Well, for my wish list
Conlangs:
1. fonno chleweye (Chleweyish): as it's suposed to be my personal language,
and wouldn't be a personal language if I'm not a little fluent in it.
2. NGL: for mostly, the same reasons than Mia.
3. Rithian: my first (cryptic/personal) conlang... if I ever reconstruct
it.
4. Brithenig... or some other conlang from a fellow list member... Tokana?
Teonaht?
5. Hangkerimce: even if fluency in Hangkerim languages is not my goal, I
feel I have to achieve some proficiency in order to realy understand their
culture.
Natlangs:
1. English: I mean, being as fluent in English as I'm in Spanish, or a
little better in both of them.
2. Swedish: I really love this language and since I have begun to job in a
Swedish owned company...
3. Colombian Signed Language: before I complete forget it and because is a
neat and pretty descriptive language.
4. Japanese: as beginning with a non-IE spoken language, and since my
parents are now living in Yokohama...
5. German: probably as a reaction against most people around me wanting to
learn French or Italian as third language (and that's way neither French or
Italian are in this wish list)
