Brooding (ISO-639-3:qbd; BRCL:brdg) is an a priori language originally created by Veronica Hamilton for the [https://www.riddlesbrood.com/ Riddlesbrood Touring Theater Company]. Brooding is used in the company's theme song and logo, and was used in their 2012 production of ''The Dark Side Show'', the 2015 and 2017 productions of ''Harken'', and 2016 book ''[http://a.co/a99TS0G Riddlesbrood: The Greatest Brochure in the World]''. Jamin has been curating and expanding the language on behalf of Riddlesbrood since the fall of 2014. | Brooding (ISO-639-3:qbd; BRCL:brdg) is an a priori language originally created by Veronica Hamilton for the [https://www.riddlesbrood.com/ Riddlesbrood Touring Theater Company].

Dlatci is an a priori language that Jamin has been working on since 1994. It has undergone some massive changes over the years, though, and is currently in a state that isn’t entirely “presentable.” He hopes to fix this soon. | Dlatci is an a priori language that Jamin has been working on since 1994.

===[[Gothic Romance]]=== | |||
Building off of the original idea of what [[Valthungian]] was supposed to be, before it became what it is instead, [[Gothic Romance]] is actually a collection of three languages in several stages. It starts with the idea that the Goths who sacked Rome in 410ᴀᴅ continued to speak Gothic (or a close relative thereof) in parallel with Latin, rather than just switching to Latin completely as they did. This gave way to [[Old Valthungian]], much as described, but from there, the development changes course from what eventually leads to [[Middle Valthungian]], and by around 1200ᴀᴅ we find ourselves in a remote northern Italian town where the locals all speak both a form of Gothic and a form of post-Vulgar Latin which come to have a roughly equivalent phonology. From this point, the two languages exist in tandem, borrowing words back and forth between them until eventually we end up with [[Gothic Romance]]. Is it a Romance language with a lot of Gothic vocabulary? Maybe. Is it a Germanic language with a lot of Latin vocabulary? Maybe. Is it a creole? Probably not, but also maybe. Is it dark and spooky and probably something that vampires would speak if they were feeling particularly poetic? Definitely. | |||
[[Gothic Romance]] is the result of the evolution and gradual merging of two historic languages, [[Italian Gothic]] (a 13ᵗʰ-century descendant of [[Old Valthungian]]) and a yet-unnamed Romance language (possibly of the Rhaeto-Romance or Gallo-Italic persuasion; a 13ᵗʰ-century descendant of Vulgar Latin): | |||
====[[Italian Gothic]]==== | |||
Stay tuned, because I have no idea where this is going!... | |||
====Some Vague 13ᵗʰ-Century Post-Vulgar Latin Romlang==== | |||
See above. | |||

Northeadish (BRCL:nthd) is an a posteriori Germanic language with some medievalist flair. Work on the language has ceased, and it is gradually being subsumed into [[Middle Valthungian]]. | Northeadish (BRCL:nthd) is an a posteriori Germanic language with some medievalist flair.

Nymeran is an a priori language originally created by Niamh NíDhúill (Colm Doyle) for Mythopoeia's comic ''[https://www.mythopoeia.us/glow.html Glow]''. Jamin has been curating and expanding the language on behalf of Mythopoeia since the spring of 2021. | |||

Over the years Jamin has invented dozens of other languages to various states of completion ranging from a few scribbled notes to monstrosities like '''Latinovesa''', his first and only Aux-Rom-Lang, of which we shall never speak again. Most of them didn't have names. Some of them had ridiculous names, like '''ɮaxu''' or '''Baraqesh''' or '''Iatu Nukta Amat'''. | Over the years Jamin has invented dozens of other languages to various states of completion ranging from a few scribbled notes to monstrosities like '''Latinovesa''', his first and only Aux-Rom-Lang, of which we shall never speak again.
