Well, things are starting to wind down at work, so I might actually have
time to participate in this one, and it sounds interesting. I suppose I'd
have to go with Jarrda as the language, since it has the most complete
on-line description of any of my languages (lacking mainly information
about verbs and conjunctions, which I could put together in a weekend but
never got around to it), and a good-sized vocabulary (although many basic
words are missing from the dictionary on my web page; I haven't had time =
to
go over the initial batch of randomly-generated words and revise them).
