re: request for help
@violet I'm looking for something that basically says
"the average language has between 20–30 segments (depending on how you define segment)"
I just want to get a basic idea of "how many sounds an average language has"
request for help
Actually, I'm more interested in the average number of *phonemes* in a language, which should be much easier to know
request for help
I'm trying to find somewhere that will tell me the average number of segments in a language, but I can't seem to find anything.
Does anyone know of a database or resource that has an answer to this? I don't need it to be an accurate answer, but I do need it to be justified
so ['fɔɪ.bɫ] (phoible) has a list of phonetic segments (sounds) used in all the world's languages. There's approximately 2,160 segments.
1,800 of them are in less than 1% of the world's languages.
Only 19 of them are in more than 50% of languages.
re: meta, image descriptions
@chao I think the problem is that most images can be described with a sentence or a paragraph, but comics require a script, so any solution that's good for comics probably isn't so good for anything else
@Quinntessential oh dear, that's not a fun feeling...

meta, image descriptions
@chao problem with this approach: different languages do directionality differently.
so even though Japanese is often written top→bottom and left→right, you read comics from the right panel to the left panel.
So a japanese user drawing rectangles on a comic will expect the top right rectangle to be "before" the top left rectangle, whereas an english user will expect the opposite

I played it for a while.
It was good, but not the kind of game I can focus on for more than an hour before I get drained.
