OK - my info is all in the public domain in any case. But a couple of
warnings:
- you will need a browser that handles Unicode properly & font that
supports IPA.
- this part of my website is currently under revision.

The names of the Conlangs are now different as conlangers may recall from
an email I posted on 4th Jan. Indeed the web-pages contain merely the
nicknames. The two versions of 'briefscript' now have proper names, thus:
- the older name 'briefscipt' (quoted) shall replace the cumbersome BrSc
(which was not my invention anyway);
- the language nicknamed BrScA is now named Bax /'baça/;
- the language nicknamed BrScB is now named Brx (pronunciation not
finalized - possibly /pilESE/).

In fact, the new Brx means the info on BrScB is now a tad out of date -
but the principals are much the same.

- answers your three questions as regards Bax.

- answers your three questions as regards Brx.
