OK, since everybody else is playing this game:
CONLANGS:
1. Sindarin, because then there would be two of us! :-)
2. Quenya -- eh, well...
3. Akhelin and Funus -- my own! :-|
4. The conlang of the Medieval Islamic Hurufi sect -- lost my info on it! :[
5. Briefscript, once Ray gets it done! :-)
IN-BETWEENER
Bahasa Indonesia -- my first for-no-reason self-study, unfinished!
NATLANGS:
1. Finnish, because my inlaws speak it!
2. Tibetan -- properly, at last!
3. Welsh and Basque, to protect ECEL (Endangered Cool European Languages)
4. Tamil, because it's cool!
5. Some polysynthetic language.
DEAD LANGS:
1. Latin -- prevent myself from losing what I have!
2. Sanskrit -- same reason!
3. Ancient Greek -- mostly lost it already!
4. Ancient & Middle Persian -- work-related, kinda (Should go on to modern...)
5. Egyptian -- recorded during 4000+ years, wow!
May I go on? ;-)
