I started working on a near-isolating engelang last year; here is my first
posting about it:
http://archives.conlang.info/ghau/goerthin/wuanphukhuen.html
It hasn't progressed very far, unfortunately -- I have a lexicon with
about 200 root words and a corpus of about 50 or 60 sample
sentences, but haven't worked on it since last summer. I started
writing up its grammar but haven't posted that anywhere yet.
Hopefully I'll get back to it soon.
