User:Chrysophylax

Welcome, adventurer. I am Chrysophylax, an administrator on this fine website. I am also the site's current First Librarian, tasked with the maintenance of our library. I have my own constructed languages, mostly naturalistic conlangs of the a priori type, on here. I only do artlangs :P

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.

My tasks here as an administrator include: helping users, organising projects, carrying out maintenance, and problem solving. If you have an issue that cannot be solved by contacting me through my talk page. :-), or it is of a discrete matter, I'm available for contact at

.

Currently, I'm occupied with starting up and organizing our conlang library at Portal:Library. It is currently undergoing a massive revamp and redesign.

Else, 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 go for a fika when the mood calls for it.

This user enjoys reading almost anything

Summary: Chrysophylax is an avid conlanger and a generally all-round geeky kind of person, whose current position is Sweden, where in the dark lands of Stockholm, the grammar he binds.

Languages

My languages are mostly sketchlangs, unfortunately.

• Dhannuá – A 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

Finian is a cousin language to Dhannuá, small but quirky.

• Misqazan

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.

• Tenarian languages

Elasian

Again, the sketchlang fever came over me.

Valian

As Tolkien found Finnish, I have found Estonian. Ahhh. ♥♥
