As I said, I'm pretty much an autodidact when it comes to linguistics - I've
got and read books from the local library and browsed the net.

How long I've been working, hmm a difficult question as it sort of "grew
out" of my imaginary world, orginally as little more than a tool for getting
names that sounded like the belonged to specific languages. In it's present
form, I've been working on it for approaching two years. It's become
relatively stable, with the phonology and basic grammar pretty much "fix",
but there's alot of detail and more complex grammar left to work out, and
the vocabulary isn't exactly huge yet ...
