lately, Is this world an "alternate Earth", or a completely different planet? If the latter, what are the people like? Human/Humanoid?

Personally, Torantine is the one which most tickles my aesthetic fancy, both in appearance and sound (going by the pronunciations you gave). I love the fact that you've used "ä" for /ai/ - that's very much like what my first two languages, Choba and Osë, do: "ä" = /aj/, "ë" = /ej/, "ö" = /oj/. You're the first other conlanger I've ever encountered who did that too! Great minds think alike, obviously. :) Not sure what you mean by "plausible" - unless you're trying to create a language which would belong in an actual language family *here*, I suppose pretty much anything is plausible! I certainly wouldn't mind seeing more of Torantine, though. Got any grammar you could show? Thomas
