 Pretty much Estonian if it were spoken by a sleep-deprived conlanger, high on insane syntax. Välyatalle (A compound of {{c|välya}} 'good, noble' and {{c|talle}} 'speech') is strongly inspired by Estonian regarding the phonology (I have seen the light, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtqlK6UyoUI listen to the female vocals]) as I have come to find it one of the most phonaestetically pleasing languages.
-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').

As a bonus, there's a lot of sandhi going on at morpheme boundaries to spice up the mix and a seeming Ablaut-style system in effect for many of the verb stems.
