...that I call Valerian (or Valeric, which as an afterthought is a more appropriate English name for the language, taking after the precedent of using the PIE -ekh ending for designating languages, e.g. Aramaic, Syriac, French, English, etc...). I've posted the grammar here on the Wiki.
- A little about myself -
I've been interested in linguistics for years, but only in conlangs about five years ago when I started experiencing with a vulgar Latin. After that, I then became interested in developing a PIE workable language, which is still in the works to this day. This language began with two words - ana zhelo (still don't know the IPA for this, but if you look at the grammar on the wiki, you should get the idea) - which mean "I love you" as a way of saying something to my vira in a fanciful manner. From this, I developed the language based on sound. It started to be consonant-vowel or vowel-consonant-vowel only, but after becoming too monotonous I decided to have certain grouped consonants that flow together, such as nd or gn etc... be available. Still, though, the basic premise remains that it cannot be a strain to say. This is why you won't see any k's, kh's, t's, th's (not thorn or eth, but the T-aspirant), p's, b's (the b is closer to the Spanish b, not the English b) or that funny back-in-the-throat r's.
Any comments or criticisms are welcome.
