Re: The raymanian language
You mean it got approved? I know it's for made up stuff, but still...
Re: The raymanian language
Here i have the document explaining the pronunciation of raymanian.
If you are not sure if your pronunciation of a sound is correct, you could look at the wikipedia pages of the sounds. Feel free to ask anything!
I am also currently working on a memrise course, but it might take some time until i can share the link with you.
Edit: I made a change to the pronunciation, explained in this post.

Re: The raymanian language
Thanks for the detailed guide, did you pick the sounds from a specific language? Some are rather unfamiliar!

Re: The raymanian language
Btw, I think the Rabbids also have their own alien language, however I don't know if there is enough material to make an alphabet.
Re: The raymanian language
Someone else already made a language for the rabbids: https://youtu.be/mQi5_IUDAzg
But the letters in that image are also interesting. It looks more like a syllabary, where each letter is a whole syllable.

Re: The raymanian language
Oh dear GOD! That's pretty good actually, but I'd have been more interested in hearing about the DomZ language, which is also part of a Michel Ancel creation and designed to sound horribleDomnibus wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 5:53 pm Someone else already made a language for the rabbids: https://youtu.be/mQi5_IUDAzg

Re: The raymanian language
Yeah, that was disappointing. Someone mentioned it in the comments though, so hopefully that guy won't make that mistake again!

Re: The raymanian language
Yeah, kinda unexpected for "a channel dedicated to presenting topics in [...] linguistics".
Re: The raymanian language
I have now finished the first 3 levels of the raymanian memrise course, but it is still far from complete. Levels 1 and 2 are the scripts, and level 3 is basic verb conjugation. In memrise i can only make flashcards, so i will have to explain the grammarper level in a word document. Please let me know if anything does not work correctly!
https://app.memrise.com/course/6037280/raymanian/
Edit: added level 4 about the pronouns.

Re: The raymanian language
I didn't know the app supported made-up languages! That's pretty cool.
Re: The raymanian language
Here i have the numeral for raymanian. I think it should be used in both scripts. I already had the words for the numbers done.

Re: The raymanian language
I see the names of large numbers start with the least significant digit, like they used to in English before we adopted Arabic numerals!

Re: The raymanian language
Yes, that's right.
In the attachment is an image of sans serif/handwritten suksǎ script. Not much changes, except for "i" and "u". In serif font, "i" is a big filled circle and a small filled circle, which change to an "o" shape and a dot. "U" is a filled triangle in serif font, but is not filled in handwriting.

Re: The raymanian language
"Gaygoy" sounds like something an orthodox Jew would call the depraved Western youth!
Jokes aside, nice progress here.

Thank you!
Also, here are the letters of the dāri script in different forms, most notably the letter b. Some curly endpoints can also become spirals.

Re: The raymanian language
This is awesome! It would look so much worse with my awful handwriting...
Re: The raymanian language
Hey everyone! I have made a small change to the pronunciation of the vowels. It doesn't change anything to the grammar or script/romanization. Now there are lot of front unrounded vowels: /a æ e̞ ɪ i/, and they may be hard to tell apart or to pronounce sometimes. So in the new version they are like this:
ě: changes from /æ/ to /ɛ/. /ɛ/ is pronounced like the "e" in "help". wikipedia
e: changes from /e̞/ to /e/. It is pronounced like the "a" in "play". wikipedia
ǐ: changes from /ɪ/ to /ɯ/. English doesn't have this sound. It is pronounced like the turkish letter ı (i without dot). Put your tongue in the position of pronouncing /u/, but don't round your lips, like when pronouncing /i/. wikipedia
a and i don't change.
Maybe the romanization should be changed as well, because carons and macrons are difficult to type, especially when a letter has both.

Re: The raymanian language
I'm not very familiar with the IPA, are there any tools we could use to automatically pronounce Raymanian words for us?
