my language has 17 vowels

can you guess which country I'm from?

Sweden.

Apparently Ithkuil (a conlang) has 17 vowels, here is an example of it: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e5/Ithkuil_sentence.ogg

I'd probably say Sweden though. Or maybe England, depending on your dialect and accent.

Why did they upload somebody vomiting?

I really dig the writing system of that ugly-ass language, though.

you can be from any country and speak a language with 17 vowels hurf durf

But it wouldn't make sense to call it your language, then.

My language has two vowels and eighty-four consonants. Suck it.

Swedish dose not have 17 vowles :P

We have 3 more than everyone else Å(å), Ä(ä) and Ö(ö).

>For passages taking up more than one line, as in general narrative passages or “paragraphs,” the script is normally written in a vertical boustrophedon fashion (Greek for “as the ox plows”); specifically, it is written in vertical columns starting at the upper left of a page, with the first column being written top-to-bottom and each character oriented sideways and opening downward, then reversing direction in the second column and being written bottom-to-top with each character facing or opening upward. Each line continues this “zig-zag” approach from the left side of the page to the right, every other line running one direction as opposed to the preceding and following lines. This is illustrated by analogy with Roman letters to the left and can be seen in the sample of an Ithkuil passage below.

That language is insane, that's all there is to it

I gave you a hint...

>>11
Did you actually read that passage, or were you just scared by how long it is?
That's an awesome yet simple approach to writing vertically. When reading Chinese/Japanese vertically, you need to move your eyes twice as much as with that language.

That you only have 8 letters to represent vowels doesn't mean your language actually only has 8 vowels. English too has much more than just the 5 Italian vowels (a dozen or so, depends on the accent), but the Brits didn't invent extra-letters for them.

Karbadian?
To me, Polish and Czech sound like the description might fit, though.

>13
Why alternate the direction of the characters though? I don't see how that makes it more efficient.

My language has 10 vowels.
a, e, i, o, u, â, ê, î, ô, û,
Can you guess my language?

>>15
That way you know at the first glance whether you need to read up- or downwards, instead of having to count the columns.
And the writer can purposely make the reader read the first line from bottom to top. Very convenient for stuff written on the street surface, or advertising banners.

a e i o u y ä ö aa ee ii oo uu yy ää öö

My language has 16 vowels

Plus å, making it technically 17, but it's the same sound as o.

>>18
Finnish

You've lost. You needed to google the name.

It's Ubykh, and unfortunately it's now a dead language.

My language has no vowels.
How does he speak?
Terrible!
