You know, there's a reason why I should try to type at 5:30 in the morning. To paraphrase Ian Holm in "Greystoke" -- "Families, John. Families." And, given the fact that it's 5:45 a.m. CST, I'm also surpised the rest of that was as coherent as it was. What I forgot to mention was that I want to develop these languages to have a European sound and feel but with completely different roots for the words, and develop orthographies for the main languages so that they look and sound like known European languages and language families but have a completely different root and history. So Alorré will hopefully look and sound something like French, Escossan like Spanish, Arthain like English, etc. I plan to do all the sound changes of each language before I do the orthographies, so that I can arbitrarily assign the orthographies to fit whatever language I'm trying to echo.
