'''Välyatalle''', [ˈvæl.jɑˌtɑl.le], (a compound of {{c|välya}} 'good, noble' and {{c|talle}} 'speech'), also known as '''Valian''' is an a priori [[artistic language|artlang]] strongly inspired by Estonian phonology. The grammar is a mash up between agglutinative trends, weird case retention, a half-broken gender system (inspired by Swedish debates about forcing the use of a gender neutral pronoun to not 'offend' anyone), and appositional genitive constructions (with trends to state differences for nouns) and Spanish-style object/subject marking on verbs (e.g. entregandotelo 'giving it to you'). As a bonus, there's a lot of sandhi going on at morpheme boundaries to spice up the mix and a seeming Ablaut-style system in effect for many of the verb stems. It is currently being quickly codified as I spend more and more sleepless nights running different sounds through my head and deciding on morphological and syntactic features.

But "Why so much Eesti?" you may ask. Well, the truth is that I have come to realise Estonian is a language rich in "cellar doors" i.e. rich in sounds I find extremely pleasing, e.g. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=BNHZce1TCa8 Greip - Vihma Loits (YouTube)] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtM_jG_llDU Sandra Nurmsalu - Velvetiin (YouTube)].
