About Khuzuan
Khuzuan was my first conlang, which i started developing in 2019. It is one of the most intricate projects of my life and one I'm really proud of.
Khuzuan isn't like your average conlang; it has some features which I believe no other language, constructed or not, has. It's been such a joy building this language up - even when I've had to scrap my whole work and rewrite everything again... 5 times - and I hope that you all enjoy learning about it here!
