So if we take a Vulgar Latin corpus, say, run it through a Sumerian grammar and script, tossed in some grammatical features from a northern Greek dialect and pronounced the whole thing like a North American language, then we should be able to reconstruct Atlantean according to Milo Thatch. Sounds rather easy actually. ;) - andrew. -- Andrew Smith, Intheologus hobbit@griffler.co.nz alias Mungo Foxburr of Loamsdown http://hobbit.griffler.co.nz/homepage.html
