HOW TO CONTRIBUTE

Words in this language are based on words in Latin, English, or Russian. Primarily Latin, some English, small amounts of Russian when it fits best. We need to flesh out the dictionary some. Use https://russian.typeit.org/ for a quick and easy russian keyboard. Keep words brief. Brevis.
