| Introduction | I'm Italian (I apologize if my English is not perfect!); 17 years old. I have been working on this language for 1.5 years (but started with conlangs at 12). The words (3000, more or less) are almost all borrowed and re-adapted from other 'real' languages. Orthography's quite difficult. It doesn't sound as harsh as it looks! Grammar is unusual, but not too much: I wanted Nawrean to seem as natural as I could make it. It will soon be the official language of a micronation. |
