    What? No Optimality Theory?
    This is giving me flashbacks to my Phonetics and Phonology class. 🤣Great review for the linguists in the audience!

      We'll get to Optimality Theory soon enough I'm sure, hahaha. You and me both!

    For my SCA2 categories, I also chose B for back vowels and F for front vowels. I've also noticed that D is common for voiced consonants, whereas T is commonly used for voiceless consonants.

    Thank thee a lot! This is full thrilling to me owing to this being right what I need for my fictional proto-speech's phonemic evolution!

    How would one write that a word-initial consonant changes (lenition) when the previous word ends in a vowel?

    • @AgmaSchwa
      @AgmaSchwa  Před 2 lety +11

      so this would be written as [plosive] / [fricative] / [vowel]#_ or [P] / [F] / V(#)_
      The brackets are important because these lenited sounds are allophones if the original plosive in this situation, even if they themselves are their own phonemes, if that makes sense.

    This was a great video, thanks for making it! It'd be great if you could link some of the tools you mention, as some I can't find myself.

      The tools are actually linked in the description of my previous video on Sound Change Appliers!

    Hey Nguh, I am making sound changes for my conlang, but I don’t know if I should turn voiceless glottalized obsruents voiced (as I turn the voiced ones voiceless) or add a rhotic (as I do with my glottalized non-obstruents). Any advice?

    • @AgmaSchwa
      @AgmaSchwa  Před 7 měsíci

      Hey! At the end of the day it's up to you and I haven't seen the rest of the language, but I guess if you're adding rhotics in a bunch of other places, then it might be more naturalistic-looking to have this particular situation *not* lead to rhotics. Having this situation be the irregular out of the batch could make things look more realistic, if that's what you're going for.

      lolll, delrel stands for "delayed release," which is basically a category that includes fricatives and affricates. the release is "delayed" by increased air turbulence before release, which scientifically does literally delay the release.
