About Maeran
Maeran is a language made to be similar to Classical Latin and Ancient Greek. It is derived directly from Proto-Indo-European, is a centum language, and preserves ablaut alternations more than its two main influences. It does not have a specific world and is simply a for fun/artistic project, so it will mostly be inactive.
