I have a new conlang, called Vandalic.  It's basically an attempt to imagine what a surviving Romance language in North Africa would turn out like.  It's strongly influenced by Calabrian, Sardinian, and Maltese.

This is Princess Gisela's speech to Rollo from the last episode of Vikings, season 3.  She gives it in their version of Old French with subtitles in the series itself.  That show, especially the last season, is a feast for lovers of old languages.

Ni mportanti kadunqi dixi a patxu miu, neam bixia issa spuzire. Sunu prinxipiss a sangu, ni zunit a vinditaz. Mesvulu qi sim vivaminti qumbrulaθa, qi duraz a causa 'ssa di manum su mpuniz sulla mi. Өui, isti paganum suxu. Purθi, nifex avi nuθu. Isti piθur diθa bixias di kampu. Mesvulu a donaz ya biθuli iya virtuθ mias al qanim θus vili k'al pitx issa ha karni kaliθu. Өui, mi ripunya. Өui, mi qugi prisqu a vumitaz.

Hello there! I am making uniforms for fictional countries, and I am thinking of a surviving Vandalian state thanks to having a extra island between Malta, Sicily, and Tunisia. Could I borrow your Vandalic language and give some ideas?
