Degaspregos

*You* made Degaspregos? I have two problems with it, and they're
opinion-based.

First, you have about 35 letters. That means you have to make digraphs in
plenty and perhaps use some diacritical marks, both of which I try to
limit. Either it makes typing long ("is that alt+0235, or alt+0233?"), or
it makes the word uglier since it contains punctuation marks. (My two
main conlangs have 23 and 20 letters respectively, and only one has
digraphs or diphthongs. Neither uses diacriticals.)

Second, I don't like the syllabic style, since it allows consonant
clusters of 3 consonants. I always have a very sparing syllabic style, a
reaction to English. If I spoke Georgian as a native language, it would
be worse.

However, that's just my opinion and my habits. Please do not feel that it
reflects negatively on you in any way. Im relem tun nai kardei marki
kirapona gith ik soki. (I hope [that] you don't have great heartpains for
my words.)
