciated!
Greetings,
Henrik
PS: I translated 'I think, therefore I am' again. It's great
for languages with evidentials. :-)
