About Falliani
(Previously "Fake Italian" with code FIL.)
100% Italian phonology/orthography ripoff (/bastardization) & a lot of typological and structural similarities but without any derived vocab; so basically a shitty relex, but on purpose, because, it's fun, heck to you.
(Any actual lexical similarities to actual Italian/Romance (or Germanic or... any other language) words are purely coincidental.)
