We Americans are used to titles of honor (spelled WITHOUT a u), but we always use surnames after them, e.g. Governor Scumbag, President Manospequeñas, General Kissass, etc. Except, governor, president, and general are not titles of honour but titles of authority, which usually do go with full names or surnames. But in the end, this all sounds like a bunch of doesn't matter to me. They may be titles of authority, but people keep them after they’ve done the job.

I’m more of a procedural guy than a lawmaking guy, so I’d be interested in taking the position.
Crap! I realized I can't because I'm moving to Florencia. I'm not entirely sure of the laws surrounding provincial movement, but It's probably safe to assume positions are invalidated.

Ă is already standard.
As for mutations, yes, they exist in predefined circumstances, just like how г is pronounced /v/ rather than /g/ in certain endings in Russian.
And I want to wait until a new Arestada is released before we put î in. I think it may be a foregone conclusion, but I'd rather the orthography be the real deal. Same with å. If there isn't an å in a new Arestada, it probably shouldn't be in there.

I would like to help, and I propose staring two Google docs, one to collect our joint progress, and one to document neologisms, or special Harry-Potter-related words. I have started a document, and corrected your current efforts in the other thread, and made it a bit more idiomatic at some places (e.g. adding non estarh à + INF for habitual actions). We would still have to agree upon an orthography to use. Do we use î?, do we use mutations?, etc.; such questions must be answered. I appreciate the setup and corrections. As for orthography, I just used the orthography that was current at the time I began the translation. Mutations are pretty well extinct. Most people are in favor of î. However, before starting, I think the orthography should be officially codified so we know how to write.

If we're measuring by who has the most seats, we're tied. Also, Erschéveþ has seventeen seats, too.

I think I saw a piano, but I didn’t know you kept bees.

If I were to translate a page of Harry Potter and the Philospher's/Sorcerer's/Wizard's/[Insert other similar word here]'s Stone every day, it would take over a year. At my current rate, though it would take a lot longer. Therefore, I'm calling on anyone interested in noastra glheþ from començeirs to ladintschen to help me translate it. Start on any part you want. It doesn't matter if two people do the same thing. You can compare and contrast your different translations. Or, if a ladintsch and a començeir both do the same part, the ladintsch can give the començeir feedback. Simply announce what page or pages from this PDF you want to do here, then make a thread and post your translation there with the title being the page or pages you did. I hope for two things: 1. That this will increase interest in the language because, really, who isn't interested in Harry Potter? 2. That this will be a team effort and a way for all Talossans to unite for a single cause that isn't government-related. I'm using this PDF for page references: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone PDF

I find this society interesting. Or not. It is unremarkable. Perhaps that's the point.
