I'll try to get something together for Sjoftenk.

I just liked the sound of it ;o) There is no etymology for it- really it's just a "working title" until I get around to conculturing for it and I didn't want yet another language name based on the words "latin" or "romance".

Brithenig, Kerno and Wenedyk would all have been challenging for me if only other people hadn't got there first ;o) if you know what I mean.
>Never heard of Rhendrin. What kind of language is that?
Rhendrin is spoken in the same conworld as Carashan and Aredos but is unrelated to them. It is spoken to the north of the Carashan-speakers. A quick sample: Fêacheth i mhach i choniona h-i ndariona. The language is supposed to resemble a mixture of Irish and Sindarin, and the grammar matches that somewhat.

Can't miss it in Wenedyk ;o) Dan -------------------------------- Pa vezer o vageal e bae Douarnenez e klever a-wechoù un trouz iskis: Kleier kêr Is a zo a seniñ dinandan ar mor.
