Re: Rick Morneau's Katanda?

Welcome to the list :)

I'm developing a language (Minyeva) that has roots in being a logical
language but has kind of strayed away from it just a little. It has some
interesting syntactic constructions that so far i have not seen in natural
languages. If you're curious, i don't have any grammar online, but i do have
some vocab and the babel text at my website http://minyeva.alkaline.org . My
plan is to labor over the meanings of all of the verbal-based words to
create an interesting semantic pattern across them. The distribution of
meanings will be very non-English.

As far as Katanda goes, the language looks really interesting to me too, and
i think it would be inspirational for me to learn the language to get ideas
for Minyeva. I'm about a week away from finals though, so i'll be tied up
for another week and a half with that. After that, though, i could spend
time learning it. (i probably wouldn't have enough motivation to learn it by
myself, without someone else also learning it).
