Re: A question about language-naming

Conlang names as RL language names...hm.

My most developed languages were/are:

Hligu, Gamyar, Vranian (Vranski), Dalmatian, Madzhi, Nyena'a.

There is a natlang called Dalmatian - that's where the basis for my
Dalmatian came from. When I did a search for Vranian, I found that it was
an Armenian surname.

For Gamyar I found only links to my language, including one amusing one:

http://ix.db.dk/webportal4/Ildas%20vidensbank.htm

Amusing, because I think the site owner thinks it's serious...

For Hligu, I found absolutely nothing.

For Madzhi, I've found something to do with Malaysia, and something from
Russia, while for Nyena'a I found again absolutely nothing.
