Welcome, adventurer. I speak Swedish, Spanish and English. I've also studied French, Latin and Italian. I have been exposed to some Brazilian Portuguese and may understand it if spoken slowly. As for the Germanic language family, I understand German moderately well and well, some of the Scandinavian siblings (Norwegian og Danish ) depending on speaker. Icelandic is slightly harder (actually, it's really hard) but with luck and a dictionary I might guess the gist of something. I am currently studying Serbo-Croatian and Ancient Greek ('''2012-2013+''').  
If you require help, feel free to write to me on my talk page, and I will respond as soon as possible. You may write to me in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Swedish (Danish and Norwegian are fine too), Latin, Bosnian, Serbian, or Croatian, and Ancient Greek.


I've been known to spend time looking at PGmc/Proto-Celtic/PIE reconstructions, lurk on language forums reading arguments, correcting incorrectly declined irregular Latin nouns on the English Wiktionary and to fika.

  • DhannuáA foray into Indo-European "fauxo-historical" linguistics.
In summary, what if I got to play around with some IE roots and tried to make a proper, naturalistic, modern Indo-European-descendant language with chronicled changes from PIE to Standard Dhannua/Common Late Era Modern Dhannua. It went… so and so. I have unfortunately not had enough time to fully flesh it out as I would have wanted. I do like the feel of the language though.
Finian is a cousin language to Dhannuá, small but quirky.
A weird idea stumbled into my brain at 4 am one day (or maybe I should say night!) and thus the Misqazanic language was born. Funny English name, Misqazan literally being "our language" in Misqazan.
Again, the sketchlang fever came over me.
