Hey all,
on Tuesday the third lesson of my conlanging class took place. We discussed non-pulmonic consonants and other consonants that are not included on the IPA chart. Then we went through the most important diacritical marks, and as this took quite a while, we didn't have that much time left. After briefly talking about suprasegmentals (incl. intonation and tone), I presented the difference between orthography and romanisation based on examples from Japanese and Russian.
I hope we'll finish the phonology lesson next time; what's left is just the difference between phoneme and phone, and while that will take a while to explain, I'm already excited for the unit after that: morphology!
See you in two weeks!
