About me

Hi, I’m Leonard (in my Lombard variant: [le.uˈnaːrt]) 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 Rumonian, 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).
