Can I just say that this list is really fascinating at the moment? I don't even have a Romlang to throw into the mix, but this is great stuff. Interesting Vegliot (?) vocab that Adam's posting, which is making me think about possible sound shifts for my new baby: a South Germanic (or Mediterranean Germanic) lang for a people who ended up on an island near Corsica called Capraia, around 200 CE. Of course, there will be many Romance borrowings (and the orthography is heavily Romance-influenced). Anyone got any thoughts on which local Italian dialects to borrow from? I'm borrowing at different times, but trying to construct the modern language through sound changes. >> miarda - excrement miarla - blackbird << This little couplet made me smile, since the latter's Latin name is, of course, Merula turdus. Schoolboy humour, I know.
