Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

My IE conlang could have either 'suarrei' or 'farrei'. /f/ is only from loanwords right now.
('conlang' is an abbreviation; depending on how the passive participle works, the full form would be something like xomlanzhumanyk̂einuo, which is terrible. also this is my IE conlang but i am not sure about word order or how verbs work yet. or how adverbs work. 'widok' is a loan, it probably shouldn't be)
