Re: Yorkish
Hooray! I was hoping for a thread on this. Your samples looked juicy. Yorkish ( Eurcisc /ˈʏrcɪsc/) is an Insular North Germanic language spoken in Yorkrice (ie. across our Yorkshire and going partway south) and in pockets in Angland. It is closely related to its southern sibling Markish, I assume M...

Oh, thanks! Do you know a bit about it, then? A bit, yeah. Mostly from personal study; I haven't really worked with it in a conlanging sense.

Re: Arayaz's thread so that she doesn't flood the forum
I'm considering Old Chinese, since it's isolating (and I've been on an isolating-language kick recently), but I don't know anything about it, so I'd be going in blind. It seems to have a fair number of reconstructed words, but I also don't read any Chinese characters, so it would be hard to find on...
