Well, at least the source of the words is more transparent than in
French/English ;)

Well, I only set it up for the purposes of comparison and to placehold
my new site. But if I feel so inspired I may :P (actually having a
page with the same sentence in a ton of romconlangs and romnatlangs
may be fun, but that's a little different)

Thanks! I do have some word changes not yet posted like yanu (from
diana) for moon and some loanwords from my other conlangs (and some
natlangs like English), but I tried to get the grammar online at least. 

I don't know, that started when I was trying to insult someone in it :P

Yeah, I think I got the idea when I accidentally slurred a Spanish
word when tired, palatizing the i.
