Have you ever had the situation where you created a conlang that was exactly how you liked it, than went astray and became totally different, not what you originally intended it to be? That happened with one of my conlangs, but I like the changes very much, they give it a feel of its own.

Yeh. I originally intended my conlang, Agisha, to look celtic and Finnish, but all of a sudden it looked totally different (maybe even slavic(?))!

Raitoliste has changed enough that you wouldn't be able to tell the original from what it is now. Though I really like what it is now, I know enough about linguistics to make it a whole lot better than it was.

Danslag (sry way to busy to put in the accent marks right now) has been something completely different from what i wanted it to be. i originally intended it to sound like one of the scandanavian languages, and some of the very first words did sound german or danish-like in origin. however as time went on, it began to sound like it was from latin origin, almost like italian, spanish, and japanese and chinese mixed together. that's not how i wanted it to be, but it turned out like that so now i like it.

Esperanto sounds very nice, though I'd argue it's a lot like Italian with only a little smattering(is that the correct word?) of Slavic, specifically Polish.

On the topic: I experience that a lot. And usually the poor victims are the conlangs themselves; they end up in the trash bin!

For my current project, it's changed it's case system from the focus case marking to normal accusative-nominative cases. That's because I shifted to using 'positionals', a bit like prepositions but they go on pairs. I also now have tenses on both nouns and adjectives, which wasn't compatible with the old system.

In short: simplify here, expand there.

@T_F: I quite remember you posted a conlang link on Omniglot Forum. Was that the one?

Link? Not sure what you're talking about, there's no link in the Raitoliste thread there.

Oh, that. That page got removed (you made me think about it and I checked), and I don't have any other stuff saved from that early. That actually ended up being fairly close to current Raitoliste (though it started out very different). I stopped updating that page a while ago because I decided I was going to leave it the same until I was satisfied with my lang, and then it needed a name change, so I left it.

The name reminded me somewhat of Aetolia. Is that why?

The most striking part as you said was its superficial resemblance to Raitoliste. That's why I haven't forgotten it.

Actually, I came up with the name 'Aitolia' by myself and then found out it was the name of a Greek island. It needed a name change because the root system demanded that names have an 'r' somewhere in them, and that language names have '-ste' as their final syllable.
