Well, my projects so far under the Legratec(TM) rating with an
additional P category for phonology and S for script:
Quendian family:
Proto-Quendian L1 P4 S0 G1 T0 C0 total 6
Nur-ellen L2 P4 S4 G3 T1 C2 total 16
Caledonian L0 P1 S1 G0 T0 C0 total 2
Iverinic L0 P1 S1 G0 T0 C0 total 2
Macaronesian L0 P2 S1 G1 T0 C1 total 5
Miscellaneous alternative history languages (mostly Ill Bethisad stuff):
Germanech L2 P4 S4 G3 T0 C1 total 14
Bascitan L1 P2 S4 G2 T0 C0 total 9

Other stuff:

Trollish L0 P1 S0 G0 T0 C1 total 2
Toyish L0 P0 S0 G0 T0 C1 total 1
Morifairin L1 P2 S0 G1 T1 C3 total 8
Maltarian L1 P2 S0 G1 T0 C2 total 6
Drow (LT) L1 P1 S0 G0 T1 C0 total 2
2 alphabets (LT) L0 P0 S3 G0 T0 C0 total 3
Wow! Quite a lot of projects! Most of them, however, are little more
than just a few strokes of a draft of a sketch, or rather faint concepts
of such strokes.
(LT) stands for "lost treasure", i.e. an old, dead project of which
little or no material survives. The "2 alphabets" entry relates to two
conscripts I recently rediscovered, but of which I have not the faintest
idea for which languages I designed them. They seem, however, to be
related to each other.
The "9-phoneme IAL" is a yet unnamed not very serious attempt at an
auxlang.
I realize that the category "S" (script) raises problems with languages
intended to be scriptless, a condition which holds, amongs the conlangs
listed here, for Proto-Quendian and Trollish, possibly also Toyish.
Jörg.
