I don't mind saying.  I'm male.

Ky'Rin is a language of "bits" where many bits make up words.  It
was designed based on 13 elements (ex. earth, fire, water, chaos,
etc), and the idea of adding on bits that mean "the color of" or "the
smell of".  It was the first language I began designing and it's
currently going thru some heavy editing except that I'm taking a
break from it for a bit.

mya$talyg is an attempt at making a language with definite rules
for bringing words over from American English into it easily.  $ = sh
as in sheep.  It has 14 letters, 5 of them vowels.  Each vowel is
pronounced. So soyel is actually so-y-el.  This is the language I'm
actively working on right now.  Unfortuantely I haven't got the hang
of explaining the sounds for each letter except as used by me in
other words.  Ex.  y = the long e as in "see" or "sea".

My in-laws live down near Ithaca and a friend of mine grew up near
Clifton Part so I know both places.  :-)
