re: Raamaniyaan & IB &



Me too!  :)  I always end up doing this kind of thing when I
really ought to do other things, though...


I know the feeling...mostly.


Raamaniyaan and Persian actually don't have the *exact* same
phonological development.  The idea is that R. has coexisted
in bilingualism with Persian since Middle Persian times, but
there are still differences, mainly the phoneme /J/ which is
not found in Persian and the distribution of /l/
sort of like how Kurdish and Turkish, related though they are, don't have identical alphabets, yes? 



>If you want to implement Raamaniyaan in IB (which I would welcome),

I have also thought along those lines! :)


welcome back to IB.

>Farsi, although I'm not sure how firmly;

Very firmly I hope!  An IB without Persian would have too
grave repercussions on both Turkic and Indic cultural and
linguistic history!


hrmm...



That, or even Khazakh or Uzbek territory would be a possibility.
I would not want an area which was Turkicized too early, though!


so, not Anatolia or Central Asia?
You would still end up in Turkestan, then. Or perhaps in the Moghul National 
Realm (created and then abandoned by Rodlox, if I understood him correctly


you have.


should add that the whole region is rather dormant.


at present.

we can make no promises regarding the future.  :)


Whatever your choice will be, I'm ready to support it.


as shall I.
