To compile a link list of sound changes from proto-langs, con-proto-langs, and even just sound changes in general. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIE_sound_law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Germanic_language#Pre-Proto-Germanic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P...

If I may be allowed to coordinate a vote? By Saturday, May the 7th, all people who wish to learn must state their intent, and all conlangs to be offered must be nominated by someone (creator or not). Then, there will be one week to discuss and vote. Voting will be simple: give each conlang a YES (I...

I'm not certain what the alignment would be called, but here's how Galleme is structured: Nominative Agent Irajedme tera Ira-j-ed-me te-ra go-ind.-compl.past-1st.sg.Active Pers.Pron.2nd.sg.-Dat/Lat I went (willfully) to you Nominative Patient Irajedmi tem Ira-j-ed-mi te-ra go-ind.-compl.past-1st.sg....

I want to learn! I want one with a small/average phonology though. I've made a few, but I'm still deciding how I want to do it. I've gained a liking for Agglutinating langs.
