Aingeljã
Constructed language, also known as Angelian, created just for fun by Ángel Serrano since 1986, based on the main featured of the romance languages. The pronunciation of the name of this language is /ajNge"lja/ in the X-SAMPA representation.
Aingeljã is a new romance language belonging to the western branch, Eastern-Iberian-Romance group. It is therefore very close to other languages such as Spanish, Aragonese and Catalan, although it contains important similarities with Galician-Portuguese, Occitan, French and Italian. There are some germanic traces, especially from English and German. Its phonology is very close to that of the Catalan dialect spoken in Valencia (Spain), the so-called Valencian. Any person who is able to read texts written in Spanish, Catalan, Occitan or Italian, would not have any problems when reading something in Angelian.
In 2005 Aingeljã occupied rank 118 of most popular constructed languages, according to the web Langmaker.com.
