Feel free to use this thread to ask small questions or share random language / linguistics trivia, if you don’t feel like creating a new thread just for that.

(Just to be clear: yes, if you want to create a new thread for your question/trivia, you can. I’m only trying to stimulate discussion in the comm.)

    Might as well share some resources here:

    This channel is a godsend if you struggle with IPA or to pronounce specific articulations. It’s all ~1min videos, each highlighting a single consonant, in a neat moving diagram that shows how to pronounce it. Make sure the audio is on.

    Index Diachronica shows a bunch of sound changes across multiple language families. It is not an academic resource, take a grain of salt when using it, but it’s useful if you want to look for examples. Doubly so if you’re into constructed languages.
