	~~Hi guys! I'm '''Jotadiego''' (people from the Facebook groups may know me as '''''J Diego'''''; I've also gone by the nicknames ''Taimunozhan'' and ''Squirrelwug'').~~

	I've been creating languages since I was 14 or so (2008-ish), after getting interested in Esperanto and Tolkien's languages. My first conlangs where rather uncouth (''Spaele'', which was an unholy mix of words from a dozen sources, and ''Mëntinlan'' and ''Calacalá'', both of which attempted in some way or other to be ''logical'' languages) but, as years went by, I managed to create better conlangs (nonetheless, I've decided to keep those ''early'' languages rather than getting rid of them; my reluctance to abandon old conlangs is one of the key elements which have lead me to hoard dozens and dozens of conlangs of my own).

	I've got a certain tendency to make a new conlang every time I get what I deem to be an interesting idea. This, along with the facts that I'll seldom abandon an old conlang and that I like working with language families (which often results in new daughter/mother/sister languages) has [https://xkcd.com/326/ effected] the current situation where I've got a ton of conlangs most of which are, unfortunately, underdeveloped. From time to time I'll try to revisit an old conlang I hadn't worked on for a long time (which most often results in reforming the language), but my long sought goal of properly documenting each of my conlangs has remained elusive.

From time to time I'll try to revisit an old conlang I hadn't worked on for a long time (which most often results in reforming the language), but my long sought goal of properly documenting each of my conlangs has remained elusive.

	Other than conlangs and linguistics, my interests are science, maths, IT and programming (I've somehow ended studying computer engineering), geography (and cartography!) among others. My favourite books include His Dark Materials trilogy (by Philip Pullman) and stuff by Asimov (I like The End of Eternity better than the Foundation series but I think that his best works are actually his short stories like Nightfall, The Gentle Vultures or The Last Question). I've developed a liking for animé with FMA Brotherhood, Durarara, Puella Magi Madoka Magica and the little known Shinsekai Yori being my favourites. As for music, I'm mostly into rock and pop though I listen to a wide range of genres (there are only a few kinds of music I don't really like including some kinds of ''tropical'' music which, much to my dislike, seem to be way too popular where I live u_u).

	By the way, I'm an admin and a founding member of '''''Conlangs (Español)''''', a Spanish-language Facebook group for talking about conlangs and related stuff. If you ''hablas español'', make sure to check it out! ;)		By the way, I'm an admin and a founding member of '''''Conlangs (Español)''''', a Spanish-language Facebook group for talking about conlangs and related stuff.
