Jameld - Conlang Profile	Advanced
Language Name Jameld Language Author James Campbell Year Began 1982 Site Jameld Broken Link No Site Language English Site Author James Campbell Language Type fictional diachronic language Editorial Jameld has over 4,000 words, derived from German, French, Dutch, Frisian and Esperanto. The author sums it up best, "Jameld is a constructed language, with an organic heart and an imaginary history. It is smooth and chocolatey on the outside, with a lovely fluffy centre, and it won't fill you up. Oh, and it looks like this: Te missa eri jist eskrïri int Jameld. Oquo na possmä zë vorvor ohn t'Internet!" Campbell has published Jameld translations in Zolid Matters, his e-journal. Uniqueness It's not supposed to be that unique... but the personal imperative is neat, and I like the differentiation between stative and resultative participles. Language Sources Originally: German, French. Latterly: Frisian, Dutch, German Design Principles The 'look and feel' is more important than strict linguistic correctness. If it feels Jameldic then it's right. Interest Of Others The members of te Binertglobakläi Jameld Zolidaton (the Jameld Association) all have some interest, and most know a few words. Some have formulated sentences, in speech, email or SMS messages. The membership is currently about 30. With one exception, their exposure to Jameld and conlanging in general is simply due to our friendship. Conculture Noun Phrase West Germanic conculture Quotation An laami jors'st guto as an dod' iko. Translation Better a lame horse than a dead one.
