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) -- Carlos Th
