Alright, enough with the spam.

In all seriousness, I got bored and so I decided to make my message a little more fun. Anyways, this looks like a pretty hip place, and I'm anticipating all the stuff that awaits. Hopefully there'll be plenty.  ;)

I do understand the IPA to a fairly advanced extent. Just get the places of articulation down, the methods, etc. and you can pronounce at least 70% of the sounds, even if you never use them in daily speech, which I find really cool.

But, I'm a nerd. And I get bored. So I make creepy stuff and listen to what others may consider creepy music. Oh well.

Dear Jesus, I can't pronounce half the sounds in Arskovaa... and there are plenty of consonants.

I considered making my conlang have 40-something consonants and distinguishing the vowels with length, tone (high and low), and nasality, therefore creating plenty of sounds. But never for a second did I consider all the pharyngealization...

Yes it's true Gulliver did 99% of the work for Eruvite. I am a dastardly leech.

Oh, you found my article. Excellent. I really need to finish that at some point. And a bunch of other wiki projects. That article is out of date actually since we lost data  while back, I've since updated the sound system a bit so it's only a two way contrast between velarized/pharyngealized and palatalized consonants and unrounded and rounded vowels. I thought I'd updated the wiki to keep track of that, but I guess not. Still really unpronounceable though. And the grammar is deliberately un-Indo-European.

"...discuss matters of great import."... and does this mean that the region frequently receives copious amounts of trade items?

Just joking, I don't mean to insult. I'm just getting my Grammar Nazi on (even though it's not grammar...)
