anyone interested in learning axunashin, please post here. zomp wants at least five poeple to sign up before he considers writing a course for the language.

My condolences. I guess that you really do have to be careful what you ask for...
I look forward to seeing the Old Skourene grammar, as well as the Axunashin course, once it's completed.
And to all of the eager prospective Axunashin students: I would counsel patience--writing a language course takes time! Please don't forget that Mark has a wife, a full-time job, a new home, two novels (IIRC) going back out to publishers, and a host of other things to take care of as well... (I only mention this to avoid a string of posts asking "When?!..", such as have appeared on a few previous occasions. )
Who invented this language? What languages is it based on?

Dear M Turtlehead,
kindly scroll up a few postings. When you find a posting by our Boardlord, Zompist, click on the little WWW button under it. It will take you to his homepage, which contains a wealth of information about the constructed world called Almea, including its language.
Hmm, nobody has told me if that's a good place to put the question word touno or not...
Heh, it looks like I don't have a sample sentence with touno. It can be seen as replacing an adverbial prepositional phrase, however, which normally goes after the subject and before the object.
Hey, it looks like you got the verbs entirely right, including the subjunctive. Good work! See, class, massive inflectional systems are easy!

Thanks! I hesitate to add my name to those interested in the course, because I don't know how much time I can devote to it. I'd like to follow it, though. I still remember my (semi-)promise to learn at least one of those Zompist's fascinating languages to some non-trivial level.
I'm glad to see it happening won't be up to me, though, since plenty of people have already signed up. I'll keep an eye out for what happens later
I''m interested too - tho' I won't be ready until I've finished the Verdurian Course. Speaking of which, I'll just log out and go and read Chapter Four.
I am interested in the course, but I probably will not have time this summer to learn it. Will this course be similar to the Verdurian one?

Dude, Isma?n is a total slut, and ugly to boot. What's wrong with you? Now, Flaidish, that's a nice cute conlang well worth your desire. ::shakes head:: Iesu! Isma?n!? What the hell were you thinking?
