Umm, you're looking at one? :-) Minimal inflections and fairly strong SVO are the two features that come to mind right off. Standard German is conservative in both points, though. But AFAIK Crimean Gothic is just a vocabulary list. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@ccil.org To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all. There are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful. --_The Hobbit_
