Welcome to the List!!

Quite a discovery, eh? I still remember when I first search the Internet for
conlang stuff, shortly after I had read an article about conlanging in a German
magazine. Wow! I was flabbergasted! And in a way, it changed my life, because
from that moment on I started taking my own conlanging much more seriously.

There is always place for a newbie on the list. And the learning experience is
quite strong for most of us, so I hope it will benefit you as well.

Yes, indeed.

Would you like to give us some info about your language? What is its name, how
does it work, is it related to existing languages, etc.?

There is on indispensable link for members of the conlang list, that contains a
lot of info about various stuff: <http://www.conlanglinks.tk> . You can also
find a link there to "Yer Ugly Mug", that contains profiles of many members of
the list. If you want, you can add your own profile there, too.
Once more, welcome to the list, and happy conlanging!
