Talk:West Germanic language

No problem, that's why I'm doing it anyway. And on that note, if you see other people's who are not linked, at least to the 3 English pages, High German, and others, then I'd encourage having them linked. Also, on the West Germanic page, I made a section for conlangs, and might for general Germanic Languages, I would say to add yours and to make a few notes, I didn't think it prudent to make a second language three though.--Blackkdark 05:22, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
