I've been looking at Negric, and it's pretty cool so far. What were your inspirations for it?
I draw a lot of inspiration from the peoples who I think would fit the language first. I spend a lot of time walking around in the woods and babbling to myself to come up with new âfeelsâ for conlangs. This summer, I was recently part of a production of Shakespeareâs The Winterâs Tale, and we perform in the middle of the woods. I played Autolycus the Rogue (who doesnât appear until the second half of the play), and I had a lot of time in the beginning of the show to walk about the woods wearing a cloak and doing my usual babbling. This is where I came up with the beginnings of Negric; I had imagined these rough and roguish peoples who lived in treehouses in the forest. They donât like outsiders very much, and a lot of their language towards others isnât very friendly. The actual sounds of the language, I felt I drew inspiration from Tolkeinâs Sindarin. I grew to really love the smoothness and simplicity of Sindarin, and took a lot of inspiration from that.So long story short, Elves! :)

OK, so synthesizing these replies/reblogs plus previous ones plus messages I received directly, many of which involved words I've never seen before:
k-type sounds (hard c-, hard g-, qu-) --> I'm going to call these velar plosives (does this come from velum = sail? if so why? not important, just curious).
nasals (m-, n-), liquids (l-, r-) and sibilants [technically voiceless sibilant fricatives?] (s-) --> I'm going to lump these under the term sonorants.
PLEASE let me know if I'm so wrong that if you came across this in an academic article you would throw it to the ground in disgust or tell your friend "hey check out what this idiot wrote!" Â And thank you so much to everybody for helping out!
(also: correction, because I was writing from memory without checking: first line was paen' insularum Sirmi' insularumque, not paen' insularumque etc.)

the thing is the u after q dictates a lot of the pronunciation too but the closest i found is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uvular_ejective

depending on the use of c and g (assuming that these are both in catullus poems), they're stops/plosives. i think qu- would also fall into that

n and m are nasals, l and r are liquids, s is a voiceless silibant fricative

Thank you guys! Â One more question though: I feel like qu-, c-, and g- sound a lot closer to each other than the (also?) plosives t- and b-, which appear in the same part of the poem; I sort of want to exclude them when I'm talking about the section because I think they're more of a distraction. Â Should I just suck it up and include them, or can I call the first three something different? Â I really want to just say plosive-k-type sounds and go do something else, but I'll just have to correct it later anyway. Â I'm basically seeing two sound-groupings in the following lines (I went ahead and removed the elided vowels):
Pae[n' insularumque Sirmi' insularum][que
ocelle, quascumqu' in liquentibus stagnis]
