Hi everyone, I'm ''lili21'' from Milan, Lombardy, living in <small>[a Piedmontese-speaking part of]</small> Liguria, northwestern Italy.<br />
Hi, I’m ''Leonard'' (in my [[w:Lombard language|Lombard variant]]: {{IPA|[le.uˈnaːrt]}}) or ''Elias'' or ''Lias'' or ''Lili'' or just '''Lili21''' as per the title bar above, and I’m a Lombard conlanger in the early twenties, currently living in [[w:Liguria|Liguria]], northwestern Italy.


Languages and linguistics are my main interests; I’m currently studying Modern Languages and Cultures and I’ve been conlanging since early 2014 (actually I had created some languages earlier but they were little more than relexes of Italian), after falling in love with linguistics, mostly thanks to randomly reading online about Ancient Greek. I started conlanging in order to give better detail to my conworld, [[Verse:Calémere|Calémere]] (adj. Calemerian), whose earliest draft I started around that time, early-mid 2014, and all of my non-scrapped conlangs so far except two ([[Tameï]], an a priori language spoken on a fictional archipelago in the Indian Ocean, and the [[Lingua Sine Nomine|Unnamed Romlang]], an attempt at a posteriori romlanging so far without a specific setting) are set there. [[Chlouvānem]], my most developed conlang, is one of the two lingue franche of Calémere.
I’m a student of Languages, with a Literature-focussed curriculum, and I’ve been making up languages ever since I was nine, even though those things were just relexes of Italian with words sounding like a mixture of completely different languages. Only since I was 17, when I fell in love with Linguistics while randomly reading about Ancient Greek online, I put together this passion with other great interests of mine - Geography (and drawing - badly - maps of fictional territories) and mass transit - to create my conworld, [[Verse:Calémere|Calémere]], which changed a lot of times during these years to get from that first draft to its present, incomplete, state, the one most of what I’ve written here makes up: all of my conlangs are part of Calémere, except two ([[Tameï]], an a priori language spoken on a fictional archipelago in the Indian Ocean, and the [[Lingua Sine Nomine|Unnamed Romlang]], an attempt at a posteriori romlanging so far without a specific setting). My main and most developed conlang, [[Chlouvānem]], which I created at the end of 2016 but has its roots in some ways reaching up to my earliest relexes, is one of Calémere’s two linguae francae. Anyway, I like to tell myself I’m just as much a conlanger as I’m a conworlder, as - except for the Unnamed Romlang cited above - I feel the need to create a setting for any conlang in order to work on it.


Conworlding aside but still talking about languages I’m mainly interested in historical linguistics, in the evolution of Indo-European languages, particularly Slavic ones, and in Gallo-Italic and Indo-Aryan languages. I speak Lombard, Italian, English, and German, plus I'm studying Russian and Portuguese, and have been learning, unconstantly (with an abundant amount of procrastination) and with no noteworthy results, various other languages I like such as Danish, Sanskrit, or Hungarian.

About me

Hi, I’m Leonard (in my Lombard variant: [le.uˈnaːrt]) or Elias or Lias or Lili or just Lili21 as per the title bar above, and I’m a Lombard conlanger in the early twenties, currently living in Liguria, northwestern Italy.

I’m a student of Languages, with a Literature-focussed curriculum, and I’ve been making up languages ever since I was nine, even though those things were just relexes of Italian with words sounding like a mixture of completely different languages. Only since I was 17, when I fell in love with Linguistics while randomly reading about Ancient Greek online, I put together this passion with other great interests of mine - Geography (and drawing - badly - maps of fictional territories) and mass transit - to create my conworld, Calémere, which changed a lot of times during these years to get from that first draft to its present, incomplete, state, the one most of what I’ve written here makes up: all of my conlangs are part of Calémere, except two (Tameï, an a priori language spoken on a fictional archipelago in the Indian Ocean, and the Unnamed Romlang, an attempt at a posteriori romlanging so far without a specific setting). My main and most developed conlang, Chlouvānem, which I created at the end of 2016 but has its roots in some ways reaching up to my earliest relexes, is one of Calémere’s two linguae francae. Anyway, I like to tell myself I’m just as much a conlanger as I’m a conworlder, as - except for the Unnamed Romlang cited above - I feel the need to create a setting for any conlang in order to work on it.

Concerning languages, I’m mostly interested in historical linguistics, in the evolution of Indo-European languages, particularly Romance and Slavic ones, and in Gallo-Italic and Indo-Aryan languages. I’m also interested in various other things like geography, history, anthropology, literature (notably Portuguese-language one), mass transit systems, and urbanism.
I speak Lombard (on dialett milanes, on ciccin arios, disarissi che l’è faa su de quij de Brughee e Cologn cont tant di influenz del milanes standard - ma foo semper sentì che l’è arios quand a parnonzi nagòtt [niˈɡut], o i -oo finai on tocch pussee dervii che la [uː] milanesa!), Italian (normalissima variante milanese, pur se con qualche influenza lessicale ligure e langarola o dell’Alto Monferrato), English, and German; I’m also studying Portuguese and Russian (and can speak them at a little-more-than-basic level), and I speak and understand a very tiny bit of Danish as well. If you really need to message me in one of the following, I can also understand Ligurian (the closer to Genoese, the better) and standard French pretty well, as well as - thanks to Romance closeness - some Occitan, Catalan, and Spanish, but I speak them little (French) or not at all (the others).
