Re: Gotski
That's a nice read! Is there going to be any borrowing from Turkish, Italian or Albanian? Also, the greek influence, is that intirely through liturgical in origin? Does that also mean more Latin influence after the 1500's? Thanks! Yes, there will be other influences as well. I’ve just been focusing...

Re: Terghbaz (Generic Orkish)
By the by, what does this sound like so far? I’d kind of been going for “Slavic-influenced Germanic language”, but I don’t know if that’s what it actually sounds like. From what I've read so far, it feels heavily Slavic in character to me. I'm not quite picking up on Germanic (yet) but the corpus h...
