'Sup, Scriptorium. Prickly Pear from the ZBB. Here's the la-*test*-('") most recent draft of the Cactus phonology: http://wiki.penguindeskjob.com/cactus

I've never been a fan of using IPA in ones orthography, but your use of nasalization is wonderful. The obligatory coda arouses much controversy, since vowel terminal syllables have the non-phonemic in coda and/or prosidic geminate consonants. I would love to see an expansion of this feature. I'm unfamiliar with non-phonemic , can you give a natlang example? Also, have you developed any vocab/grammar for this lang or are you still in the initial phases?

Hmm... There must be some misunderstanding, there's no IPA in the orthography: <bpoð gjyll> < ̬ ɓu:w ɟəl̪ˠ:> The obligatory coda arouses much controversy, since vowel terminal syllables have the non-phonemic in coda and/or prosidic geminate consonants. I would love to see an expansion of this feature. I'm unfamiliar with non-phonemic , can you give a natlang example? Well that has to with the prosody of codas. Every coda has to occupy three prosodic feet. Let's take the words <tag> & <tagg>: <tag> <tagg> <tag> in order to have three feet transforms the coda /ag/ into a-a-g . <tagg> in order to have three feet transforms the coda /ag/ into a-g-g . When a vowel occurs in coda it must similarly occupy three feet. Let's take the words <tâ> & <ta>. <ta> <tâ> represents a geminate constant. <Ta> occuring in the squence <ta tagg> becomes: <ta tagg> While <tâ> occuring in the sequence <tâ tagg> becomes: <tâ tagg> The thing is, occurs nowhere except following a codic vowel. It's nonphonemic, it only appears predictably to satisfy the prosody. See?

Kinda, I need to read up on it more on my own. Thanks though. I think the supersegmental aspect of phonology is something important, it gives a language its characteristic rhythm and feel, that a lot of conlangers overlook.

...a lot of conlangers overlook. The amount of stuff I overlook could quite literally fill a book. :wink:

The difference between <tag> and <tagg> seems like the way Norwegian does it: tak = takk =

Cactus? I thought you were talking about that plant XD But indeed very nice =3
