Okay, here goes:
Rokbeigalmki is spoken by the Rokbeigalm, a nation/tribe of semi-nomadic
ocean-central hunter-gatherers in the unexplored (read: undescribed by
JRR Tolkien) southern hemisphere of Middle Earth.  The Rokbeigalm and the
Drughu (Púkelmen, Drúedain, etc... Ghân-buri-Ghân's people in Lord of the
Rings) were originally one tribe back in the Awakening-Land of Hildórien,
but then split off - the Drughu going overland, and the Rokbeigalm going
oversea.  Later on, the human Rokbeigalm were joined by elves of the
Avari and Nandor (Sylvan) groups, many of who intermarried with the
humans, producing a diverse population of humans, elves, and people of
mixed descent.
My prototypical rokbeigalmkidh is Stíígiyus (Stygius), my character on
ElendorMUSH who is a member of the Beorning / Anduin Valley culture - he
settled down there after wandering the mysterious north for a few years.

My very-much-so in-progress romance conlang, Jûdajca, is spoken in the
nation of Jhûdâ (Judea) in an alternate timeline (possibly Ill Bethisad)
where the Romans were just slightly nicer to the Jews and didn't go on
such a revenge trip after the Bar Kokhba revolt.
