I saw Klingon there (and there's a little debate about Klingon on the
talk page too), but I doubt they'd like it if we started putting our own
lesser-known conlangs there. :-) Maybe we should create a page, say on
FrathWiki or something, specifically for people to describe their
conlangs.

Hmm, is this a common occurrence amongst conlangs, discarding
capitalization? Tatari Faran does it, and so does Ebisédian (the latter
mainly because I needed more letterforms for the multitude of phonemes).

written in Cyrillic. :-)
