Hi! My name is Adan. I speak English (fluent), Somali (near fluent), Arabic (decent), and a little Spanish, Portuguese, French, Amharic, and German (in that order).

Most of my conlangs are a posteriori. I like languages that are familiar but unique, which means I am mainly interested in Afro-Asiatic (especially Cushitic and Semitic) and Indo-European (especially Germanic and Romance). I'm also starting to get into other language families such as Bantu.

For me, conlanging is mostly a fun way to get more familiar with languages (both synchronically and diachronically) and improve my linguistic skills. As a result, I tend to leave my languages unfinished once I have a basic skeleton. Hopefully writing about them online forces me to put a little more effort (the coding aspect is also fun).

Some of my conlangs:

• Indo-European:
  • Germanic:
    • Gothedish (Guþþydske)
    • Doidhesh (Doidhesh/Dœðesc)
    • Varangian (Verinska)
  • Italic:
    • Essanian (Xanhán)
    • Rustrolic (Rustrolkus)
  • Hellenic:
    • Unnamed Hellenic conlang
  • Other:
    • Thezhmic (Þeźmikos)
• Afro-Asiatic:
  • Cushitic:
    • Af Mexee
  • Semitic:
    • Af Sharqi
• A priori:
  • Indazari (Indazariyus)
  • Ofeb (Lö'öfebe)
  • Chemlangs:
    • An amino-acid based chemlang
    • A chemical name based chemlang
