About High Meldanic
An a priori artlang designed to sound a bit like French, with a vaguely Indo-European grammar system, from a world called Meldance in a setting of my own called the Thronescape.
High Meldanic shares many features with its sister language Low Meldanic, such as a primarily fusional inflection system with some suffixes, but unlike the latter it is intentionally extremely complicated as it is only spoken by the rich Meldanic nobles.
