Uniqueness	This is a very Tolkien-esque language that I originally made as a few words for a story that I wrote. Later, I liked it so much that I decided to make a complete language. I did not realize at the time just how hard that would be, but I've gotten pretty far. I've finally forced my computer to upload a wordlist and will work on it diligently.
Language Sources	I drew my main inspiration from Quenya and Sindarin, but I tried to add a bit of Irish and other unique languages.
Design Principles	I tried to design the language to be gentle to the ear yet relatively easy to speak. I also specifically designed it to be very anti-English, with its own sound patterns, idioms, etc.
Interest Of Others	So far, most of my immediate family knows about this, and some friends, but I have not told many people about it yet.
