Subject: Phonology-Ortography-Interpretation-Game-Idea-Anniversary


Bit weird mail-subject but cycling back from work to home I thought up the 
next: what if we play this game (or whatever you want tocall it, 
investigation or so) we record soundfiles in our dialects and the other ones 
have to analyse, from their own dialect on, the sounds being heard.
I thought this could maybe give everyone more insight in the spelling 
systems they use, and also insight in the phonologies of everyones dialects 
(both the sound file guy and the ones that interpretate). And phonetics in 
general maybe too.
This might be a stupid idea so don't feel rude to tell so (I'm just tired so 
don't know anymore what I'm posting :p)
Idea isn't very worked-out yet either.

(PS the "anniversary" stands for the fact that we already have written and 
recorded many anniversary translations so these could be used as well ;))
(came at the idea because there was some posting about the Antw. vowel 
system, "e" being [I] etc, and the West-Flemish Wren version tijdje [tIdje] 
even longer ago)
