Lingua Lucaria has some Hellenic gramatical features in it, which makes sense, since it started life as a traders interlanguage between Carthage, Masilia, Iberia and Magna Grecia. In The World, Greek itself died out long ago in favour of Persian and later Lucarian; but it left quite a goodly amount of vocabulary (especially medical, philosophical and religious) and some grammar. I can't recall any examples off hand except -de which is used to start off an independent clause. Oh, yeah: Lucaria is properly written in Hellenic letters. So you can add that to the list of at least Greek inspired conlangs! Padraic. ===== Ories-si la Sulis couant goueniont y vathin, levont y vus des al trefoelea, levont y vrum des y vagges; aie! mays couant levab-el il mew cords? -- per tradicièn Quemrech .
