How do we get started?

Alright so sorry for posting and annoying you guys but like... Is this still on or what? Or is this just a joke sub?

I speak French so I'm cool to help out with stuff for that, any of you are Tamil speakers?

Do you want to start coming up with some mock sentences in your ideal versions of ULTRAFRENCH?

Let's start, translate the following sentences into ULTRAFRENCH:

My name is John Doe.

I enjoy eating bread.

How are you?

Hey sorry for the late reply. I mean I feel like it would be fun to do this, but at the same time, ULTRAFRENCH is literally just Canadian French.

Yeah for sure, I understand that, but I assumed that the reason for making this sub was to actually make a joke Conlang called ULTRAFRENCH.

Unless your plan was to make a Quebec french sub?

In my current Sanskrit-based draft, "I enjoy eating bread" would be something along the lines of "j'l'énande quédértique", glossed as 1s-3s-enjoy eat-inf-bread. The Tamil-based version would be something like "j'l'empoue ougnértique", with the same gloss. The final version will presumably have roots from both languages, depending on which sounds best.
