Henrik already mentioned two languages: J�rg Rhiemeier's "Germanech"
and Dan Jones' "Jelbazech". You can see samples of both languages at
my Relay page, <http://steen.free.fr/relay10/list.html>.

A third language built on the same premise is Joe Hill's "Lessinu". I
don't know how well-developed it is, though. I suppose Google will
turn up anything there's to know about it.

A fourth language that is sometimes counted is Christian Thalmann's
"Jovian". A v�ry nice language, but I don't think it was explicitly
meant to become Germano-Romance, although it has a few Germanic
features in it.

Hope that answers your question!
