Brithenig as Florinese? Pushing the envelope into a parcel-shaped parcel I
think just a tad.  A quick skim through the original book version shows
that people in Florin have names like Buttercup, Wesley and Morgenstern.
I have no doubt that Florinese would make a great Romance conlang but I
would suggest that it has heavy Anglo-Germanic influences.  Or maybe
Yiddish!
