Hey guys!
So, this is not actually an RP site, although it is affiliated with an RP site that I'll whip up an ad for later.
One of my primary hobbies is inventing languages. Yes, yes, "What, why would you do that?" and whatever. For the same reasons painters paint, really.
So, I have information on my latest project online. I still need to get the lessons up on it--there's actually a decent group of awesomely awesome people working on learning the language, which is really cool for me! Sort of like, if you wrote a song, and then somebody liked it enough to learn how to play it.
On the off chance that you're a language nerd like me: the language is a priori, meaning it isn't based off of any real or other fictional language, but its grammar features elements reminiscent of Mohawk, Oneida, Navajo, Lakhota, Japanese, Mandarin, Spanish, Arabic (sooort of), and others.
On the website currently I have a small translation bank, a reasonably documented reference grammar, and a lexicon.
If you have any comments or criticisms (either on the language, if you're so inclined, or on the look and design of the website), I'd very much appreciate them!

For giggles, here's a sample!

"We are the moon's children, people of the northland which the Moon has blessed. We are the silent keepers of the snow-born rivers, the mountains under the stars, and the forests by the sea. We listen, we watch, and we see. This is our home; let there be no doubt that we will protect it with everything we have."
