Re: Another Introduction

Hey!

Sorry that I'm a week too late, but I have had a week of
holidays and have not been at home because of that. I'm
just checking my mail and have not yet read all the stuff
from the last week. Unfortunately, I had to kill 26 spam
mails :-|

Hey! Welcome to teh list! You were "motivated by many people
joining the list lately"? Where? Now don't say that you
have "real world" friends who conlang! That'd be amazing.

That does not matter. Everyone had to begin somewhere. I'm
conlanging for 1 1/2 years now myself, there's still only
one language I have put much work into (Ayeri,

<http://www.beckerscarsten.de/conlang/ayeri/ayeri_deu.pdf>), though
I have started two other projects earlier.

Also bitten by the "conlang flea", huh? I've been said you
will never stop once you've started conlaning ;-) As for
being too young, Robert "Trebor" Jung is only 13 or 14
IIRC. It's astonishing how much he knows about languages
already. Respect, Trebor! I started myself with 16 (I'm 18
now), there are many who started earlier or even later. So
I think there's never a "too old" or "too young" at
conlanging. AFAIK, ol' Tolkien was 8 when he started, btw.
