Re: Rosetta Stone idea

This got me thinking of another project: Construct The Proto-Lang.  I have
a cluster of three languages all descended from a common source, and I've
always wondered if the proto-language I have designed is actually
reconstructible from the daughter languages.  So if anyone else has a
similar cluster of related languages, I'd love to do a swap and each see
if we could analyze each other's languages.  They wouldn't need to be
fully developed (mine aren't), as I think we'd probably just do word-lists
and maybe some morphology and see what the other person comes up with.

Any takers?

Hmm, this is just what I've been wanting to do with Nindic, Silindion and
Sulindoric, although I've already constructed some of their proto language,
Silinestic. However, it could be interesting to see what happens if anothe
person studies the languages.
