I'm also a rare person who was not influenced by Tolkien. In fact, although I rarely admit it, I haven't read any of his works.....I've tried when I was younger and think I'd probably like them now, but need to find the time. I find his work fascinating and beautiful and I've actually learned MUCH more about him via the Master's committee of our Conlanging Film intern, who is looking at his works for her thesis. Maybe she can comment more? Lindsay?

Much bother. Very annoy. And I'm not even the creator.

I haven't done this either, but know of other languages where you can get in VERY big trouble by not saying something one way. Like the others, I'll keep it in mind.

Languages I've studied (some more fluent than others): French (I'm Canadian - we all learn it), Spanish, Latin, Cree, Tlingit, Japanese, Tok Pisin, Kala, Secwepemc. They didn't affect me too much since I looked at what was appropriate in the situation. I did put both Cree and Tlingit Easter eggs into Kryptonian though. :) Kryptonian also has a SOV structure, which Japanese does as well and the writing system has been compared to the Japanese katakana, but Cree syllabic writing was actually my inspiration.

Opps, and English as well...hahaha.
