I've often used Slavic as an influence, but the thought never really hit me, to create a Slavic language with heavy Uralic influence.

Huu...Gamyar was so long ago, that I've lost all the papers...at least, they're in a box somewhere off in storage land. The vocabulary was 98% a priori, which is why I ended up abandoning it. As for Cyrillic, I love that script. I've designed Cyrillic scripts for English and Hungarian, and was sad when I learned that Azeri and Moldavian no longer use Cyrillic... Cheers, Ferko
