Hi, I’m ''Leonard'' (in my [[w:Lombard language|Lombard variant]]: {{IPA|[le.uˈnaːrt]}}) | Hi, I’m ''Leonard'' (in my [[w:Lombard language|Lombard variant]]: {{IPA|[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 [[w:Liguria|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, [[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 [[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. | 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.
