I was thinking a little bit about trying to make a similar language (or
even their language!), but since i have no experience with signed
languages, i wasn't that confident about my ability to remember and
reproduce signs correctly without having a good way of writing them down.
 Although it would be a great challenge, especially figuring out what
concepts are "basic" enough to be encoded as words.  Maybe i'll try it
later on, when i'm more experienced, if someone else doesn't take a shot
at it first.

An ur-proto-Rokbeigalmki....hmmm...now *that* would be interesting.  But
how the heww would a barely-vocalized predominantly-signed language turn
into a purely spoken one?
