About Jeinian
Jeinian is naturalistic a priori. With an autonym of senid, Jeinian is often written in Jeanian Runes, which I have tried and failed to add to CWS, but I plan to do it soon. Many Jeinian sentences are just one long word. I think that's polysynthetic? So far, Jeinian is the only member of the Jeinian family but I plan to add more at some later date, such as Proto-Jeinian, Eastjein, and Quakelander.
