Hello, I'm Nicholas, creating languages since 1998~1999 from Buenos Aires, Argentina. First inspirations at that time came from learning English, French and some notions of Greek terminology and Latin (very vague). Later on other influences were Tolkien's Elvish languages, Old English, Old Norse among others. Some languages I've studied to a higher degree include English, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Russian and Croatian. Also I've studied Classical Languages at the university (Latin, Ancient Greek, Sanskrit) and some Ancient languages like Sumerian and Akkadian.

I'm more into a priori naturalistic languages, but I've dabbled in a posteriori too, often trying to create divergent and hard to categorize romlangs et alia, and of course, some experiments too!

Pages working on currently

Languages: a priori

Alanûz (ca. 2003)

Alanûz is a language inspired in Semitic languages and triliteral roots but completely a priori. It doesn't strictly follow a Semitic grammar though.

Omonkwi (ca. 2003)

Omonkwi started as an early attempt to capture the sounds I liked from mesoamerican indigenous languages via a poorly pronounced (by my high-school teacher) version of deity names in the Popol Vuh.

Českoen (ca. 2003)

Českoen is more of a semi-spooflang, in the sense that it was created with a whole history behind it. It was supposed to be very simple and analytic, but with a tradition that claimed it was indeed quite complex and a "school" trying to revive awareness of its complexity, I had fun parodying notions of "better languages" or "complex = good".

Kamatarna (ca. 2003)

This language was sparked by a mention in Tolkien's The Monsters and the Critics about how he overheard a man deciding he would "mark the accusative with a prefix", so I ran with the idea.

Shellud (ca. 2003)

My first attempt to create a "dark language" whatever that may be. It draws some inspiration from Tolkien's Black Speech, but also from Akkadian.

Warthuz (ca. 2005)

A language of some Proto-Germanic inspiration, but very generally.

Tulvan (2010)

Tulvan is an attempt at a more futuristic language, supposedly more evolved historically. I wanted to test the idea that modern languages start trying to differentiate terms more and more over minutia.

Kareyku (2010)

Kareyku is a case-heavy language with 11 cases and 6 evidentials. Here I was trying a new concept using more evidentials than verb-heavy morphology and being influenced from Japanese and Quechua, among others.

Languages: a posteriori

Fingail

A Welshified version of the Finnish language.

Lam a-vrest/Brest

A very weird mixture of germanic, with substrate of brittonic.

Naruvano

Giving a pseudo-daco-romanian spin to it.
Sample:
Chęan viana di'n cęalo? | Chęan viana di'n tęara? | Chęan viana di'n ruta? | lo noavo nuá di sęar malo.
Who comes from heaven? | Who comes from earth? | Who comes from the road? | The new mustn't be bad.

Liugtlich

Another thought that popped into my head. And I think I wanted an excuse to use a modern cognate of "woruldceondl", a kenning for the sun.
Sample:
flian, flian efr mich | mich ciundl sai liugtlich | sciuda tich gannen bis | mich wirelciundl tu is.
fly, fly over me | my candle so light | in shadows since your going | my world-candle you are.

Commissioned Conlangs

Bamzooki (2017)

A language created for a projected animated TV-series and open-world videogame for the London BBC. It includes its own writing system that combines abugida with ideograms.

Aklo (2018)

Created for the Argentine movie Necronomicón: El Libro del Infierno, inspired in the literature of H. P. Lovecraft. The language was created to serve as the on-screen secret language of an order of cultists custodians of the Necronomicon and its secrets, claiming to have come from Carcossa.

Djinn language (2019)

A conlang commissioned for a series of books, it is to be the language spoken by a race identified with the arabic tradition of Djinns.

Atlantean (Atilanan dresh) (2020)

Still in progress for a movie project. It is the language of extra-dimensional humans from a dimension called "Atlantis".

The Cramarian project

Wakensi

Wakensi is a language belonging to the Cramarian family of languages with some faint African Swahili influence.

Teutla

A Cramarian language with a faintly mixed Nahuatl/Mayan touch.

Tuscal

Tuscal is intended to have a mix of Latin/Etruscan feel to it.

Éothuth

Some inspiration taken from natlang Beothuk because of a coincidence in shape of some words, also Old English.

Pennyen

A Sino-Japanese derivate, that also has two descendants.

Hrashrzen

Weird inspiration.

The Proto-Okiwo project
