Sketch of Falwan

I made this language sketch to be difficult. The vocabulary is based on
Chinese and Arabic, while the phonology and morphology was based on
nothing.
The inventory is as follows:
r /4/
m /F/
n /J/
 h /?/
f /p\/
l /K\/
v /B/
w /P/ /w/ /A/ /Q/
al /L\=/
k, kh /C/
t /t_j/
d /d_j/
p or b /p/ /b/
k or g /k/ /g/
s /s/
sh /S/
z /Z/
x /x/
y /j/ /&/ /V/
a /a/ /@/
q /3\/ /9/
e /E/
i /{/ /6/
o /o/
u /u/
Syllable style (C)(C)V(C)(C).

The morphology is agglutinating and extremely flexible. Any inflection
can go anywhere, and words are mashed together. The mashing is limited by
sentence function, so there can be one word for the verb and its direct
modifiers, and a preposition with its object and modifiers can be
condensed into one word....

What a monster I have created. Or at least sketched.
