I considered writing a conlang generator in prolog but Daniel told me there were several excellent one son the internet already. The only thing I wrote was code that chooses fonems out of all ((im?)possible?) sounds. The algorithms for this was straightforward, and output strange, utterly unnatural and exceedingly funny fonems. How about a pharyngeal ejective fricative with nasal release? I think that is one of the sounds that is shaded grey on the ipa charts... /Jens ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
