Lees'hin
Introduction
Lees'hin (lees'hin s'hon) is lees'hinian language spoken in Democratic Republic of Lees'hinia (Vas’hat Nhelhuk Lees’hin) by 48 000 native speakers. It was created in 2015. The language has no cognate with natural languages. I want to make some very strange language with strange vocubalary. And I made it, Lees'hin was my strange language. Also Lees'hin is intelligable with 2 other lees'hinian languages. They are Mihrulen and Basti.
