Gevey is the result of the breakdown of such a system. I've documented the
history of the language on my website at
     http://www.kalieda.org/gevey/stories/history.html
for those who are interested.

I've not yet developed any of the sister languages of Gevey, nor any of the
parent languages. An overview of the languages of my constructed world can be
found at
