Hey

I used to be on this forum before the change in layout, but now I'm back.
So as a brief intro:
I am 15 years old and male and I live in UK, I am only fluent in English but I know bits and pieces of other languages, notable German and Spanish and I love making conlangs.

How old were you when you joined? Myself I was also 15. ^^ The one who really shocks me is Aeetlrcreejl who was 13 when he joined him and yet he had quite a decent knowledge of linguistics.

*still shocked by that discussion on Polynesian languages*

Yeah, I had that "zh" character in Cyrillic

I think I joined in June? Just over a year ago? Sometime round about then.

I also am amazed by all youngsters who know so much about grammar, phonetics and stuff. I have allways had an interest in langs but when I was 15-16 I didn't know more than my classmates did, wich was very little.

Sometimes I wonder whether you young people are very intelligent or just nerdy (no offence

)or if your parents are into this and that's why you also are into this.

Well I'm nowhere near a normal person my age by the way. - I'm just obsessed and I find this linguistic stuff more interesting than normal stuff I guess. (Not because of my family because nobody in my family are into this).

If my parents were into linguistics I'd be the happiest person in the world, but I got into linguistics myself. Now I exude an aura of nerdiness. I don't even know of anyone studying linguistics, which makes me sad.
