Marcel, why:

• do you have /k/ for q, when all materials actually show that "q" is a distinct phoneme [c~kʲ],
• do these words show a glide: "cioveci" (which should be [t͡ʃoˈvet͡ʃ]), "(t)irh" (which should be [(t)i(ː)ʃ]),
• do you write -r [ʃ] for the infinitive, but the future suddenly has a -h- inserted before the suffixes, when pronunciation of the /r/ as [ʃ] does not change?

I have now made a Google document for creating a corpus and I NEED THE HELP OF ALL THE SIGN MEMBERS PRESENT OR FUTURE! If you want access to the Google Document, please drop me a line, and I will provide you with a link!

Yeah, L has a bunch of different pronunciations...

I am pretty sure /l/ is [ð] in intervocalic position, and not just word-initally after a vowel (which is "Vl", so that is not strictly word-initally, but I guess this means "#Vl"?).

Also, a /l/ between vowels is a [ð].

I understand, but I do not necessarily appreciate, that tone of voice, I'm sorry.

I am not sure what "deadlock of the past two years" you speak of. We had proposed to do background work – research and corpus production, if you will – to come up with material to compare and see where consensus and commonalities could be found, and where we could find crass divergences, which would eventually have to be streamlined into one recommended "Unified Standard".

Extant materials are not plentiful, but they CAN be found. I would love for people to maybe help me in my project of compiling a corpus. I might upload an Excel sheet that everybody can work on.

Generally speaking: this is not the time to make language policy. This is the time to invest in research, codification and corpus-building.

I still hate the traditional orthography, because it has so many redundant diacritics.

I do have a problem with "unilateral" and "subject only to countersignature by the Ministry of Justice".

I disagree. Having a "centralised" forum means that everything is a hodgepodge of relevant and irrelevant stuff. I would love to find all the relevant decisions and announcements of Ministry X, but I do not want to sift through every single crap that other Ministries have published.

Also, I *believe* that dedicated subfora might actually be an incentive for activity, because stuff would be neater. Why not give it a shot, and if it DOES NOT work, we can still migrate threads and disable them? I mean, it really would not hurt.

I wonder why we do not have a subforum for every ministry? When I was a Minister or a Deputy, I always had to post things with "[MINISTRY] Topic" as a header. And ultimately, it just gets lost.

Why not have every Ministry have their own little forum where they can post updates, and where citizens can turn to if they have grievances, or requests, or whatever?

Is there anyone that wants to do the job?

Also, can anyone please tell me: WHY this colour palate? It makes my eyes hurt, and I mean that literally. Can I change this to nice shades of bright white, cream and beige, or something? I have finally changed the layout and look. This is nice.
