Well. I suposse I have to define first Hangkerimce, with its original literature including, but not limited to, Hangkerim sacred text, which ar= e not Christian, legal texts, leyends and stories, ... poetry (probably I will = decide that poetic prose will be the main form after is the one I manage my self= in Spanish) When I have decide in my text the shape of Hangkerimce then I will begun = to make the chape of Kizidanoce by translating parts of the Bible. Seams very interesting because thath and the alphabet will definively make Kizidanoc= e a differenciable dialect of Hangkerimce.
