Even though my tastes have changed over the years (the main difference being an increasing emphasis in historical linguistics) most of my conlangs still fit in the definition of ''artlangs'', in particular, ''a priori naturalistic artlangs''. That is, they are ''not built upon any natural language or language family'', yet they ''strive to be not more nor less complex as any given natural language'', while ''their purpose is that of an artistic endeavour'' and their ''development is strongly driven by their particular aesthetic'' (and not, for instance, the search for a purportedly superior effectivity or the intent of making them specifically easy to learn, as is the case with other kinds of conlangs<ref>Many criteria can be used to classify constructed languages. Some good pointers towards understanding the most usual terminology can be found, for instance, [http://www.joerg-rhiemeier.de/Conlang/classification.html here], [http://www.frathwiki.com/Conlang_terminology here] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructed_language here]</ref>). Nevertheless, even though that's the kind of conlang I ''mostly'' make, I enjoy a wide variety of styles and genres across the whole spectrum of the craft.

==Early conlangs==


These are the conlangs I created when I first started crafting languages, when I was about 12 years old (ca. 2000) and for the following two or three years. I'm very fond of this early creations, and I've started a revamping process to take advantage of the knowledge I've gained in the years passed since their original conception and bring them back. From this time I have mostly sketches, all in paper; most of the languages and sketches have their own writing systems too.

:The language known as the ''Haššûl'' [ħɐ.'ʃ:u:l] is the common language of The Yar-Beššel (name given to the Kingdom of Yar-Beššel proper and its neighbouring vassal counties), as well as of the nearby region known as The Riverlands (organized in a -comparatively- looser adjunction of fiefdoms and acting as a federation, with a politically and economically friendly relationship with the Kingdom). There are many different languages being spoken in The Riverlands, some more related to each other than others, but all riverlanders speak the Haššûl as well. On the contrary, being it the principal language of the Kingdom, most of its inhabitants are native speakers of the Haššûl while they know little, if anything, of the indigenous languages of the neighbouring Riverlands. For outsiders, there is a certain impression of linguistic and cultural homogeneity in the region, since the Haššûl is the language they would expect everyone to be able to speak anywhere near the Yar-Beššel and The Riverlands, and to which they would refer to as the "local tongue".

:The Romà language, called internally ''"a dinc nòsta"'' («ا طينك نوسثا», «נאסת דינך ה», «ⴰ ⴷⵉⵏⴽ ⵏⵧⵙⵜⴰ»), “our language”, is a Western Iberian Romance language of the Pyrenean-Mozarabic group. With ca. 1500 speakers, it’s a highly endangered language. Most of its speakers live around the comune of Dagràn, Taghramt, Morocco (Fahr Anjra prefecture, Tanger-Tetuán region).
