Iuhan Culmærija (Eng: John the Culmærian, Afr: Johan die Koelmaeriër, Srn: Yuħann h-Culmeryya) : sketch-artlanger, altlanger, as well as conscript-enthusiast.

I was raised a bilingual (Afrikaans and English) since birth. At the primary school I attended, “Xhosa as third language” was compulsory from Grades 1 to 7, but I never really liked it and cannot remember anything more than “molo mhlobo wam” (hello, my friend). In Grade 5 a few friends and I used Tolkien’s Cirth runes to write notes. Although I did not discover the Tolkienian tongues, this did spark my interest in codes and conscripts. Manga later introduced me to Japanese. Although my attempts at learning the language bore no fruits, I “caught the language bug.” In high school, I started studying French (and very casually working at Dutch and Latin); I developed an interest in comparative/historical linguistics ... and eventually started conlanging.

Conlangery

To me, conlanging is a very personal art-form. While I like originality and hope that my languages are interesting to others, my primary goal is to create a language that conforms to my aesthetic preferences and can express my paradigm and thought structures. I really like well made Indo-European a posteriori conlangs, especially if the grammar is fresh and interesting. I enjoy the "vaguely familiar" flavour of altlangs and lostlangs. I fully enjoy creating and using my romlang, Syrunian.
I am also a con-script enthusiast. The perfect writing system, for me, has a balance between beauty, legibility and ease of writing (practicality). I have not yet been able to achieve this ideal with my own creations. My absolute favourite writing system is Cursive Hebrew. Although it is not a con-script, is quite attractive and, fortunately, both practical and legible as well.
