About Uynafi
Flag WIP
A language of the Federal Republic of Uynafa.
I tried to make it more Indo-European, by which I mean more similar in structure and grammar to languages I speak, rather than go fully eccentric like Leitfaren. Of course I will still work on it, but I wanted to try making a new one mostly for insight since I'm learning Classical Latin right now.
