Actually, Vorlin was designed as an IAL, though its creator has since abandoned auxlangs, and therefore abandoned Vorlin. He has left us a website (http://www.vorlin.org/) as a historical reference, and there is still a dormant Yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vorlin/). This was one of the few auxlangs, I actually liked well enough to want to learn, but it just wasn't developed enough, nor did it have any community to converse with, so I ultimately began work on my own world auxlang Sasxsek, as well as a number of other projects (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dana_Nutter_Conlangs) which I may or may not finish someday depending on how much time my other interests take up. ------------------------------ deinx nxtxr / Dana Nutter LI SASXSEK LATIS. http://www.nutter.net/sasxsek
