Yup, Pacific islanders.  Hrmm...well, i'm not trying to rationalize the
alphabet itself, just a transliteration scheme, since Rokbeigalmki
already has it's own native alphabet.  Would that make a historical
difference or be accurate, that the Western Europeans wouldn't try to
replace the alphabet with their own, while the Russians, possibly later,
would?

The Rokbeigalm's "Modern Period" is everything in Real Earth, as opposed
to mythic pre-pre-historical Tolkien's Middle-Earth, which is when the
stage of the language that i refer to as 'present' is.  If you want to
know exact time, it's whenever ElendorMUSH is at :) .  Everything else
about their history is very sketchy at the moment, except for the very
beginning and that they're still around.
