Fascinating! /q/ is a much less common sound cross linguistically than /k/, so you'd expect it to be harder to pronounce. There being enough people who have trouble with /k/ and use /q/ instead that there's a word for it is quite surprising.

Ah I should probably make a habit of including the original gloss from the source for these as well! I didn't think to include them originally when I was just making these for myself since I have the source avaliable. This is the one for this sentence.

Prosp is "prospective" here. The reason that term is used rather than "future" in the grammar is because the prospective marker can be used for future-in-the-past or counterfactual type meanings, such as "was going to" or "would have"

#to respond to the tags yeah I think a lot of the lack of clarity comes from there not being a standard gloss included as well #The orange and blue marking on the tones are to do with Seenku's system of tone sandhi; the underarrows connect the elements involved #Possessors and possessums; objects and verbs; and complements and postpositions influence each other's tones #the reason i linked it to “will” in the example of “sȉ nɛ̏-kɔ̏" is because Object-Verb tone sandhi is only active in the irrealis #so the TAM value of the clause affects how the tones are reallised #in “trɛ́ gṵ̏” however the TAM value doesn't have an effect on it because it's between a postposition and its head.#I'm happy to explain some of the notes in more detail if you'd like as well! feel free to dm me if you wish

tagalog : lang d'ang :: subanon : log d'og

A sentence with a big difference in syllable count between english and Japhug. I like making these little diagrams they're fun

Here the Reflexive/Reciprocal marker in Karbi is used to indicate coreference between the subject, and the possessor of the possessor of the goal.

In Dela, the default way of negating a clause is bipartite. a clitic nda= precedes the predicate, and a clitic =sa comes at the end of the clause. If the matrix clause, and a subordinate clause within it are both negated however, only one =sa is used the examples here show a negated simple clause, a negated matrix with a positive complement, a positive matrix with a negated complement, and a negated matrix with a negated complement

ending the last example with =sa =sa would be ungrammatical i suppose it's somewhat ambiguous whether =sa in the final example is part of the subordinate or the matrix clause, the paper doesn't really mention that i feel like either analysis is plausible, as some younger speakers are beginning to drop =sa, especially in longer clauses, so the conditioning nda= with two predicates in between it is far enough away to make dropping more likely, but also having a marker of negation dropped in the main clause by having it appear in the subordinate clause i think would be quite unusual Source: https://openresearch-repository.anu.edu.au/handle/1885/250953
