New Conlang: Ai Glwssai (LONG?)

This information pertains to <AI ¦£¦«¦¸¦²¦²¦¡¦©> [aj GlwOhaj], a
Greek-derived (specifically, Ionic dialect) language with Romance-inspired
vowel shifts and Celtic-inspired lenition and nasalization. It might be
spoken in Massilie/Marseille ([jE vahilejE]?) or the valley of the
Rhodanus/Rhone [O rODanO]. I¡¯m submitting this to CONLANG since I don¡¯t
know whether this should go in Romanceconlang, Celticonlang, or
Slaviconlang.
