Just tell me when you're available (and you can bring the baby with you, that's
no problem. There's place enough here :)) ).

Fortunately, those languages are completely unrelated (even in time of
creation. I am currently creating Itakian, while Astou is one of the first
languages I created). Astou is a dead language, which used to be spoken by a
civilisation which disappeared about 2 millenia and a half ago, while Itakian
is spoken "now" by a diaspora of African tribes living over Central and
Southern Africa. Both being genetic isolates, they can difficultly be related
(even in my brains :)) ).
