If i had a page up, i'd suggest Montreiano too (so's you could take a gander at it), which went with the idea of sound changes *i* thought were cool, yet followed also what had happened in old Spanish, or what happened but didn't follow through all the way. A lot of the sound changes are simply what I thought sounded pretty (final /l/ to /w/ or /u/: el > eu (/ew/ or /eu/). I did however follow the model of typical western iberian romance languages which is why it looks similar in many respects to both Spanish and Portuguese. But it's my own creation and I think it's pretty damn neat. Here's a smaple. Eu cavauio sautó sovre eu arvóu caío en un campo d'êrvas verds e autas.
