If you take that by the letter, you are a good customer for sure.

I'm not sure if you're not reading all I have written or are misreading it.

Neither. Your full text was:

Well, first, as I'd noted, I tried to match this up with canon ArM.

@TSE p.41

In the 13th century Veneto is more similar to French and Castilian Spanish than Italian, and is one of the contributors — along with Occitan and Portuguese and to a lesser extent French, Greek, and Arabic — to lingua franca, the pidgin language of trade on the Mediterranean.

Of course, TSE made some big mistakes, such as separating Veneto and Istriot so much, but I did consider this paragraph about Veneto and other languages. My placement is consistent with this, while your placement goes the opposite way.

Here you endorse a statement from TSE, which not only I consider untenable.

Then read the part about letting ezzelino guide me. I'm going to move this over to the original thread I had instead of here to stop derailing this. I'll post more there about the approach I took.

The introduction of that post you refer to is:

@callen

As a foreword, my areas of expertise are physics and ballroom dance, followed by physics-related stuff and volleyball. I'm just a linguistics fan. I wanted a more complete set of Mythic European languages that matches Medieval Europe within the ArM5 framework as best I could. Most of what I put together came from ArM5 canon, Wikipedia, following links from within Wikipedia, broader searches when Wikipedia couldn't provide decent answers, and advice here. This is a pet project and has eaten up plenty of time just doing that; I'm not about to try to become a somewhat decent linguist just to put this together.

You are most welcome to your projects. But please don't fish for comments by referring to them as "all my research". That did mislead me.

Cheers
