Well, we'd need a longer description of the conlang in question, say, at
least 2 or 3 paragraphs.  I could provide space on my site, if you put a
description on your webpage, I could link to it, or if you send me a
description, I could type it up, as I have time.  My suggested format
for a description is:

Name (duh!) and inventor (tell me if you want me to have an e-mail link)
Website (if any)
Where spoken (if any)
Type (by which I mean, based on a real language, fictional diachronic -
as in Brithenig, IAL, totally invented, etc.)
Brief description of internal history (if any)
Brief description of external history
  By internal history, I mean the fictional history
Description of the language itself - preferably at least 2 paragraphs,
no upper limit - the more info the better!

I'll immediately start with Watya'iya`isa, when I'm finished, it'll be
