[...] Wow. Impressive! It sounds rather Spanish to my untrained ears... is this intentional?

[...] I couldn't detect any American accent in it. (By which I assume you mean American English.) It does sound a bit like Spanish. But then again, I don't know what Asha'ille is "supposed" to sound like. :-P Also, the sounds are a lot more connected than I thought. Now I'm getting scared about recording samples of my conlangs... I seem to want to articulate every word individually, to a point it'd definitely not sound fluent. T -- English has the lovely word "defenestrate", meaning "to execute by throwing someone out a window", or more recently "to remove Windows from a computer and replace it with something useful". :-) -- John Cowan
