Is the poll even necessary? We've just had
complaints that Conlang is too clogged with OT
stuff. Here's an actual opportunity to talk ABOUT
conlangs!
Most of mine aren't anything special, usually IE
or something in that general neighbourhood.
Queranaran and Anian are different kettles of
fish, though. The one is the Daine language
(really a sort of interlanguage, when you get
down to it) and has left strong influences on the
human languages around (only a few details worked
out yet); the latter is an ancient human language
and shows not a little Daine influence. The
pronoun systems and the gendered verbs are such
influence.
Talarian is in the vicinity of IE or IH. Like
Jörg's Atlantean (Q), it fits in somewhere on
the edge of IE. Perhaps a little closer in, even.

Or do what I'd do and pick none!
