'''Välyatalle''' (A compound of {{c|välya}} 'good, noble' and {{c|talle}} 'speech'), also known as '''Valian''' is an 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. | |||
To sum it up: Pretty much broken Estonian if it were spoken by a sleep-deprived conlanger, high on insane morphosyntax. | |||
