Gomah (Gomah Gomahgaa) refers to the varieties of the Gomah language. It is the spurious brainchild of Burke, whose original intention for it was to be a progenitor of many other languages to be derived from it. Once that over zealous project derailed, the conlang continued to develop now without the restriction of being bound to some poor tribe of hunter-gatherers who would have been forgot anyhow.

It draws inspiration from many sources. The basic phonology was a naive nod towards Polynesian languages tied up in a twisted experiment of a simple tonality and how said tonality interacts with prosody and cadence. The structure is highly analytic in nature, but word building makes ample room for compounding and derivation. The basic grammar is vaguely reminiscent of Chinese languages or oversimplified English, but also makes use of structures and tendencies more common in Mesoamerica, such as relational nouns and inalienable possession.
