As I can't quite get this chart working for me [having stolen it from Chrys with no idea how to code] here are the other languages/major dialects in simpler format; | As I can't quite get this chart working for me [having stolen it from Chrys with no idea how to code] here are the other languages/major dialects in simpler format; | ||

*Meiya is large and serves as a rough China analogue; it consists of numerous dialects, none of them are politically independant. Refering to it as a isolate is dodgy, rather it has absorbed most of its relatives. | *Meiya is large and serves as a rough China analogue; it consists of numerous dialects, none of them are politically independant.

Fully developed languages | |||

*Possibly Toryl- Seems heavily influenced by Romance languages as the culture is vaguely Roman. I intend to introduce other elements, especially from the mess which is Galavic languages in order to keep it unique. | *Possibly Toryl- Seems heavily influenced by Romance languages as the culture is vaguely Roman.

Partially Functional Languages | ====Partially Functional Languages==== | ||
Some basic Phrases/Grammar sufficent for Place&Personal Names, Basic Conversation; 300 Word Maximum | |||
*Meiyan- [Basic Notes Exist already from original author which I have modified and interpreted to some degree; in theory it is already functional but serves as a crueder cousin to Fén with unique roots]. | *Meiyan- [Basic Notes Exist already from original author which I have modified and interpreted to some degree; in theory it is already functional but serves as a crueder cousin to Fén with unique roots]. | ||

Lexicon | ====Lexicon==== | ||
Largely Personal and Place names, some basic phrases in order to give the impression of more developed language. | |||
*Kergan- Designed to be a strange language with a forbidding phonology, little else is set in stone though it is apparently Tonal, which I have little experience with. Some infixing seems to be at play. | *Kergan- Designed to be a strange language with a forbidding phonology, little else is set in stone though it is apparently Tonal, which I have little experience with.

*Hainic Tribes- Saremitas with various sound changes. Not bothered develop much and for the most part, it is a fairly diverse group so once the general sounds/feel is set out, I'm free to scribble in whatever., | *Hainic Tribes- Saremitas with various sound changes.

*Southern Islands- A minor place. I may just end up making it highly isolating and putting in vaguely Hawaiian sounding names and places and hope no one notices. | *Southern Islands- A minor place.

*Players [including myself initially] were interested in keeping to "sounds they could pronounce" so many languages are "English with a lot sounds cut out and a couple added in to make it sound foreign". This might make it harder to create a retroactive history for them, though I may start developing stronger accents for them as I get more comfortable with phonology. | *Players [including myself initially] were interested in keeping to "sounds they could pronounce" so many languages are "English with a lot sounds cut out and a couple added in to make it sound foreign".
