I'd be very interested in this. Providing the creators of the conlangs
have read your Language Construction Kit and applied it to their
languages first. There's a lot of really basic problems with the
presentation of conlangs that this can help with. Things like only
talking about the "letters" of the alphabet instead of the sounds, or
making up a entirely new symbol (not even IPA) for the final sound in
"sing". If anyone wants an example of a well presented conlang (other
than Mark's, of course) look at
