This language is being built with the purpose of being a naming proto-language in the reddit collaborative project of Conglomera. It's (very) loosely inspired by what I believe Nordic and Slavic phonologies are like (no actual grounds for that) and is meant to be a very versatile language with many derivational possibilities for words.
