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 using this, too.

Most of the stuff I've put here are (and will be) "minor" languages of my althistory Earth' (Earth-prime) and come with working titles ranging from prime-appended "duplicates" of real language families (eg. Nilotic') to nonsense names ending in -ax (see indax). Doodles in both diachronic and synchronic phonology, basically.

Those interested in a posteriori languages may want to check out the Angrex project, not of the same 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 using the wiki also for some natlinguistics stuff - articles I've written so far include Aspiration, Finnish and Velar consonant. Plus occasional maintenance (to do: sort the Latin block of the SCI box at a by-letter basis)
