General information

I liked the idea of creating a constructed language to challenge myself and because I'm interested in languages. This isn't my first time working on a constructed language. I made some attempts before and I had some interesting ideas but I forgot about them... That's why I came here to put the ideas online while working on it, so other people can come up with suggestions and feedback and keep me going.
