I'm not one for introductions really but I figure anything is better than a redlink.

English is my first language but I have a strong command of French or at least the best that can expected of someone who learnt it academically; I tend to be a touch overly formal and obtuse and am prone to typoes [though my English can be much the same at times] but I can understand most of what I read or hear. I've got a bit of Spanish picked up as electives which builds off my already flawed French into something painful when I'm forced to speak it myself but I understand a large portion of it and most other romance languages at this point. I'm looking to pick up Irish and have a few key points of understanding in the language, though progress is slow.

My interest in conlanging is probably built on a combined interest in real life linguistics and worldbuilding/writing projects I get myself wrapped up in from time to time. I found this site while looking for ideas and information both for my personal project that I've be working on sporadically over the last couple years or so.

My primary conlang is Fén Ghír, which is fairly functional at this stage. It was originally developed for a game, which initially fell through before finally being ressurrected before a slow death. I find the language handy however and will likely ressurrect it whenever I'm in need of a conlang for either games or fictional works. Presently, I'm messing with sibling languages of what I am currently refering to as the "Galavic" language family. This has born fruit with Cwengâr which, as it retains most of Fén Ghír's rules, is largely usable already. After this, I hope to develop both a descendant of Cwengâr and another outlier for the Galavic family. I may move on from there to develop more distant relatives and other languages completely.

In the meantime, I'll be updating sporadically as time and ideas allow.

Send me a message on discussion if you want to chat and I should usually get to it pretty soon unless buried under work.

All the best,

Fauxlosophe.
