Kerno of course shamelessly borrows from Brithenig, English, French,
Spanish, Arvorec and Wessisc - all the main languages around. They
get mangled, but that's just a matter of fitting a forn word to the
native pronunciation and orthography (such as it is).

Talarian has also borrowed a healthy number of words. Mostly in the
past, though.

Padraic.
