Greetings to all! Subutov=F3n ukh=E9se!

Concerning the "necessity" of conculture.  In creating Druni I was naturally=20
curious as to what type of people would speak this language; what would be=20
their cultural assumptions and environment etc.  Creating an entire culture=20
has been as much fun as creating the language itself. Being a "non-linguist"=20
that is an amateur it has been a hobby of mine without professional=20
connections although I do enjoy writing stories... So a conculture for me is=20
a important part.

I don't think it is necessary though.  One could do without it if one's focu=
s=20
was exclusively experimentation with the structure of the language itself.
