Cepperjoleddicg was created by Chris Paull (Zeke Fordsmender). It is a personal language. It is written with a unique script.

Design principles

Cepperjoleddicg has been regularly derived from Proto-Norse with quite a few loans from Gothic and fewer (but still a notable percentage) from Gaelic. The loans are different stages of "assimilatedness" depending upon when I thought they would logically enter the vocabulary. When I was able to decide when a form would enter the language, or when I had trouble deciding which Scandinavian form would be most correct, I let esthetics be my guide. The grammar, though, is painstakingly accurate.

Interest of others

Most of my friends are fascinated in the idea of a constructed language, and though they're reluctant to work on one themselves, they have been learning Cepperjoleddicg through me. The Yahoo! Group Artificial Languages has witnessed Cepperjoleddicg's maturation and the active club members are all good friends, and we contribute and make suggestions about each other's languages on a regular basis.
