Well, you got it. My idea with Reman was to make a Romance language which would
look as far to the other Romance languages as English looks far from the other
Germanic languages. For "Roumant", on the other hand, I wanted a Romance
language which would "fill the gap" between French and the neighbouring Romance
languages (When I got the idea, I didn't know anything about Occitan and the
like...).
