Welcome to the site! You should get acquainted with @DarkPandemonium - she loves linguistics too. :P I look forward to seeing what you write - does your worldbuilding tend towards fantasy or science fiction?
We're all stories in the end.

I think of you as a fairy with a green dress and a flower crown and stuff.

I think you, @Deanie and I are like the Three Book Nerd Musketeers of YWS.

Thanks, everyone! While my worldbuilding does trend towards a low dark fantasy, I do enjoy sci-fi.

(In all seriousness, it looks like you and I share that passion for worldbuilding, and we have in common the fact that we both focus heavily on dark/low fantasy settings. If you ever want to exchange tips, I'm right here.)

Definitely! I'm working on a setting right now I could use some help on.

That's awesome! My own knowledge of phonology is a bit rudimentary; I did an introductory module to it last year but I haven't studied it much since. I'm more into the syntax of language rather than the sounds, but I find both interesting. :)
