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, 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.

Českoen (ca. 2003)

Českoen is more of a semi-spooflang, 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.

Kareyku (2010)

Kareyku is a case-heavy language with 11 cases and 7 evidentials. Here I was trying a new concept using more evidentials than verb-heavy morphology.

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)

Conlang job for a movie project. It is the language of extra-dimensional humans from a dimension called "Atlantis".

The Cramarian project

Since the start of the project I've been going back again to it at different times with each time making a couple new derivations. For ease I've termed those as "phases". These could be years of months appart. Those with † are discarded languages or those that were superseded by a new version, those in parenthesis () are only provisional names.
