User blog comment:The Kaufman/Germanic challenge - Voting!/@comment-24425594-20150920105607

So my votes are:

+1 to Idoburgish. First of all, I'm a selfish asshole and care about my conlangs the most. Second, I wanted to frig it up and I've frigged it up. Third, I've succeeded in mocking Limburgish. I think so, at least. Now the drawbacks: a lot of the sound changes were redundant and/or marginal and alas I was (and am, and will be) too lazy to clear them up, and I think I still have to provide a lot of info about the inflection.

+1 to Selingian. That's the funniest jokelang I've seen in a while. Good work, ED. The relay won't be as fun with Selingian being in the end though. Now seriously. It's great and indeed funny. Also, it's ugly and unpronounceable, which isn't bad in my own opinion.

-1 to Swamp Gothic. I like it, actually, but it's like a 1600s musket - well-finished but raw. Looks pretty realistic as well. Now the drawbacks. You've picked the wrong place - you should've placed it in Czechoslovakia because of that palatalization and, well, the phonology and sound changes, buuut that's more aesthetic. A bit too few sound changes yet it is different enough not to just be considered a dialect. Germanic version of Soc, I'd say. And what freaked me out is an unchanged Russian word - how come it could occur in a language that is spoken in /rural/ Ukraine? Redundant sound change (a, ā > o, a after a/o, ā/ō > o/a) present as well, but I have shitloads of them and everyone is obviously too lazy to detect them. P.S. all of that comes from a fluent Ukrainian speaker. :P

(Dis)honorable mentions:

Boyait. First, the article declension. Original, yes, but a bit too weird IMO. Second, you wanted to place it in Bavaria but the sound changes remind me more of East Low German dialects. I'd say this is a High German dialect with the word "high" being used in sense, erm, "intoxicated".

Karahien. "Dafuq?" at everything. Nonsensical sound changes, unclear syntax, tables, and way more. Would give it a -2 if I wouldn't care about everything else.
