Proto-Dethos: A Detailed and Creative Proto-Language

Proto-Dethos is a draft copy of a conlang created by Nikolai Echternach-Taylor. The conlang is presented as a proto-language for another conlang, with a focus on creating a rich sound inventory and various morphological processes such as reduplication and nominalization. The language features an extensive personal agreement system, multiple ways of forming the oblique case, and a complex verb stem system. The syntax section is still sparse, but the overall presentation and organization of the conlang is beautifully done. Additional work on the syntax would be beneficial to complete the grammar.
