Newbie



Hello! My name is Kevyn, and I'm 15 years old. I live in BC, and I 
adore the beauty and cadence of the Romance languages, despite how 
after looking at the other posts, I'm not apt at creating a conlang 
with historical references; I'm also a conlang artist, or a 
glossopoet. I'm looking forward to enjoying this group, despite any 
homework that may bombard me in the future.

I love languages; I've grown a sudden connection with them when I was 
13 on a very boring summer. I am Filipino, so I do understand Tagalog 
(I can't string together sentences well though), and I'm learning 
French and Spanish at school. Out of school, I know how to read, 
write, and speak basic Esperanto, and I know conversational Japanese. 
I would like to learn either Portuguese or Italian, depending on my 
mood in the future, as well as Latin, Sanskrit, Hawai'ian, 
Mandarin/Korean, Indonesian, and maybe if any time, Lojban or 
Swahili. I like languages, though I tend to love the ones less 
spoken; I'll take Hawai'ian over Japanese any day, because of 
popularity. Some of my hobbies also include cultural activities 
(which I would like to learn about,) rollerblading, origami, religion 
(I used to be Wiccan, I was 'saved' in a Pentecostal church, and now 
I'm Catholic; I still love, enjoy and respect the beliefs of many 
religions) and that's it for my intro since it's getting longer.

PS: What if the Roma spoke a Romance dialect, a pidgin you might say? 
That when they travelled, they had this dialect that would connect to 
other Roma in the Romance-spoken countries of Europe, yet with 
vocabulary from other countries and Romani? I'm creating a conlang 
based on this hypothesis, but as instead of something historical, my 
own artistic creation; a fusion of beauty that shows my appreciation 
for the Roma and the Romance languages. It's not an 'elite' thing, 
but is it conceivable? (historically anyways).
