I can tell you, my inexperience has brought alot of speakers from 
whence I came here in this forum group thingy. I've learned more 
about languages here than in the other groups, and at school! Of 
course, from just learning about the differentiation of languages in 
India will take some memory, but if I want to be proficient at this 
field, I have to keep learning!

Ok, ok. So the colloquial language versus 'formal' language. So 
Vulgar latin diverged into these dialects, while Classical remained 
with little change?

Thank you! My introduction for the conlang faded away when I became 
mesmerised on what knowledge I lacked. It was mainly the distinct 
slight differentiation of the languages that poked me. But the more I 
learn, the more I'll be (hopefully) expertise. I will post up the 
phonology, but I do like some constructed critisism; I get easily 
swayed since I sometimes can be a slight perfectionist.
