LOL sounds giddy enough... Thanks for the site!! There was this site 
where they would show symbols, and when you click on them, you could 
here the symbol being pronounced. I couldn't find it anymore 
though... When I ever make time out of school, this'll make things 
easier for me when I represent my sounds.

Uh-huh! Only as a posteriori artistic language. (It would make it 
alot more natural). My aesthetic reasons were to exemplify the exotic 
beauty of the Roma cultutre, with Romance as a base tied in, with 
influences from other languages. Taglog is just because it's the most 
eastern one I know, understand, and kinda speak.
