Oooh, lovely!
What an interesting and funny little language! :D I'm not much of a fan of of the orthography though... :/

- Hehe, indeed, I felt I needed something to balance the 'softness' of Dhannuá and provide off-sounding loanwords! Do you mean the modern romanization orthography? with the circumflex? I was inspired by the Welsh system where they use the circumflex to indicate a long vowel. Mostly because it gives a slightly different visual style compared to pre-wridhanor resso Dhannuá which has a definite Gaelic-y feel (I've been told Google translate once mistook Dhannuá for Irish! Hah! As if…). Of course, it does remind me a little of all the numerous conlangs where people use diacritics but eh, I like the difference. Else, the in-universe writing system found in 'inscriptions' writes out all the long vowels as doubles and indicates v~w with <uu> and iotated consonants with either a broken i (<˛>) or just <i>. I decided to rewrite these as â ê î û, etc; /w/ as <w> and [j~j] as <y> while reserving <i> for the pure vowel /i/.

Dhannua on the other hand has a remarkable and very pleasing orthography! Of course, creating differing orthographies for related languages is highly common and it does give a nice twist to it all. and yes, I was mostly referring to the awful circumflex... Then, I am known for hating all diacritics but macrons and acute accents... :P By the way, I have done a few tweaks to the Facade. Waahlis 19:04, 26 December 2012 (CET)
