| <!--
| |
| | |
| This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
| |
| | |
| I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
| |
| II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
| |
| III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.
