True, CONLANG is quite a busy beast full of dross.

Indeed, I am considering that.  So perhaps I'll set up a Yahoo!Group,
even if I don't like Yahoo! much.  Does anyone here know how to do that?

Yes.  I'd *love* to have Dirk in the LLL, if he wants to.
And most romconlangs could easily exist in the LLL, too,
if their creators wish.  Actually, I'd toss in Germanech besides
Albic; it would be spoken in a few villages around Trier,
or something like that.

Done.

A satem version of Hittite, so to speak?  Sounds interesting.

How did Thagojian wind up in the area where it is spoken?
"Sea Peoples", perhaps?

OK, so the membership list so far looks like this:

Name                    Language(s)    Location

Paul Bennett            Thagojian      Egypt/Israel
Tristan McLeay          Føtisk
Jörg Rhiemeier          Albic          British Isles
                        Germanech      Trier, Germany
Christian Thalmann      Hairo          Switzerland

(Where is Føtisk spoken, Tristan?)

Greetings,

Jörg.
