I do like the idea of that kind of script but it's devilishly difficult to create; I had been thinking of creating a simpler Ge'ez based abugida as an alternative and older script for Jukpë.

I'm doing my family in the same order too: with Lôppic still being quite regulated, all the way down to Kyánnic which, being the least spoken, is hardly regulated at all and has lost all but five cases.

Is there anything else in particular that you think makes my language seem artificial? A natural, albeit regulated, language is what I want after all.

When absolutely all the grammar is completed I was planning on explaining the differences between registers as well as adding colloquial phrases, changes and possibly elisions. Maybe after all that I might start on ancestor languages.

How do you work your languages into your stories, do you show bilingual speech? Do you use it to derive place names too?
