new vocal effect idea: transfer human vowels/formants to an animal's vowel/formant range
@kitlith @raspberry I suspect @lightspill will see this, but just in case - I think they came up with at least one constructed language specifically designed around the sounds a certain creature could likely make (crocodiles?)…
@digitalfox@yip.vulpine.engineer @kitlith@rubber.social @raspberry@fursuits.online Yes! That's why there are no labials.
@digitalfox@yip.vulpine.engineer @kitlith@rubber.social @raspberry@fursuits.online And a lot more alveolar/palatal/velar triples since with a longer mouth I'd expect them to be more easily distinguished.
@lightspill @kitlith @digitalfox that tracks! I was toying with the idea of a raccoon only being capable of [ɸ] in place of [f] because of a lack of fine lip/jaw control/closure. Vowels... still working on
today I discovered I am not the only phd student in my cohort who has drawn diagrams of non-human vocal tracts to figure out what vowels an animal is capable of
