Disclaimer
Eràti is a work in progress, and I’ve never made a language before, so please be patient with me. That said, I have every intention of completing it.


Introduction

I don’t really have a plan for Eràti’s vocab. I’m basically just going to wing it and go with the flow. Will it work? Maybe. But I’m doing it with the philosophy of “just start” because if I get hung up on where to start, I’ll never actually get started. Fingers crossed! 🤞
