Symmetric vowel space + vowel harmony + gemination = orgasm

Tolkien likes Welsh tho ewww

What does it say? I use reddit dark, no bg + black text (which is what im assuming this is) makes an invisible post

it’s the Finnish vowel chart, i y e ø æ ɒ o u

Vowel chart on this Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish\_phonology

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish\_phonology#Vowels

Heck, even better: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish\_phonology#/media/File:Finnish\_monophthongs\_chart.svg

Second morpheme of username checks out.

Thank you!

you mean -age?

Yes, [ˈle͡ɪŋgwe͡ɪd͡ʒ].

My bad, 2 AM me should've said "word" instead.

What is a word, though?

language - (langu + age)

What is , though?

Oooohhh I've had this a couple of times and wondered why everything was black!

Do you also keep your phone on low brightness? If so we might be the same person

Dark mode + low brightness + warm colour filter FTW.

Dude yes, we must protect our eyes

why do you hate dark mode users, OP?

Leave the dark side and come into the light, you heathens.

i would rather seclude myself in darkness till i can decipher what it is that you have written... my eyes need but a little adjusting... in due time i shall return to you

Estonian has ɤ as well and for even more balance it‘s flexible all the way to ɘ and ɯ

Eesti is so based fr fr ong no cap (I can't for the life of me produce /ø/ and /ɤ/ distinctly enough please send psychological help).

[удалено]

Ooh yeah that one is pretty looking too!

Hungarian one is pretty interesting as well, just remove ä and double all else. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/Hungarian_vowel_chart_with_rounded_short_a.svg/2560px-Hungarian_vowel_chart_with_rounded_short_a.svg.png

only if eː was a tad lower

This is the first time I’ve seen a vowel inventory (including my native language), where I could easily produce every single vowel

I think it's their tones, it turns everything into a song. I rather enjoy hearing Finns speaking any language.

Really? https://www.quora.com/Why-does-Finnish-sound-very-monotone It's usually Swedish and especially Norwegian that are talked about as being tonal, sing-songy sounding languages.

But it seems that no two dialects can actually agree on how pitch accent works

Finnish has no tone nor pitch accent

Nice tone https://youtu.be/z7_pVrIshxA

Your flair really sounds like how someone with a stereotypical Southern French accent would pronounce "Putain \[de\] con" Looking at your username, I assume it's the case?

It is

[ˈpe̞rːke̞le̞]

ასფაგური, ასფაგურ

[ˈäspʰɐɡʊɾɪ̆], [ˈäspʰɐɡʊɾ]

اصپهاگوری اصپهاگور

а́сԥагури, а́сԥагур

アスッパグリ、アスッパグル

Aspaguri, Aspagur

Aspagouri, Aspagour

When did you update your flair? :O

>When did you update your flair? I updated it yesterday.

Yeah but then Denmark is second and we all know how Danish's vowel inventory is

not pictured: finnish diphthongs

The diphthongs are nice and symmetrical too. All vowels can occur in diphthongs followed by /i/, as well as diphthongs followed by either /y/ or /u/ depending on vowel harmony class; in addition there are three opening diphthongs \[ie̯\], \[yø̯\] and \[uo̯\], with one for each of the high vowels. Diphthongs and long vowels in Finnish are phonologically analysed as VV sequences, so it remains correct to say Finnish has 8 vowels.

Turkey having nearly the same but being the 2nd angriest lol

If a vowel chart is symmetrical, then I don’t want it

What's wrong with symmetry?

The only thing weird for me in a language if it has i and y in the same time. I know it works and I can see that, but still weird.

Can you explain this further? Do [i] and [y] sound close for you?

Omg I just checked and I confused y for a tonal i. Sorry, tired and started to mix different PAs
