=About Llaiswynt=

Hi everybody! My name's Michele: it is an Italian male name and it is read as [mi'kɛ:le]. Here I'm using Llaiswynt instead. Llaiswynt is a creation of mine: it comes from Welsh words for voice, that is llais, and for wind, that is gwynt. I'm not a Welsh speaker, but I've tried to learn it on my own and still do it (when I have enough time). Why? Because I'm interested in (all) languages and I think Celtic ones have got a wonderful sound. Now, about me... I'm studying foreign languages (German and Spanish mainly, but also Swedish and Catalan) at the university of Bari, in South Italy. I love to learn new languages and I often begin to learn a new one even if I should refine my skills in the languages I study at university!!! I'm also a conlanger, I like to create (artificial) languages and above all I'm fascinated by uchronic languages (an expression I have coined), i.e. languages that could have developed, IF history had been different, f.ex.: what kind of language would have spoken people living in present-time Benelux if Roman Empire hadn't fallen apart and had conquered also other areas of Europe? The answer could be my conlang Aarlaansk, but clearly it is only a ludic experiment! I like also Germanic and Romance philology and Arthurian literature - I'm writing my thesis about this subject at the moment.
