I think I am; But, for the purposes of the Big Game, a few details
need to be settled about the conworld.
For those conlangs that have definite ancestors *here*, there exists the
problem of anachronism. That is, the speakers of Vulgar Latin could not
become the inhabitants of the conworld simultaneously with the speakers
of Proto-Indo-European, etc. (unless we indroduce some weird time loops
- which I don't exclude either). But a simpler solution would be many
independent migrations from *here* to *there* (during some cataclisms,
maybe?).
How old is Waponi language, BTW?
