'''Välyatalle''', [ˈvæl.jɑˌtɑl.le], (a compound of {{ | '''Välyatalle''', [ˈvæl.jɑˌtɑl.le], (a compound of {{term|välya}} 'good, noble' and {{term|talle}} 'speech'), also known as '''Valian''' is an a priori [[artistic language|artlang]] strongly inspired by Estonian phonology. 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. It is currently being quickly codified as I spend more and more sleepless nights running different sounds through my head and deciding on morphological and syntactic features. | ||
But "Why so much Eesti?" you may ask. Well, the truth is that I have come to realise Estonian is a language rich in "cellar doors" i.e. rich in sounds I find extremely pleasing, e.g. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=BNHZce1TCa8 Greip - Vihma Loits (YouTube)] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtM_jG_llDU Sandra Nurmsalu - Velvetiin (YouTube)]. | But "Why so much Eesti?" you may ask.
