About Sipalh
Sipalh is a language I was working on while in college. I recently came across the notes I made, so I decided to document them in a nicer format. The notes are full of "Should I do this?" and "Not sure what to do here" which I will be leaving as is. I may come back to this language at some point, but for now it's purely a matter of self-archaeology.
This is what I wrote about the speakers of Sipalh: "It is spoken by the Sipuime, a culture who live far to the north on a great northern continent."
I'm also positive I was working on a version of the Babel text, but I can't find that now.
