Aka John Vertical on CONLANG (and other, unrelated mailing lists). On forums, wikis, etc. I use this nick - pretty sure I'm the only one on the 'net using this, too.

Most of the stuff I've put here are (and will be) languages of my althistory Earth' (Earth-prime). You can recognize them from working titles that are either prime-appended counterparts of real languages or families (eg. Japanese') or nonsense names ending in -ax (see indax). Doodles in both diachronic and synchronic phonology, basically. Only a few projects have internal names yet, most prominently Ouiqál and Åzuli.

I'm also a participant of the Round Robin Conlang project.

Those interested in a posteriori languages may want to check out the Angrex project, not of the Earth' series despite the similar name. Perhaps my more loglangy projects will some day be here too, but they're a bit too much in flux currently.

I'm furthermore contributing various general linguistics information, mostly on phonology - articles I've written so far include Allophone, Aspiration, Spirant and Velar consonant — as well as some natlinguistics stuff (generally around Uralic historical phonology, see Proto-Uralic, Finnish) and occasional maintenance.

To do

• sort the Latin block of the SCI box on a by-letter basis
• upload labiodental flap icon & create Template:B\ for substituting
• C J Q V in a fashion similar to X (why not eventually all the rest too)
• Comparision of ASCII phonetic alphabets
• Add linguistic universals from Universals Archive (User:Tropylium/Temp)
  • Done up to 8
    • yeah J, ain't that a feat
• clean up Body Parts in Your Conlangs?
