The Tolkien reference is inaccurate. His languages were not made up for background to the stories, but the reverse. Also, the stories in question are the legends of the First Age, i.e., those in the background of The Lord of the Rings. Zaslav ( talk) 20:45, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Have just looked through the old arguments on deleting this and other conlang pages. I suggest that the best test is to Google the language in question, and see how many hits there are. Anything with 17,000 hits is more than the private game of half a dozen people. Koro Neil ( talk) 12:59, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
I added Welsh to the table, as it illustrates nicely the similarity in phonology with Brithenig, and also the fact that a considerable number of Welsh words are descended from Latin in this way. Feel free to replace my words with more suitable ones, and if someone could indicate which are Latin-descended, which are IE cognates, etc., that would look good. I'd do it myself but I'd get it wrong. 137.205.74.230 ( talk) 00:28, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
If a form of Latin had survived in Britain, it would have Celtic loanwords in Romance pronunciation, like French, not vice versa. Are there any sources explaining how nonsensical such hypothetical languages are? 46.186.34.99 ( talk) 00:22, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
