My first conlang attempt (predictably called "Elvish") was extremely
juvenile, and I don't regret having forgotten most of it. The only thing
I remember is that "how are you?" was "hu ar yoo?" - with lots of fancy
accent marks all over everything. A bit like badly spelled English with
a little Polish mixed in. Of course, I was only nine years old...
