Romlang of Romlangs

 * Thank you! I had doubts, mostly about whether it would turn out intelligible. - IHCOYC (talk) 19:40, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

Borrowing
Hello fellow romlanger! First of all, I just want to say that I am very impressed with your lang! It is one of my favorite conlangs on the wiki (the other is Xwarṣa, ED's conlang). I'm also doing a romlang, [Standard] Shax. I'm consistantly redoing it, and in this incarnation I want to borrow some of your words and sound changes. May I? And also, since I'm here already, you should join us in the chat sometime. I feel that you know what you're talking about and that you'd like our community (of more or less 15 people).

 * Be my guest. I must admit that I borrowed most of the tables from other folks's pages; not that good with the markup myself.  (Now I suppose I'll have to redo Nuirn with tables as well.)  - IHCOYC (talk) 12:24, June 16, 2015 (UTC)

I don't mean to be rude, but I thought the Vandals were a Germanic tribe, and spoke a Germanic language? Either way, this is a great romlang and highly exceeds the quality of many romlangs I've seen.

Vandals
I thought the Vandals were a Germanic tribe and thus spoke a Germanic language? I don't mean to be rude because this is a great romlang and highly exceeds the quality of many romlangs I've seen.

 * Yes, indeed they were.  Then again so were the Franks and the Langobards; didn't disqualify them from becoming the namesakes for Romance languages (French, Lombardic).  - 68.73.148.170 00:15, July 11, 2015 (UTC)

question
hello! I've been wanting to make a post-priori, naturalistic conlang for a bit, but I've been lacking inspiration. now I'm wondering if it would be ok if I make a conlang derived from yours?Yourchilihanditover (talk) 00:23, May 3, 2020 (UTC)

Research
Hey, I just saw your African Romance Conlang. Good job, it looks like a lot of though went in to it, however there are some things I do want to note.

After watching I came across some things mentioned about African romance.

For one is evidence (Vandal Tablets) suggested there wasn't distinction between "v" and "b". (like in Spanish), yet your language does distinguish between them (did distinction re-evolve later?).

In addition, it also notes that African Romance kept hard "k" sounds as opposed to many other romance languages which softened them.

ex: Italian "Pace" (Peace) was "Pake" in the "Grave Inscriptions of Tripolitania". However your word for "Peace" was "Paxi" which has the soft "sh" sound.

I understand that some of these sources might not have been available back when you made this language, but I do think it's worth pointing out.

However, I do like how you pointed out the lack of long vs short vowels, and the maintaining of the "i" from the fusion of latin long "e" and short "i". Good job on your research.
