Nomination Rules

 * 1) The language must have the banner translated or be in a stage where it can be done by anyone.
 * 2) Conlangs may be re-nominated for another go after having won when 3 months have passed.
 * 3) State the purpose of the conlang in the description.

Nominating

 * Pacardian I nominate my Pacardian, my Romance conlang. It draws from languages such as Catalan, French, Galician, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. The phonology and orthography are easy to learn, as is the simplified grammar. Masculine and feminine genders are present, though only in nouns and their articles. The lexicon contains a good amount of everyday vocabulary, mostly originating from cognates shared amongst Neolatin tongues. In exchange for some more originality, the language was not necessarily created to unite Romance speakers, but may be used as such. The use of j and w to represent the semivowels /j/ and /w/ respectively is an intended departure from typical Romance. In addition, like Romance languages in general, Pacardian is arguably beautiful in both writing and speech. --Isaac Bonewits 17:01, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Quai'op. I'll renominate just for the heck of it. The language is easy because every word has equal or double meanings, and there's no redundance.  The main concern when I was making the language was information flow.  There's little vocab resemblance, but it's still easy enough to learn.  The grammar is unique and fun, and the phonology is somewhat easy.  —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 01:37, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Voting Rules
To make things clear, you can start voting before the 21st and until the last day (28th) change the votings whenever your heart so pleases. You will vote con or pro for a language, you don't have to do both, if you think it has only con then you vote con and describe why its con or pro. The rules will be these thought:
 * 1) Self voting does not count to the total (There are far too few of us to dilute the effect).
 * 2) Pro vote on oneself is a self vote
 * 3) Con vote on everyone else is self vote
 * 4) You may vote cons on all but one as a non-nominee, as nominee it is all but two. Pro votes may go to all but ones own conlang.
 * 5) Unregistered voters may not vote, but are still welcome to post comments and such.
 * 6) Newly registered people may not vote for 3 weeks and must be working on a conlang of some sort
 * 7) Try voting what you think looks best in accordance to these criterias.
 * 8) Realistic: Does the language look as if it could be spoken, written, listened to and read understandably?
 * 9) Goal: Does it reach the goal it is meant to fullfill, if it intends being universal judge it in accordance, if it tries being natural judge it in accordance.
 * 10) Completeness: How close is it to completion?
 * 11) Bots (ZeBot) cannot vote at all.
