Melroch 'Aestan aka Benct Philip Jonsson, creator of several conlangs, Sohlob, Mærik Slvanjec, Bâzrâmani and Knòškè (formerly called "B-Noric") being the current ones.

Only after I renamed "B-Noric" as Knòškè did it occur to me that both Slvanjec and Knòškè means 'language of (the) forest dwellers', but that they are separated by 2000 years and belong to different alternate timelines! I wonder what Gandalf would have thought of such a "coincidence"!

I'm also the perpetrator of the semiserious Ný AngloSaxon Speling.
