Reformed, Teutonic English

   Hi everyone,

   I'm fairly new to the list, but I wanted to share an idea I am having
for my own conlang: Reformed Teutonic English.

   It's basically an experiment to test my langing skills and to explore
the evolution of English.

   RTE is based on Standard English, with several sharp differences: plural
formation, reformed spelling, and vocabulary.

   My ideas thus far are to reinstate all of the -(e)n and vowel plurals
that have switched to -(e)s, clean up Latin borrowings by using their
original plural forms, and reform the spelling.

   I don't plan on bringing back case or gender distinction, although I
would distinguish between nominative and genitive where applicable (i.e.,
my wife's [weifs] vs. the wifes [weivz] or wolf's [wulfs] vs. wolves
[wulvz].

   Anyone else who has similiar ideas or some pointers or advice, contact
me! I plan to take this as far as I can go, and any help would be
appreciated.

   Thanks!
