About Gra
One of my few Eurolangs. Designed to have a 'heavy' sound (Límba Gra means 'heavy language'). Probably a lot of vaguely Euro-sounding words.
Impressionistically based on Portuguese, Russian, French, Welsh, and Polish phonologically. Grammatically, probably mainly Portuguese and French. I always twist things though.
