speak things in conlangs!
In this subreddit, you can submit sentences or phrases in your conlang, and also try to pronounce things in other people's conlangs.

So, I created a new conlang to try out some phonological features to see how they sound. Below, I made a sample sentence to test it out.
The stress falls on the rightmost heavy syllable (any syllable with a long vowel) in the word. If all syllables in a word are light, then the penultimate syllable is stressed.
Duba tepe, watutaa gaaxu timine linii kenee pukadee.
/'du.ba 'te.pe wa.tu.'tɑː 'gɑː.xu ti.'mi.ne li'niː kɛ.'neː pu.ka.'deː/
"One day, I will build you a big house that we can live in."

I do a pretty bad job of making sound natural or even good, so help would be awesome :)

Okay, so I just started a conlang, and I want to be able to get the feel for it. Thanks!
The sentence below translates to "The man goes to the store to buy fruit."

From my observations, the pinned request threads have mostly caused the visibility of the requests to decrease. From this point forward, all requests will be full posts, and the biweekly thread will be discontinued. Thanks y'all!
This thread will be posted biweekly as a place to hold small (1-2 sentence) requests for others to speak your conlang. A longer passage should be flaired as a Request.
Top-level comments should always be requests. Replies can be any type of feedback or question about the request.
Someone will help you with your request, but it may take a while. Wait a few weeks before requesting the same audio again.
