I do, very much so. Old Albic is not meant to be a solitary language; I am
planning to build an entire family around it, and already have drafts of the
sound changes. I have concrete plans for at least four further Albic
languages, some ideas for a few more, and Albic will in turn be part of a
larger "Hesperic" language family.
What regards Henrik's original question, I don't find it all to difficult
to come up with a satisfying phonology. That, like morphology and syntax,
is an easy part to me. I have difficulties with vocabulary.
