Well, I know I'm late, but I want to give my ratings too :) : Moten: L3 G5 T2 C? P5 S4 (8/15 or 16/25, conculture is irrelevant for Moten) Azak: L1 G5 T0 C0 P5 S4 (5/20 or 13/30) Reman: L2 G4 T1 C1 P4 S5 (8/20 or 17/30) Notya: L1 G3 T0 C2 P5 S5 (6/20 or 16/30) Astou: L1 G4 T0 C3 P4 S5 (8/20 or 17/30) Tj'a-ts'a~n: L1 G3 T0 C2 P4 S3 (6/20 or 13/30) Chasmäöcho: L1 G3 T1 C? P5 S5 (5/15 or 15/25, conculture irrelevant for it) Itakian: L0 G1 T0 C0 P4 S3 (1/20 or 8/30) O: L0 G4 T0 C? P5 S5 (4/15 or 14/25, conculture irrelevant again :) ) Narbonósc: L1 G4 T0 C1 P4 S4 (6/20 or 14/30) Arabo-Romance: L0 G0.5 T0 C0.5 P0.5 S0.5 (1/20 or 2/30, brand new project! :) ) 11 languages, but all of them rather sketchy. Since my interest lies more on phonology, morphology and syntax than on lexicon and conculture, that explains the disparities in ratings :) . Moreover, for many of my projects a conculture is irrelevant, so I couldn't give a rating for it for them (especially for Chasmäöcho which is supposed to be a personal language, or for O which is a completely forgotten project of mine :) ).
