Two new things that might interrest you

1. My website is online now. It contains a manaki course, a manaki
dictionary and a conlang-link section. But the manaki on the site is better
and newer than the one I presented here, and for anybody who's interrested
in a simple, easy-to-learn, still-growing-vocabulary language, check it out.

2. I had the idea of creating a language that was hard to pronounce and
dark-sounding. Not because of complicated phonemes, but because of:
          1. The exclusive use of a and u as vowels.
          2. Many Consonant-Compounds that sound very similar (gsug and
gsguk
          and gskug and gskuk for example) that have quite different meanings.
          3. It has a grammar consisting entirely of 218 suffixes, that are,
          with the exception of a and u, CDCVC Syllables. (D and C are two
different groups of consonants.)

Here's an overview of the language which has many names (including
Hard-to-learn-lang, gives-me-aheadache-lang and I-hate-it-lang ;) ):
C=p,t,k ([g],[t],[k])
D=s,sch,r,ch ([s],[S],[r],[x])
V=a,u
