Hello, gōðna dag, bjólet nad, and taxa teiu! My name is Jamin and I live in Philadelphia, PA. I've created a number of languages throughout the years, and I hope to present a few of them here. My most “complete” languages to date are:

  • Northeadish (Druðþþȳðesc) – an a posteriori pan-Germanic language. (I like to think of it as “South Germanic,” despite the name).
  • Maltcégj – an a priori language I created just for fun because my other languages at the time were a little too rigid.
  • Dlatci – an a priori language (one of the “rigid” ones above) that I’ve been working on since 1995. It’s undergone some massive changes over the years, though, and is currently in a state that isn’t entirely “presentable.” I hope to fix this soon.
  • Gutish – another Germanic a posteriori, this time a close relative of Gothic. Not directly descended from Gothic, as such, but maybe a great-great-nephew.
  • Brooding – an a priori language originally created by Scott Hamilton for the Riddlesbrood Touring Theater Company. Brooding is used in the company's theme song and logo, and was used in their 2012 production of The Dark Side Show, the 2015 production of Harken, and 2016 book Riddlesbrood: The Greatest Brochure in the World. I have been curating and expending the language since the fall of 2014.

I have a very poorly maintained website at http://ling.everywitchway.net.

I blog very infrequently at http://jamin.everywitchway.net.

I vlog even less frequently, often about Gothic, at http://youtube.com/benjaminpauljohnson.
