A mindmap detailing the basic language families and their relationships. Right-hand branches are planned, while left-hand branches are currently unplanned and may or may not be created. The map was created using FreePlane.

Everything is in flux is Rule #1. That's why this is in a wiki-type format. I haven't completely settled on a presentation style, so there may even be changes in that as we move forward. (And that was a stylistic 'we', meaning just 'I', because I'm not sharing the building duties with anyone right now. Or probably ever.)

Changes will happen slowly because I'm balancing a lot. I expect this project to take me years. Check back every month or so and you'll probably be fine.

Find me on Youtube if you wanna. I'm (slowly) making a series on fictional language construction. I don't claim to know everything. I just claim this land for Spain! ::plants flag, blows raspberry::
