What's wrong with Barakhinei, then? :) You certainly seem to
expect to some extent that people will try to learn Verdurian.

Mark replied: <br>
There's nothing wrong with it-- in fact, linguistically, it has
more interesting features and it's more consistent. I just figured
it was more obscure.

<p>
And it also seems more daunting grammatically than Verdurian, at
least to me -- especially its inflections, which seem to exhibit a
fair amount of sound-shifting. (This is also a part of Ismaîn
which looks difficult to master.)

<hr><i>Mark responds:
<p>True... there are quite a few concessions to the learner in Verdurian,
but I didn't worry about this in Barakhinei. (I think writing the samples
was hardest in Barakhinei and Cadhinor. But hey, practice helps!)
