Contemporary language.

[Justïn]

This is quite an impressive list, actually.  I do understand in a few
places where other Gothic revivalists might disagree with you,
particularly in the zero - zairo choice, it seems Gothic might learn
more towards German's "null" but I'm new to reconstruction myself, so
that with a grain of salt!

I believe we need a definitive society like French's L'Acadamie
Française to censor, standardise, and oversee the reconstruction of
Gothic if it would ever be a language capable of everyday use, if even
a local standardisation used among the [relatively] few of us who are
interested in reviving the language.

Standardisation and vocabulary expansion are the two musts found in
all language revival attempts, we are fortunate in that while we have
relatively few documents to work with, we do not have anywhere near
the amount of quibbling over dialect that the Celtic revivalists are
still going through with Cornish, Irish, etc.

Are there any attempts to actually PUBLISH a volume of neologisms or
reconstructed grammars, or to found a Gothic-Revival society or
academic council?

PS: Please continue to post your personal neologisms to this thread,
anyone.  Maybe we can begin something interesting or fun.
