Welcome to the list! Happy to see you here. Since I went nomail on Conculture, I missed some people from there, including you :) .

I'm honoured :) .

Hanuman, where are you?! As Master Creolist of the list, you ought to speak up here :)) . Mathias, you're also welcome to discuss :)) . Personally, I don't have enough knowledge of creoles to help here :(( .
>While I'm at it, can anyone explain how to vocalize the symbol that looks >like an m-engma? Thanks!
Put your mouth like for a [v] (upper teeth against lower lip), but the teeth firmer against the lip, and nasalise the whole thing :) . Quite easy to pronounce (and quite easy to confuse with [m] :)) ). Christophe Grandsire. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
