Thank you! :-) I think it's kind of amazing that you've been
expecting me so much. But that really makes me happy.

Hi! :-) I only have Koni so far, but I hope there will be
more languages to come.

It would indeed be nice to see some of the languages created by other people. :-)

Well, the Russian influences are the prepalatized vowels,
and some of the signs used in the Koni ortography, and
then there is the verb morphology that's very Spanish.
When and if I make a new language I'd like to not do it
a European one. Not that there's anything wrong with the
European languages, but it would be nice to try something
different. :-)

Yes. I'm really lucky to even have a boyfriend, but even
more lucky to have found one who is a conlanger.
