Introducing Brujeric



I'm new here, and I'm anxious to share my enthusiasm for Romance 
languages, real and imagined.  I am currently studying Spanish, 
French, and Italian.

I'm an aspiring writer, and one of the stories I have floating around 
in my head is an epic fantasy involving warlocks/witches I call 
Brujerics.  These warlocks/witches have a single-continent world of 
their own (something like Tolkein's Middle Earth) that exists 
magically within the Pyrennees Mountains.  The land is called 
Brujerland, and it is split into two countries: Oscurland (evil) and 
Sorcerland (benevolent).

Anyway, I have come up with the basics of a Brujeric language.  It's 
basically a blend of French and Spanish, drawing most of its 
phonetics from Spanish but most of its vocabulary from French.  The 
grammar is, I estimate, about equally split between French and 
Spanish origin.

As I continue to develop and revise my linguistic outline, I would 
very much appreciate some feedback.  So, I'm going to post some very 
introductory information to give anyone who's interested a taste of 
Brujeric, and I'll give more information in subsequent posts.

Now, without further ado, I present titles and numbers in Brujeric.

Titles:
Mesiñor = Mister
Medama = Misses
Siñoreta = Miss
Dono = Sir (Brujeric knights, or chevaleros)
Dona = Lady
Vustra Noblesa = Your Highness; Your Majesty (literally "Your 
Nobleness")
Vustro Judicio = Your Honor (literally "Your Judiciousness")
