romanceconlang@yahoogroups.com writes: Interesting post. Aingeljã is a very interesting Romance language. Some of the rules seem a bit well...strange to me how you came up with them, but i guess if it's not trying to be historically perfect, one doesnt need to be, que no? It's gotten to the point where i'd have to sit down for a couple of hours to think of all the sound changes in Montreiano. I dont have them memorized in a list, just by what i know should happen. T >his sometimes happens with other endings: MANCHEGO => >MANCHEU (from La Mancha, Spanish region); GALLEGO => GALEU (Galician). Interesting. In Montreiano intervocalic G becomes /j/: Manchego > mancheyo, Gallego > Gauieyo /gawjejo/ Something to note: the palatal l (ll) became /wj/ in Montreiano: caballus > cavauio > >* An L before consonant usually changes into U: CÁLIDO = >CAUDE (warm), ALGUNO = AUCU~ (some); ALMA => AUMA (soul). This is also a rule in Montreiano: Palma > pauma, Alma > auma, Caldo > caudo > > >* -DAD and other words ending in -AD, -ED, -UD lose their ending D, >but retain a grave tilde (`). UNIVERSIDAD => UNIVERSITÀ (university), >LIBERTAD => LLUWERTÀ (liberty), MERCED => MERÇÈ (favour, mercy), >VIRTUD => VIRTÙ (virtue). This is similar to Montreiano, but d is lost intervocalically and finally: Universidad > universiá, libertad > livertá, merced > merçé ! a form that's pretty much like yours! :) > >* -CT- => -T-. ACTOR => ATOR (actor); OCHO => OTE (eight). >* -PT- => -IT-. SIETE => SEIT (seven); ACEPTAR => ACEITRE (to >accept); NEPTUNO => NEITU~ (Neptune). In most forms derived from Vulgar Latin, CT became /ts/, represented by ç in Montreiano. Later "relearned" borrowings, or simply "anomalies" (meaning my preference) simply dropped the C as yours has: Actor > ator pt is the same, except in scientific names and terms > > >* -AJE, -EJE, -OJE, -UJE, and in general all the syllables with the >sound /x/ => -AIX, -EIX, -OIX, -UIX, respectively. Ex: LENGUAJE >=> LANGAIX (language), ÁGIL => AIXIL (agile), AGUJA => ACUIXA >(needle), BAJO => BAIX (under), HOJA => FOIXA (leave), LIGERO => >LEIXER (light). typically what is the -aje, -age, etc. ending in Spanish is equvalent to -aj /aZ/ in Montreiano: lenguaje > lenguaj, garage > garaj > > >* In some Spanish hiatuses, a new D between vowels appears: CREER >=> CREDRE (to beleave, and also to create); CAÍDA => CADUTA (fall). This is opposite Montreiano where the hiatus remains, or often the vowels coalesce into a diphthong, or a longer vowel (represented by the grave accent): Credere > creder > creer > crèr, santificado > santificao > > > > __________________________ Say you were split, you were split in fragments and not all the pieces would talk to you Wouldn't you want to be who you had been? Well baby, i want that too...
