Suwáá

Suwáá is a language isolate of Hmøøh, spoken on the island country and archipelago of Suwáábíq. It is mainly inspired aesthetically by Burmese, Japanese, and Ancient Greek, and its grammar is meant to be "Navajo-lite" (strongly head-final and head-marking, though not fully polysynthetic; noun incorporation is limited to certain formal styles).
