Hi, my name is Nicolás and I'm from Argentina. | |||
Having been interested in language for as long as I can remember, I first started crafting languages when I was about 12 years old (ca. 2000) and did so for the following two or three years. After that there was a hiatus in which I achieved a lot of other things, but didn't produce any new conlang-related material. Starting again ca. 2012, I've been both adding to my old projects and developing many new ones. | |||
My native language is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rioplatense_Spanish Rioplatense Spanish] ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_dialects_and_varieties#/media/File:Dialectos_del_idioma_espa%C3%B1ol_en_Argentina.png Bonaerense]), and I've been learning English since my early childhood. I've also been learning German for quite some years ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_European_Framework_of_Reference_for_Languages C2]), Finnish and Italian for much less. | |||
I'm passionate about and enjoy learning languages and about languages and their many intricacies, as well as I like travelling to get to know the different aspects of the cultures of the world. Besides designing languages and writing systems, I study philosophy (undergraduate) and also like to read, draw and make music. | |||

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 here [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. | |||
Please take into account that this listing can be said to be incomplete in at least two senses: ''existing conlangs'' are still being wikified, and ''new conlangs'' will continue expanding it. | |||
