Sounds like generic Vietnamese pop song.
>>60682205
Because it is generic pop song.

vowel length isn't contrastive in Russian
short/long vowels exist, but they are not recognised as different in meaning, they simple "feel better" in this or that context

>just two sibilant pairs
>tfw in your language you can make verbs from nouns
>thus:
>reggeli -> reggelizni
>ebéd -> ebédelni
>vacsora -> vacsorázni
>also you can give it a preverb for good measure:
>megreggelizni
>megebédelni

tfw you can chainlink words in order to be flexible if you have to define new stuff.
Warentrennstäbe!
>>60682512
What's a sibilant pair?
>>60682582
I'm pretty sure everybody does that.
>>60682604
Normal languages do that
>>60682609
contrastive set of voiced/unvoiced sibilants based on their place of articulation
s/z [ts/dz], š/ž [č/dž]
based Polish has also ś/ź [ć/dź]

>6 tones
I tried learning Vietnamese once, the tones were a clusterfuck. Especially ngã, how the fuck do people pronounce that?

Same as hỏi actually, especially for southerners, northerners pronunce them differently tho.

>your
>>60682773
I still don't know what that means but we do have c,č,s,š,z,ž,dž,dz. But the latter two are not used very often. I think the last one is only used in my dialect and only in one word (gypsy - in standard Slovene it's cigan, but in Upper Carniolan it's dzgən).

Wow, such a linguist. Aren't you supposed to cherish dialects, my friend? Don't want to learn more about dialects, pal?

I know these aren't pair but don't like these very much
I don't have ears to recognize the difference
>>60683108
palatalisation isn't contrastive in Russian
only kinky Asian languages put actual contrast on pal/asp
>>60683027
Because no one except for a couple of autists from sosach wants it. Deal with it.
>>60683086
no because there's only one poster from Górna Kraina and it's always you
literal cancer, any linguistic discussion is swamped with your uninformed babbling about muh dialects
shit you don't even need a trip I recognise your posts by punctuation
>>60683160
>palatalisation isn't contrastive in Russian
What are you talking about? Palatalized consonants are phonemic in Russian.

Disgusting
>>60683206
You mean proper punctuation. I'm not the only one, actually; I'm just the outspoken one. This is /int/, we're supposed to learn about other cultures and tell others about our own. I don't see what's wrong with writing a bit about my dialect.
Also, my "uninformed babbling" is still much more constructive than your linguistic big words that nobody understands because we're on 4chan and not at a linguistic conference.

I ended up with an intelligent North-Western dialect anyway.

your ancestors will speak Polish
>>60683387
>American """""dialects"""""
>>60683395
huh nice
Polish would just use ɕ, as s' is reserved exclusively to /_[hi] context in non-slavic words
thanks for clarification
>>60683490
Oh, my mistake. I should've double-checked my grammar.
>>60683374
then participate in linguistic discussions as an actual informative poster
read some basic handbook like Yule and try to find some publications about Slovenian phonology and grammar
>>60683563
>participate
kek, I did until you sperged out. Also, I do read about my language from time to time. I have a collection of different texts on Slovene from the internet saved on my computer.
>>60683511
You're welcome. Btw, even if there were no minimal pairs, it would still be considered a separate phoneme as long as these two sounds can exist in the same surrounding.
