About Huilenic
Huilenic started as an intentionally standard fantasy language for a high fantasy story, but I'm studying Ancient Greek and it's bleeding through grammatically (and in the definite article), so who knows where it will end up. Definitely not as complicated or irregular as Ancient Greek, though it beats it by number of voices (seven for ditransitive verbs). For some reason it has some initial consonant mutation (fortition, lenition, and nasalization).
Sample of Huilenic[view] Le vemarir. Zham? Lur i bemarir.
