Conlangs, anyone?

I'm curious to know if there are any conlang geeks in this group.

1. Well, there's me.

I've been known to invent entire language families in my spare time. :P

2. Me too

Back in my yoot I created a fantasy world and had several extensive languages for it as well. Lots of fun, mainly an excercise in grammar and such. I was more into constructing the languages than the rest of the fantasy world. I used to be seriously into language, but alas, life happened.

Also, my friend and I periodically chat (via IM) in a language we call Molto, which is a weird hybrid of French, Spanish, Latin, English, and plain made up words. It's all made up on the fly, which is fun.

Is there anyone geekier than a language geek??? :D

3. Doubtful.

Language geeks actually like rules to apply and be consistent in their (usually excruiciatingly detailed) fantasy worlds. :D
