Katäfalsen

Introduction

Katafalsen (pronunciation: [ˈkɑtɑfɑlsɛn]) is an apriori constructed language, which is partially inspired by Basque, Hebrew and Latin. The aim was to construct a language with simple phonology and unorthodox grammar and syntax. Katafalsen is highly synthetic and features a free word order and ergative-absolutive alignment.
