Before I'll start to fill in the form, I would strongly suggest you to make one
modification in your questionary, now that it's not too late yet.
What I have in mind is the a priori/a posteriori distinction: where did the
language steal its vocabulary and grammar?
And since I am basically an a posteriori conlanger, I would also add the family
the language belongs to (for example: romlangs, celticonlangs, etc.).
I think it would be unfair to leave this subject for the notes section.
