Introduction
Designed to be like an evolved and collapsed Pan-Romance language in ~2200s. Anyone can add to or help!
Phonology
Again, designed to have evolved from a simple, easy sound system that slowly collapsed into something more colloquial and complex.

1Non-clitic possessive pronouns inflect like adjectives. Example: mio fil = my son, fila mia = my daughter, mios filos = my children
2T-V distinction is only expressed in the singular.
3In these cases, distinction is made between the masculine plural and feminine plural. Masculine is used to refer to any group that is not completely feminine.
