'''Välyatalle''', [ˈvæl.jɑˌtɑl.le], (a compound of {{term|välya}} 'good, noble' and {{term|talle}} 'speech'), also known as '''Valian''' is an a priori [[artistic language|artlang]] strongly inspired by Estonian phonology. Estonian is a very elegant language and Valian aims to at least capture a percentage of that phonaestetic vibe. A language rich in cellar doors! It belongs in-universe to a small isolate family called the Tenarian languages (my take on pseudo-Uralo-Finnic type languages), which includes such languages such as [[Elasian]] [[Valian/Etymologies|[2013]]].

'''Välyatalle''', [ˈvæl.jɑˌtɑl.le], (a compound of {{term|välya}} 'good, noble' and {{term|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').

~~To sum it up: Pretty much broken pseudo-Estonian if it were spoken by a sleep-deprived conlanger, high on insane morphosyntax.~~
