I'm back...

I remember some of you!  I was a member of this list last year, and when I found one of my posts in a Google search for Nostratic or something I forgot, I decided to come back.
 
About me.  I'm not a linguist or an archaeologist; I'm an aspiring writer, musician, inventor, game designer.  In other words, I'm unemployed.  I just happen to have an interest in languages, including proto-languages (specifically the theorized Nostratic families) and constructed languages (short form "conlangs").  Only language I can speak that well is Spanish; I just dabble in Russian, French, Arabic, Urdu, Georgian, Korean, Irish etc.  For some reason I'm obsessed with phonology.  Maybe it's the musician in me; I'm attracted to the acoustic elements of language...
 
My current project is one or more IE-based conlangs for an RPG project I got going.  I'm also *trying* to come up with a global IAL more or less based on the top six languages in the world (four of them being IE: English, Spanish, Russian, Hindi-Urdu; the others are Arabic and Mandarin).
 
Sláinte,
