Thanks to you both!
I'm not in Germany, but I'll move there someday. I've been studying the language for a while off and on, along with 11 others. I've constructed a few artificial languages, and am working on writing a book from the perspective of someone given the task of creating language out of nothing, by a sort of "God" character.
Language can be a huge insight into culture, and creating a language around a culture I want to illustrate can be helpful to readers and the story's universe (also it's lots of fun).
I've also studied world religions a good bit, and made a fairly in depth satire story about the real story behind Genesis, wherein two brothers create the universe, the earth, and everything on it, for entirely obtuse reasons, then discover their creations are really quite weird. Two idiots with complete, unchecked power over the universe.
Someday I'll finish both and post them somewhere...
Thanks for the warm welcome guys!
