Not sure yet how to go about building the sections on this website. But I think I'll just go with whatever feels right at the time.

Since this is the languages section, I aim to create a pair of subsections: one for natural languages, and the other for constructed languages.

I am not so into the subject of languages to the same degree that some other people seem to be; I consider myself more of a casual enjoyer than a scholar, so what you will probably see here will be my random thoughts on certain languages, perhaps some links to study resources, and whatever else that I might find to be related to the topic. We'll see what this becomes as time goes on...

Here are a few of the natural languages that I have personally studied and learned to a greater or lesser extent.

• English—Native speaker.
• Spanish—Also native.
• Modern Standard Arabic—spent about two years studying it; knowing Spanish and Esperanto somehow helped.
• French—I think my pronunciation is decent. I don't speak very much, though.
• German—I know very little. Es tut mir leid.
• Latin—I am familiar with it because of my Catholic and Spanish-language background. But I have not formally studied it.
• Russian—I learned Cyrillic ages ago. I can more or less recognize the structure of a written sentence, but that's about it. I also like the sound of "здравствуйте".

Commonly known as conlangs; here are some of the constructed languages that I am interested in for one reason or another.

• Esperanto—The first language that I studied outside of English and Spanish. It was a lot of fun—still can be—and dramatically quick to pick up. Visit my links page for some Esperanto-related links .
• Interlingua—Seems relatively simple, and I find it easy to read.
• Romance Neolatino—After learning about Interslavic, I was very pleased to find its counterpart for speakers of the Romance languages. Glad I didn't have to settle for Interlingua in that aspect.
• Latine Sine Flexione—A simplified Latin; seems interesting.
• Latsin/Lø—Like Latine Sine Flexione but further reduced. Just a random thing I found that got my attention. See this link to learn more about it.
• Occidental/Interlingue—Basically Interlingua's weird older cousin who went missing and was found living in a cave several decades later.
• Lingua Franca Nova/Elefen/LFN—Creole-like Romance auxlang; dope.
• Maloslovanski—LFN for Slavs; also dope.
• Toki Pona —Goofy ass conlang. I did not find it as enjoyable as the others. Mentioned here because of its fame.
