While I'm on the subject, why did the adjective Talossán lose its final-syllable stress in the 2007-2014 language? And can we have it back?

It didn't. Talossan is pronounced with ultimate stress according to the stress rule.

It looks like all of these words are in l'Översteir already.

All right. Am I right that your Pienamaintsch could be rephrased in its entirety as:

Quote
[...]
3. All words ending in â in the pre-2007 Treisour are restored, with the final letter replaced by ă, although a is also acceptable. Replace word-final indamint with indămint.
[...]

Not quite. Prepositions that arent derivations of feminine nouns or adjectives (like contrâ or proftâ) don't get their  back (--> contra, profta), but some words that never had  under Ben's rules (like Rußïa, Tzaratütsch) do (--> Rußïă, Tzarătütsch).

Points 3 and 5 will definitely be the most tedious to implement because they affect a large part of the vocabulary, can't be automated and require some amount of technical knowledge.

The other points are so trivial (point 4 is just one search-and-replace command) that I could do them myself in 10 minutes tops.

So assuming the Pienamaintsch is acceptable like this: what happens next?

Let's see if this works.

Please let me know if I forgot about something. I tried to get this document up as quick as possible and its currently 4:40 AM...

EDIT: Considering how similar the Provisional Standard seems to be to the 2007-2019 CÚG spelling, honestly I'm surprised that you were so on board with it.

I have a question from the incoming Cultural Development Secretary. What is the SIGN process for formally adopting new Talossan words into the lexicon/Overstéir/Treisour?

I can think of two approaches:

• We could sift through recently published Talossan texts and check if they contain any new words that have become popular. We'd then vote on whether to add them in an upcoming Pienamaintsch.
• We could have a form where Ladintschen send us suggestions for new words and where the word comes from (as in the etymology for it), and then we'd vote on those suggestions as explained above.

This isn't a question of either/or, we could do both.

Sorry for not saying anything sooner. I'll see what I can do between exams.

I officially apply for SIGN membership.

As per Rule 3, you automatically become a member. Welcome aboard!

QuoteWhen are we going to have a website where the Official Rules are displayed? Or at least a TalossaWiki page?

That's an excellent question. I'm currently preoccupied with Uni stuff, otherwise I would do that myself.

Did I forget to clear my cache or am I really the only one who has contributed translations?

OK, it's official. I hereby declare SIGN open for business.

Alright folks. Those are the rules for the new SIGN, unless anyone raises any objections till, let's say, Monday?

QuoteRule 1
The name of this organisation is "La Società per l'Ilesnaziun del Glheþ Naziunal", or "SIGN" for short. SIGN's logo is a Bicoloreu circle with blue arrows coming out of it in every cardinal direction. The flag of the Talossan language and its speakers is a horizontal tricolour of black, white and grey in proportion 1:1:2.

Rule 2
SIGN's goals are
- to document, preserve and proliferate the Talossan language,
- to recommend a standard language for government use, and
- to provide glheþinations wherever they are needed.

Rule 3
Anyone who is interested can ask to join SIGN. If a majority of members support this, the applicant becomes a full member. If the applicant was a member of the Comità per l'Útzil del Glheþ as of Llimbaziuă 2019/XL, the voting is skipped and they become a full member immediately.

Rule 4
A SIGN member can suggest a change to the recommended standard language or this set of SIGN rules at any time. If at least a two-thirds majority of members support this, the change comes into effect on the last Sunday of the following month.

Rule 5
SIGN shall regularly publish a journal outlining upcoming changes to the standard or other information that could be relevant to the Ladintsch community. SIGN shall also keep all materials under its purview up-to-date at all times.

Am I just missing it, or is there not a way to change your display name?

On this day 39 years ago, King Ben created our national language, the Talossan language.
À'ceastă ziuă ja 39 års, Regeu Ben creava ár glheþ naziunal, el glheþ Talossan.
A c'dayeu pri 39 yeareux, Kingeu Ben haveu facescu l'lingeu naçãol noastra, l'lingeu d'Talossa.

Therefore I, the newly appointed benevolent dictator of SIGN, thought it was fitting to officially promulgate a new Provisional Orthography for use in Government work and bigger projects that would benefit from a common standard. Note that this standard is to be replaced by something more permanent and less dictator-y in the future, after SIGN has officially formed and my benevolent dictatorship ends.

I'd also like to announce that we are currently working on a Talossan translation of New Witt (for an especially immersive Ladintsch experience), and there are plans to update talossan.com and L'Översteir as they haven't been properly updated since, what, 2012? Both of them have been tremendously helpful tools for new learners in the past, in fact I learnt Talossan by reading through the grammar pages and experimenting with L'Översteir, so it'd be unfortunate if future new learners were to be confronted by outdated and sometimes flat out wrong info on our noble tongue.

I think it's safe to say that the era of lethargy is slowly but surely coming to an end. Stay tuned.

I wish everyone a happy Llimbaziuă!
¡Cheréu 'n feliciă Llimbaziuă à thoct!
Lleu wisheu 'n happyeu Dayeu d'l'Lingeu a alleux!

(And yes, the text in italics is written in the earliest attested form of Talossan. We've truly come a long way since 1980...)

Some tentative guidelines:

• Use the provisional spelling (please)
• Use "voi" forms
• If you're unsure on how to translate a word or set phrase, ask in this thread

Probably more to follow
