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.

I think it turned out looking rather Italian-dialect-y. Queiro should probably be vèlo instead, that way too it's less Spanish.

But especially Italianate. If you ask me you should probably use cupio or some other largely ignored verb.

Jèu'm surprènd que pòs recordarme de com scrèvro el dravean sènsa l'azoita del mèi diçunare. Jèu san drèiro de stentar, bevènd na cerveiça, e pòs za scrèvro le sentense samplecei.
I shock myself that I can remember how to write in Dravian without the aid of my dictionary. I've just finished work and I'm drinking a beer, and I can still write simple sentences.

This looks like cheating, and it probably is, but it has its own orthography, phonology and grammar.
