Hello, I'm '''Nicholas''', creating languages since 1998~1999 from [[w:Buenos Aires|Buenos Aires]], [[w:Argentina|Argentina]]. First inspirations at that time came from learning English, French and some notions of Greek terminology and Latin (very vague). Later on other influences were [[w:Tolkien|Tolkien]]'s Elvish languages, [[w:Old English|Old English]], [[w:Old Norse|Old Norse]] among others. Some languages I've studied to a higher degree include English, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Russian and Croatian. Also I've studied [[w:Classical Languages|Classical Languages]] at the university ([[w:Latin|Latin]], [[w:Ancient Greek|Ancient Greek]], [[w:Sanskrit|Sanskrit]]) and some Ancient languages like [[w:Sumerian|Sumerian]], [[w:Akkadian|Akkadian]].
Hello, I’m Nicholas, a language creator from Buenos Aires, Argentina, active since 1997. My earliest inspirations came from learning English and French, with scattered exposure to Greek and Latin terminology. Later influences included Tolkien’s Elvish languages, Old English, and Old Norse. I have studied several modern languages in depth—English, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, and Croatian—and pursued Classical Languages at university (Latin, Ancient Greek, Sanskrit), along with ancient languages such as Sumerian and Akkadian. My main interest lies in [[a priori]] naturalistic languages, though I have also explored [[a posteriori]] projects and experimental approaches.


I'm more into ''[[a priori]]'' naturalistic languages, but I've dabbled in ''[[a posteriori]]'' too, and of course, some experiments as well!
I began conlanging around July 1997 during high school. [[User:Nicomega/Historical conlangs|My first projects]] were two related a priori languages: '''Baladi''', intended to evoke a Graeco-Roman atmosphere, and '''Dellos''', conceived as the speech of “barbarians.” I then created '''Gin’amed''', inspired by reconstructed Egyptian pronunciation and Semitic triliteral systems, followed by '''Senshra''', a deeper attempt to build vocabulary with strong personal semantic associations. These early works form what I consider Phase I (Baladi and Debilen) and Phase II (Gin’amed and Senshra).
 
Phase III expanded into new directions with languages such as '''Manketzal''', '''Shelud''', '''Xoršid''', and '''Kežtuzakil''', leading to Phase IV and later projects including Phase V (e.g., '''Warthuz''') and subsequent creations like '''Lassakirthi''', '''[[Tulvan]]''', and '''Kareyku'''.
