Same here, although most of mine have at least tentative names. My most
recent project is called Hlererhoi, although I don't have enough written
yet to talk about. It may end up going nowhere, like most of my previous
sketches.

Jarrda is the major language that I've been working on over the last =
year.
The basic idea of Jarrda is to avoid being a clone of English by =
designing
it from the point of view of an alien society. Although the background of
Jarrda has changed, I currently envision it as the language of a
mixed-species society of furry people and fairies living on a planet of =
the
star Procyon.

Other significant languages I've worked on include Olaetyan (my first
language, spoken by humans from a planet in the Gamma Pavonis system),
Cispa (the primary language of the Mizarian rat-people), Zirinka (one of
the languages of the Zireen, small furry people from a planet called
Reeshai), Zharranh (the language of the Kireethin, another furry alien
species), and Eklektu (an experimental language whose vocabulary is =
derived
from a number of different natural languages from around the world).

computer game _Ultima VI: The False Prophet_. A description of Gargish, =

the language is informally called, is on the Origin Worlds Online =
