Hello, I'm '''Nicholas''', creating languages since 1998~1999 from [[w:Buenos Aires|Buenos Aires]], [[w:Argentina|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 [[w:Tolkien|Tolkien]]'s Elvish languages, [[w:Old English|Old English]], [[w:Old Norse|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 [[w:Classical Languages|Classical Languages]] at the university ([[w:Latin|Latin]], [[w:Ancient Greek|Ancient Greek]], [[w:Sanskrit|Sanskrit]]) and some Ancient languages like [[w:Sumerian|Sumerian]], [[w:Akkadian|Akkadian]]. I'm more into ''[[a priori]]'' naturalistic languages, but I've dabbled in ''[[a posteriori]]'' too, and of course, some experiments as well!

I began my conlanging experience just before the 2000's, during boring high-school classes. At first I had started developing two a priori artlangs, called '''Baladi''' and '''Debilen''', which were supposed to be related. The first was supposed to have a Graeco-Roman feel to it, and the Debilen would be the prototypical "barbarians". After that I also included a language called '''Gin'amed''', another a priori artlang supposed to feel like a mix of reconstructed Egyptian hieroglyphic pronunciation and Semitic languages with triliteral roots. Afterwards I decided to start anew with another a priori language but this time to really go deep into creating words that I could relate to their meanings, called '''Senshra'''. After those I created many many more conlangs, even a couple where I tried to convince a friend to join in, to no real success. If we could term the Baladi and Debilen languages my Phase I, then Gin'amed and Senshra would be Phase II. I've played quite a lot with those special first languages, closest to my heart, but also started developing a ton of new ones. Phase III had a lot of new directions, '''Manketzal''', '''Shelud''', and many more. Most of those listed here belong to Phase IV but that count, and there's even a Phase V and beyond.
