R: Back to Conlang

Ciao! Sono contento di trovarti qui!

I see that the recent discussion on Aleppe has been useful : )

> * Kluna (a set of related dialects, currently under heavy revision;
> very poor lexicon;  one translation, likely not in line with
> final grammar when revision will end).
>
> * Anawanda (grammar nearly finalized with ready for publication
> HTML docs;  nearly inexistent lexicon;  no text available).
>
> * Heichi (grammar finalized, docs in order although sketchy;  poor
> lexicon;  one original text).
>
> * Gwalan (grammar sketched, but needs more reflection;  no lexicon,
> no text).
