Frankly I wasn't even interested in conlanging back then. I only started conlanging when I was 16, and of course, my first conlang was essentially a clone of German with some odds and ends and a horribly inconsistent sound. Ayeri still lacks linguistic background and a couple of complicated twists (such as several conjugations and stuff), but I don't feel like recreating it from scratch.
