Re: The Language Family Project

Mangiat, you gave me an idear.  I'm thinking in the FUTURE (we got too much
going on right now), we all get a list of IE roots (Pokorny anyone?), plus a
good primer on IE grammar (or what we know of it).  Then everybody create their
own Indo-European language.  Some of us (the other Wier comes to mind) have done
this already.  I had planned to create an IE language that resembled Armenian
and Albanian a good bit, called Callistan, but I shelved the idea and decided to
concentrate all my energy on Tech.

As usual, this is all for fun, and no rush.  I'm also on the [cybalist] group;
we discuss IE-related issues there, and that's also a Yahoo! based e-mail list.
So what about something like an Indo-Iranian language spoken by some sort of
Elves, or Hittite on Mars, or even a Celto-Inuit sort of pidgin...
