I am Brian Bourque (IPA:[bɔɹk]), a native of Nashua, New Hampshire, USA and I currently live in Los Angeles, California. I am a novice conlanger and a seasoned polyglot. I speak, read, and write in 5 languages: Persian (Farsi and Dari), Korean, French, English (native), and basic German. I love languages and I want to continue my education in the field of diachronic linguistics. I am creating a language called, Lortho ['loɾ.tʰo] and it is still a work in progress.
