A similar phenomenon is also found in French (1) and Portuguese (2)

But not in Spanish (3) and Italian (4)

(3) Para decirte (4) Per dirti

To all conlangers, I think this might interest you !

This website vulgarlang.com helps you generate a language based on the input you give. You can select your phoneme inventory, choose your phonotactics and the way your words can be derived to build nouns, adjectives adverbs and other derivatives. It comes up with some phonological rules of its own.

This is for the free version (there is a full version for $9.95) but you can still have some fun with the free version. 

For instance, this is some of the words and grammar the generator came up with based on the rules I have made for my developing conlang : 

If it’s your first attempt at conlanging (like it is for me) it might be a useful tool to get some ideas when you feel stuck. 

Enjoy  !
