What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Though the big news is @quothalinguist.bsky.social's new book #TheConlangGuide from @universitypress.cambridge.org is now available, she also created a tremendous resource for designing a #conlang stress system. It’s the #FiatLingua article for 2025 and available for download now! fiatlingua.org
