If you think I missed any words, feel free to suggest them here.
Please let me know if there are any errors in this video, I'll fix them as soon as possible.

Alexandreu Furxheir became a citizen less than 2 years ago, how could he have satisfied the condition in Article X Section 5 of the OrgLaw?

I'm currently working on a translation of S:reu Tzaracompradas Book of Cuisine, and I noticed that we're missing some food words.

Thoughts?

I just hope that whoever my successor will be is gonna kick the Cosă into shape and turn it into a proper parliament.

Since this change would also involve changing the plurals of nouns ending in -rd from -rds to -rden, I will vote CONTRA.

Dear Members of SIGN,

Iac Marscheir has just proposed the following change to the pluralisation rule:
Add /ð/ to the list of phonemes that trigger <en> pluralization.

For context, right now the sounds that trigger an -en plural are [s z ʃ ʒ ʃt ʧ ʤ ʎ ɲ θ]

Please discuss and vote on this proposal in this thread. The people entitled to vote on this proposal are:
@Cresti da Ion Nouacastra-Läxhirescu, MSC - PER
@Françal I. Lux
@Iac Marscheir - PER
@Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial - CONTRA
@Miestră Schivă, UrN  - PER
@xpb

According to Rule 4 of SIGN, at least 4 out of 6 current members will have to accept this rule change before it can go into effect.

Have you ever had a question about the Talossan language but were too afraid to ask it? Would you just like to know how a certain word or name is spelled or pronounced? If so, please ask all your questions here, and I'll make a video where I'll (try to) answer them all!

But do we need to know how to pronounce them in order to learn them?

Yes, obviously! I've seen people who didnt know how to spell their own name because to them it's just a meaningless sequence of letters on a screen instead of real words. This country's cultural policy has been neglecting pronunciations of words since forever, when in any other language the spoken word is way more important than the written one.

I dont mean to attack your idea or anything, it's just that I think there are other ways of getting citizens to use Talossan more that might be more effective long-term.

It wouldn't be momentous or anything, but it would give visitors a sense of the language and maybe help encourage people to incorporate it a little bit more into their daily use.

Very much a "can't hurt, might help" kind of thing.

People are already struggling with the words and names that are in use (how many of you know how to pronounce glheþ, Ziu or Ian? No cheating!), adding even more to keep track of wouldn't help with that I don't think.

To be honest, I don't see the point of that.

Three things:

1) Nice!

2) Would you like to collaborate with me on like a Talossan language edition?

3) The newspaper name has a typo, it should be Tascaragnhă .

Two things:

@Mic'haglh Autófil  "Númerul dal Documenteu" is grammatically incorrect. "Documenteu" is masculine, so it would be "Númerul del Documenteu", but instead I'd suggest "Númeul da Documenteu" since it fits the style of the other labels, or its abbreviated form "N:reu da Doc." (yes, the abbreviated form of númerul is n:reu, don't ask me why.)

I still believe that there should be both the Talossan/English captions for Sex, even when it's unspecified.

If you mean that the sex should be listed in both Talossan and English, then linguistically there'd be no need for it. The Talossan and English words (maschcel ~ male, femnel ~ female) happen to have the same first letters, so listing it once would be sufficient. I havent read ICAO 9303 part 3 myself though, so maybe it's still necessary?

I struggle to see why we should add more bureaucracy and vanity (and ministerial burdens on some poor bloke), when we have passports and coats of arms and coins and stamps and so much else already.

We *do not* have passports.

@Marcel Eðo Pairescu Tafial, this offer is more than a year old.
But if you are still offering Talossan Language Translation Services then I would love to have the Talossan Book of Cuisine translated into Talossan so that we can offer it in both Talossan and English. I think it will work out to be maybe 20-25 pages. But later versions will likely be larger should the first version cause it to take off.

My offer still stands, but I'm currently busy with a Uni term paper. Please ask me again in 20 days.

I'm the contact for La Società per l'Ilesnaziun del Glheþ Naziunal (SIGN). I'd also ask for the threads "Discussion: Orthographic Reunision" and "Discussion: That durned î, re-revisited" to be removed since they were resolved years ago.
