The Westerosi would most likely speak the language with a different accent than how the great Dothraki would.

So their using secondary particles to create a sense of mood or modality. Meaning the expression of the action is changing. Interesting.

Hmmm is that the subjunctive usage?

I mean laz, can or could tend to fall under grammatical mood or modality.

Seems modality is playing into conjugation too.

Ah, cool dude! What language would 'Amazon' be? I'm not familiar with it.

I looked up the page - are you guys doing Sanskrit now?

Amazon is simply "Aɲazon" IPA being [ɑɲɑʒon]. Just me working on it, I do use Sanskrit, Persian, Greek and Classical Greek as sources for the Conlang.

If we are talking about the books for linguistics I really didn't like my syntax book, but I do prefer linguistics to physics myself.

Cool. Any chance you have a linguistics society there? I selfishly ask because I set up this and I am trying to get more people involved from around the world.

Yup we have a linguistics club I could bug the president soon. I'm going to be doing a presentation on Amazon sometime later this year for the club too.

Interesting just wikied the case notes and it seems weird to have that instread just a locative. I wonder if he'll have something like the Russian Preposition Case.

Ablative is probably my favorite case, I use it heavily in one of my own Conlangs. Circumfixes are new to me, but I like the idea of them. I wonder how extensive the case system is and if the cases are regularized with the affixes. If not it could get a bit complicated to learn.

Faring well!

With my more extensive work in Conlanging I understand terminology a lot more and I can tell you than I can't wait to sink my teeth into Dothraki

If I had more time I would be speaking Na'vi, but since I'm more interested ASOIAF more than Avatar Dothraki is gaining more attention.

Hey Jenny!

Dothraki is looking to be a totally different more violent creature than Na'vi.
