I don't think I replied to this part.
There's not a lot to tell, since I usually get stuck early in the
development process.
MNCL was intended to try out agglutination, ergative syntax, and a couple
other things.
'Yemls uses the basic alphabet as a syllabary. Upper and lower case are
distinct. The written form is fairly compact, but that's partly due to a
somewhat ambiguous syntax. It's also supposed to have a "fun" vocabulary,
which makes creating new words even more challenging.
Rubaga takes classical Latin and applies a certain set of sound changes to
see what else is affected. I need to do more research before going further
with it.
What little online documentation I have is out of date.
