Tatari Faran is essentially Hawaiian with a Taiwanese vocabulary,
pronounced with Korean intonation after lava has burned off the sides
of your tongue. [1]

Ebisédian is essentially ablaut gone wrong, diphthongs gone even more
wrong[2], and vocabulary horribly, horribly... gone.

Or,

Ebisédian is essentially pronouns gone sideways, orthography
backwards, vocabulary upside-down, and grammar inside out. [3]


[1] 'cos TF has no lateral consonants and doesn't distinguish between
    [d] and [4].

[2] There are no diphthongs or glides in Ebisédian.

[3] Yes, this is an obscure reference to 4D.
