Nice of you to say so, Sally. :-)

Who is Wolkwod?

1) Portuguese it is. Brazilian Portuguese, to be more precise. As previously
said, João is akin to John, Jean, Jan, Juan etc. I'm told Ricardo comes from
Germanic and means "lord" or something like that, not sure of that. Oliveira
means olive-tree.

2) Nowhere so far. Contrary to most people here, I just started conlanging after
I discovered other people did it. I've always been interested in linguistics
and human communication in general, and it seemed like a nice way to learn more
about it. I started a VSO agglutinative language, but it's really just a draft
yet. I'll try to post something about it later. ;-)
