Not by a long shot!
- Moten: does have a conculture (well, at least an internal history), and can
be argued to contain the word for language in its name (at least in the
language itself).
- Notya: has a conculture (well, a sketch, but still) and still contains in its
name the word for language. But even in its conculture it's thought to be an
artificial language :)) .
- Azak: no conculture associated, and the name is not related to the word
for 'language'.
- Reman: no culture associated (well, an idea of conculture, since it's a a-
posteriori language, but I never developped it), and the name of the language
is not related to 'language'.
- Astou: has a culture associated, and the name is not related to anything
known.
- Tj'a-ts'a~n: has a conculture associated (one of the ones I developped most
until then) and yet its name means "the language".
- Chasmäöcho: no culture associated (I developped it to be a personal
language), and yet the name is not associated with the word 'language' in the
language.
- O: absolutely no culture associated, and yet its name is not related to the
word 'language'.
- Narbonósc: has a conculture (part of Ill Bethisad) and its name is a toponym.
- Itakian: definitely has a conculture, but by lack of information, I cannot
say whether the name in the language itself is related to 'language' or not :
(( . The name given in English doesn't at least.
So, taking away Itakian and Moten since their cases are a little unclear, only
2 out of 8 languages fill the correlation :))) . Am I strange, or is simply the
correlation inexistent? :)))
