Wow! Great article on invented languages
My friend Dave Malinowski put me onto this terrific article, where two experts on invented languages answer questions about the topic. The experts are Paul Frommer, inventor of Avatar's Na'vi language, and Arika Okrent, author of "In the Land of Invented Languages." Check it out!

It was interesting, I guess. Lot's of good general info for newbies.

We need an international language, for the future, as well. http://ikso.net/broshuro/pdf/malkovru_esperanton_en.pdf Also http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8837438938991452670
A glimpse of the Esperanto language can be seen at http://www.lernu.net :)
I enjoyed the article thoroughly. It made me want to get cracking on Calindria again and figuring out the language/cultural world of Chirrith. Thank you for sharing, Juliette. I swear, you're the only blog that keeps me fuelled with a good dose of language, culture, and why I should have fun actually creating them.
