About Lynil
This is a personal language I am creating for my own use. My goal is to have a conlang that I can use in my daily life to express the things that are important to me in ways that I like. English works fine, but there are times I would just like to be able to say or think something differently, and just learning a new language doesn't scratch that itch enough...
I have some ideas for what that conlang philosophy means in specific linguistics terms, but for now everything is still very much in flux, and I'm guessing it will continue to change for a long time to come. Right now I keep waffling on what kind of phonoaesthetic I want, which makes it difficult to progress on anything beyond the phonology. Luckily, I'm in no hurry!
