Re: Conlang Web pages Top 10

I can't refuse a plug for my conlangs, even though I'm a hardy lurker.
:c)  So here goes...
        I have seven languages that have any vocabulary worth mentioning:

1. Vidda: My first language, pretty much freestyle, based mainly on
invented words, and having little grammar to speak of.  An example:

Itta dren=F6 hetis ignast l=EBmenor. [This is my first language.]

2. Shevrew: My second language is my poorest.  It is an ignorant
interpretation of Hebrew, but completely random.  I've always considered
it so horribly bad, I use it as the language of goblins in my stories (no
offense to Hebrew speakers intended).  An example:

Ze ka u gorad safa. [This is a horrible language.]

3. =C6din: This language was a definite improvement compared to my first
two.  I used Latin as a base for this language.  As a result, it turned
out to be a rather brusque language.  However, I wrote numerous poems in
this language, enjoying a larger vocabulary than I had ever had before.=20
An example:

"I Va'th=FCil Laudosm=EB"

Tharya Iluf quis no menelesse,
Saker no tarya onoma.
Tarya regnus yello.
Tarya rhuva no agit endoresse,
Ve e=E1 nenelesse.
Dadamo met hire tharya revu mbass.
A kondaro met thora debvitae,
Ve hara kondaro tharya debvitosa.
A duko met an=FA tenn's haneli,
U prodero met el gornel:
An taryae no i regnus, a i motha,
A i aglor, anelia.
Enelia

[The Lord's Prayer]

4. Lindalin: This language was an attempt to improve =C6din.  I processed
=C6din through a "great vowel and consonant shift" (know as the "L=EB
Haemuthos," or, the "Great Change").  I eradicated a majority of the
orthographical marks, making the new language easier to write in.  An
example:

"Pharva Angwent=EB"

Hara nalthos =E9au pharva o a chois etha haegles o
Hara num=EB aelva ao witano qu=EB la phaahya quartro
M=EDn veya bdasi man sarar
Qu=EB dalya quarto la phaanya witano

[first stanza of "Young and Proud" by Ace of Base]

5. Yu:  This language is my first and only language which is not spoken
in the medeival/fantasy land of Enarda, where all the others are.  Yu was
an interesting experiment to see if I could make a language similar to
Hawaiian.  I invented all the words.  An example:

Iomu yewa afidi. [Go in peace (happiness, etc.)]

6. Welan: This is a consise language that I probably will return to.  It
was another experiment to find a way to represent inflections to show
parts of speech without being obvious about it.  I based it on Welsh, but
dropped the mutations business [that is for my next project :c)].  An
example:

Rwo hwn iail dad ide fen. [This language is good for me.]

7. Kesa: So far, this is my magnum opus.  It is complete in nearly every
aspect.  I based the grammar loosely on Latin, having inflections and
barely any syntax.  The vocabulary consists of over 4,500 words.  I based
this language mainly on Finnish and Old English, but it contains sources
from nearly fifteen other languages.  I have an etymology, which is
interesting.  I spent nearly a year and a half making it.  An example:

H=E6listo=FE se Sina=FE

Im=E9 atelo im=E9 tun=E9o matkan, tar=E9na wesol lapol
Um=E9 genaso se osa=FE im=E9 viho kune re=F0e s=E4rka ine luko.
Etapa weso panan, um=E9 weso t=9A=E9eran le ib=E9 se j=E4to
Koske im=E9 ene b=E9treso se n=E4=FEo lopuline ko=F0=F8san

[first stanza of "Fade to Blue" by LeAnn Rimes]


Well, that is a synopsis of my conlangs.  What I think I will do in the
future is to combine Welan and Kesa and make it a syntactical language.=20
That could be fun.  Thanks for your time.

I am!  I'll make it, but I don't know about hosting it.
I can host the page on my school's server but it's only
reliable until this June when I decide whether or not to move
on from highschool.  So, everyone send your Conlang information,
maybe a sample, and anything you can think of, URL's, anything,
to me personally or via CONLANG-L - everyone gets their plug :)

I'm relatively new to HTML, so if someone wants to be
on standby :)
