Yes, this not pertaining at all to Talossan, but I thought y'all would appreciate a change in the weather and just discuss a conlang I've been working on.
I call it Alæsc, which, right now, means absolutely nothing.
It's based heavily on Old English (Anglo-Saxon) and Icelandic, with apparent influence by German, Danish, and Dutch. I have one French loanword in there for some reason as well.
As an effect, the grammatical structure of the language is 100% that of English and many other Germanic languages except the use of subordinative clauses (like weil clauses in German) and I'm working on refining relative clauses (like in German).
Anyways, comment as you will, I look forward to hearing your criticism on a 15 year old's conlang. lol
If you'd like more I'll send you the word document I'm in the process of typing.
The poem below is a translation of "O Fortune" which I have already translated into Talossan elsewhere on this board.

O Séoksafc
O Séoksafc,
Lícgon ði Mÿnde,
Þÿ eáre ándretic,
Allewegen tÿnemóndan,
Allewegen atnemóndan,
Hëlássfol léf
Fyírst dëttante
And ðën lóndrante
Ás Lásce nemet;
Famÿkt
And Vold
It míltet þíem lícgon Íese.
Scikáft- Monstyrüs
And ëleorig,
Þÿ wirbeldang hjrald,
Þÿ eáre efylwillend,
Welsínang ise fórlës
And allewegen svadan tÿ nóþinge,
Scaddtan
And geskírgryft-
Þÿ plagest migh augh;
Nÿne gægen ða Scpil
Isc bringe mainer bárer Bácke,
Tÿ yíer ghefylkíet.
Scikáft ise ageþ migh
In Heldwe
And Kræft,
Dréfktan an
And vétgtan,
Allewegen enþótan.
Þús át þeße Hÿre
Ölas drægal
Plyck ðen vëbríangen streongen;
Aghail Scikáft
Blægest úndern ði Streongemán,
Æglemán ghríen wiþe migh!
