[nabs-l] Seeking Photos & Performing Artists

[Franandah Damstra]

Hm...sounds interesting. In a game series called the "Tales of" there
is quite a few made up languages. In one of the games called "Tales of
Eternia" they created a language called Melinics that can actually be
translated in both English and in Japanese. Actually, there are some
fans that can speak the language fluently. lol It really is quite fun
and a code language for some friends and I.
