just accidentally discovered that uvular trills are very easy to produce specifically while lying flat on my back. i'd just gotten used to my intervocalic uvular approximants and all of a sudden i'm trilling them. so what's that about

#catch me reading the french dictionary aloud while putting my body in every possible position #in the hopes of discovering the optimal conditions under which to pronounce each of the french r allophones #like what IS this about though. is it on account of gravity??? is gravity the culprit?? #french #phonetics #my posts

for your language: what are your thoughts on having a difference between inclusive and exclusive we (first person plural)?

honestly I haven't even figured out the phonetic inventory yet and I think the plan is to do grammar after phonology so I haven't actually given it much thought but it IS intriguing

I guess my one hesitation is that I'm not particularly familiar with any language that uses them, and therefore I don't have a great idea of how they fit into the grammatical landscape. I wouldn't mind doing a bit of research, but since I'm already venturing into the unknown with consonant palatalization (the nightsisters had to get those russian accents from somewhere, and it really sounds to me like Merrin's /doθomir/ (as opposed to Cal's /dæθəmiɹ/) has a palatalized r at the end), I'm fairly loath to commit to something else new on the spot just because it sounds interesting to add.

That said—it WOULD be interesting to explore given the fact that the nighsisters have different clans and would likely want a word to express "we" as Dathomir vs "we" as the Nightsisters vs "we" as [insert clan here], and it would definitely be useful for worldbuilding to add that and then explore the origins of those words as tied to the making/breaking of clans and the additions of the zabrak nightbrothers.......... hm.

So I guess my answer is ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

#actually the phonetic inventory is being a nightmare #bc in THEORY I should be keeping the retroflex fricatives from russian instead of switching them out for my own postalveolar ones #since even though I can't hear the difference I'd be willing to bet actual money that the voice actors are using the retroflex versions #when they speak in english #but if I do that the inventory is going to be WAY to close to russian #AND I won't be able to pronounce it properly #which like. okay. #(a) it doesn't matter if I can bc there wouldn't be a distinction so my postalveolar phone would just count as the retroflex and I'd have #a bit of an accent #and (b) I don't actually have to speak my silly little made up language #but I want to! and I want to do it correctly! #so. ugh #one thing that is going to be different than russian is a long/short vowel distinction #plus I'm adding an alveolar tap in as an allophone #but like. that's still just russian with additions #I want something more interesting than that #willow makes some words #asks #masteryaddleisagilf

hehehehehehehehe

shalt /ʃæʊt/

#trolling the linguists and also myself #gotta poke more to see if these are actually the same sound or not but. i find it funny lol #also i do not CARE that [ʊ̯] here is an allophone of /l/ it's more fun analysing it like this anyways lol #linguistics #sewi's stuff #yeah shoving æʊ in slash brackets is incredibly bad faith #but like. it communicates what i want lol #i do pronounce it like that it's just that. that's not really the phonemes

[tobacconist]

mr iwan wmffre thy booke on late cornish grammar is making me hate IPA even more than i already do....

#NATURAL LANGUAGES (until they are put under a microscope) ARE NOT BUILT OF PURE PHONEMES. NONE OF THEM #and this is especially true of vowels #ALLOPHONES. the phonetic components of all natural languages are ALLOPHONES #j have many cuntroversial opinions about ipa... #and yes that is the welsh spelling of 'humphrey'

[effervescentdragon]

my handwriting truly is a gift where else would you read the sentence "tongue tops the alveolar ridge once", get very confused, then get the most cursed image ever

#usually its the other way around #hashtag tonguetops #effervescentdragonrants #akiras uni tag #its taps. it fucking taps the alveolar ridge for the r-tap allophone

[block-swing-perry]

desperate times call for desperate measures. im hella ass at understanding confusing directions and this hw task reads like greek to me. now i dont need answers to this but i do wish to have some help on decipering what exactly im supposed to do.

does (i) mean:

something like in the /æ/ column should be like back-pack in that box or perhaps a list down the column: (back, pack, sack, lack) and then the // next to it is a diphthong between the sound æ and a??

and then i think (ii) s just a general statement of there seems to be a sort of correlation between the high sounding vowels and the lower sounding vowels where the higher tends to have e and lower a ck if its minimal pair has a ke etc etc

#really need help because my teacher breeeeezed through everything and this is all new to me and phonemes and allophones are super confusing #and i still dont get what the criteria is for both #read the textbook three times today

you've got to be fucking kidding me

#fyi this is the bill that will a) force immigrants to speak french while recieving MEDICAL SERVICES to the extent that the dept of language #can sieze phone records to check what language they are in and b) forces english cegeps (mandatory level of higher education that goes #in btwn high school and uni) students to take at least 3 courses in french #which will be EXTREMELY difficult for immigrants indigenous people and the pretty significant english population #and will result in thousands of anglophone cegep profs losing their jobs which quebec doesn't have enough allophone people to replace #FUCK legault and his fucking nationalistic canadien ego #mn

Like any language, there are those who find Korean intuitive and beautiful. But I hate it because I just spent a not insignificant amount of time trying to figure out if people are pronouncing two syllables that are supposed to both be variations of ‘TA’ as ‘NA’ and ‘TA’ are actually just to troll me or something. They are telling me that these sounds (나 and 다) are both Ts and it’s okay if I find them hard to distinguish from one another, while very clearly using an N sound for the first syllable to my ears, and it is driving me insane.

I just wanted to know how to pronounce tteokbokki, why are we playing these games?? 😭

#those are supposed to be allophones to the english ear #not completely different areas of articulation #i know for a fact korean uses nasals so what is this?? #korean #linguistics #send help bc i gotta be doing something wrong

[coquelicoq]

first off, if you want to spend more time way overthinking r sounds, there's a GREAT doctoral thesis about r variation in standard dutch. "The Sociophonetics and Phonology of Dutch r" by Koen Sebregts. i still haven't read all of it, but spent most of a dinner talking at my mother and sister about it until they were like "please we are begging you to discuss this with literally anyone else". secondly, /ɥ/ :)

[shipping myself with french phonemes ask game]

you always know exactly what to recommend to me. if i were at that dinner you could talk to me about the sociophonetics and phonology of dutch r by koen sebregts as long as you wanted. rip to your mom and sister and any other bystanders but at least we would be happy!!

i was hoping someone would ask about /ɥ/...this sound has been shrouded in mystery for as long as i can remember. we're talking as early as when i learned to count to dix (because of huit). it was one of the sounds i could hear but could not for the life of me figure out how people were making. it's like we grew up across the street from each other, and she was a little older than me and so smart and pretty and carefree and i grew up just yearning. from afar. knowing that /ɥ/ didn't even know i existed.

so you'd think, what, unrequited pining? WRONG. this is ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP. didn't see that coming did you!!!! that's right, i can now pronounce the /ɥ/ sound. i can say it with my own mouth. and i do! i am saying this sound all over the place! we have ridden off into the sunset! we are on our honeymoon! it is happily ever after all up in here!!!

it's kind of interesting how this came about. i couldn't figure out how to make this sound until i learned how to identify and pronounce the /y/ sound, which makes sense given /ɥ/ is the semivocalic equivalent of /y/, but also makes no sense because then why could i identify /ɥ/ even before i could identify /y/? you'd think i would be able to hear both or neither, but not just one. and yet that is what happened. also, there was about a year between getting comfortable with /y/ and sealing the deal with /ɥ/. not sure what that was about either...like if you can make /y/ you can make /ɥ/, they're the same sound, they just occur in different environments...what would this trope be...ummm this is like if she were a superhero and i were dating her alter ego while also pining after the superhero. like babe i have good news for you! but also it's a little embarrassing after a year of dating to not be able to recognize someone when they take their glasses off.

in any case this is a very recent development, probably within the last year ish? it took me over two decades but i got there in the end. slow burn, happy ending. now if only i could figure out why word-final high vowels sound super aspirated sometimes, which is odd because aspiration is a consonant thing. (current theory is devoicing.) my beautiful wife /ɥ/ gives me the courage to be curious. if i can learn to make /ɥ/, i can learn to make anything. dreams do come true!!

#reading the wikipedia for the voiceless alveolar fricative /ç/ which is the sound mentioned as occurring at the end of words #ending in high vowels in the french phonology section on devoicing: #'The sound further occurs as an allophone [...] of /h/ in the vicinity of front vowels.' um okay. mystery solved maybe??? #cuz i'm mostly thinking i hear it with /i/ and /y/. which are both high and front vowels #no fricking clue how to make that sound but i feel better having some idea of what is happening lol #anyway thank you very much for indulging me 🥰 #my beloved linguistics mutual #french #phonetics #asks #not anon #links

cried four times in the last 24 hours. it’s Bad folks

#ling exam went moderately well but really well for my besties ipa transcriptions and allophones #but cried during comp sci lab yesterday…visibly. audibly even. #finished an hour early because my tas were more helpful (probably because. cried.) and #instead of studying for ling. i woke up. the next day. and realized. #i had slept 12 hours without remembering getting into bed #then [redacted prof] was evil and villainous during the lecture so i imagined hunting him for sport #I love computer science 😔

[sewi-li-suwi]

i love palatal fricatives. like. [çɪːɹ] it is!

#i love this sound lol #here and human and hippy #gotta be the best allophone of /h/ fr #linguistics #sewi's stuff #this is a terrible shitpost but i do not care lmao #transcribing the [ɹ] bc of the sandi rules with vowels lol #and bc i feel like it #it wouldn't have [ɹ] before a consonant or a pause lol #this might be too incomprehensible even to linguists #and if it is i apologise

[dykekarkat]

linguistics kicking my fucking ass rn

#whydid i decideto take this class IM AN ANTHRO MAJOR!!!!! #any of my followers know how to distinguish phonemes n allophones when no minimal pairs exist it would b appreciated

[ascendandt]

i feel like a wizard watching phonology videos on youtube. thank you simon roper for allowing me to even briefly grasp the esoteric knowledge of ipa vowels

#im alright at consonants but grasping that the diffrence between 'i' and 'ɪ' is really small to many nonenglish speakers #was crazy. like the borders of allophonic vowels vary muchly between languages. WOW
