Introduction
Myssela is for me. My first five conlangs have been for my conworld called Kepa. This conlang is just for my own personal use. I’ve always wanted a conlang to write in but due to the nature of my conlang I could not add modern words such as “computer” or even “credit card”. Myssela is a mash-up of all my favourite grammar points as well as some new ones! Myssela will be simple enough to learn but complicated enough that it will feel ‘complete’. I hope to someday write journal entries in Myssela. Journal entries that will only be for my eyes of course. ;)
