Re: Why conlang

Why I conlang. When I started out, it was just for one simple
reason: because I could. When I discovered the concept of concultures, I
started Brzhonegh, which was a Bretonised Romance language, but
unfortunately I lost all the documentation for that. Then there was
Vranian, which was the language for the micronation which a number of my
friends and I started. The country still exists and is thriving, but the
language basically merged with Serbo-Croatian; "Vranian" now is basically
Croatian written in Glagolitic and with a number of Slovenisms.

My current project, Dalmatian, is the most developed of all my purely
conlang efforts, with a mass of cultural information on the
Dalmatians. So, since Dalmatian started, I conlang as part of the over
"Dalmatian" thing, which includes conculture. Why do I do this? Because as
someone noted before, I have control over the history and development of
an entire nation, its people, its language, its history. It's sort of an
outlet where I can put every little facet of me as well as things I wish
were facets of me into something that is independent of me.
