User:Chrysophylax

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+).

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 fika.

Who is the Chrysophylax?

The 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.

The Chrysophylax usually does cool stuff like reading books from its bookshelf, buying books for its bookshelf and figuring out how to express the accusative.

The Chrysophylax was also one of the initiative starters for the Linguifex Conlang Wiki and is on the board of administrators. If you ever need some help, don't be afraid to ask on Its talk page. :-)

Languages

Now, I'm unfortunately afflicted by the sketchlang fever which causes me to come up with sketchlangs non-stop. Some of the more featured ones (although horribly incomplete) are listed below.

• 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.

• 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.

The story of society?

Finian: “Ulwâr titâri Arharât miliryâr tuorir” / raw: ULUUAAR•TITAARI•ARHARAAT•MILIRIAAR•TUORIR

"The wolf pays honeyed tribute to the bear"

Compounds? Túorimilir - sweet gift/orig. gift of honey?
