It's a country that wishes to be one, but whether or not it's successful is a different story. (Maybe I'll do a write-up about my concountries when I have motivation and energy...)

I reopened a Muskogean conlang I've had sitting around for a long time, and it's finally taking shape. Any suggestions what I should translate first now that's becoming something usable?

I have finally done a little bit of conlanging after a long pause. There's a project where I was reworking a dictionary. This includes things like changing the way I phrase certain things and what abbreviations I use. It's difficult to remember how I had intended the new version of the dictionary to be like.
And there's ca 1100 entries and last time I had only made it to the letter B.
