Even though I am a Mormon, it's funny, but "Mormon" wouldn't at all be
possible in my fledgling (it's one year old on the 30th) language
Varidanen. There is one big problem: In Varidanen, there is no "m". (I'm
sure that's very, very unlikely - along with the fact that there's
no "p", "b", "f", or "g"!)I transcribe my own name into my language
as "Naikhl", the "hl" representing syllabic "l" in this case.
"Mormon" would come out, most likely, as "Nornon" in Varidanen. Thus, "The
Book of Mormon" would be "Aulenva Nornonin" (lit. "The Book from Mormon").
I have a question, also: How many conlangers, like me, were inspired by
Tolkien's Quenya or Sindarin to create their own languages?

Also, how many Mormon conlangers are there? Does anyone know?
