I'm kind of in the first category, but trying to keep within the second. I
seem to get the itch once in a while to make up a new language, but i've
been trying to be good and stick with my personal language, and also
Saalangal (which I would like to be more complete, since I have been
working on it, as well as the culture). Saalangal is actually to make up
for what I didnt like in Magandang Kadomo (basically all of it). So, it's
much better, and IMHO, better thought out also. The second conlang (which
is in revision from Tilon Nevo), is what I work on when I need a break
from Saalangal.
