If you mean, Tech, I'd say it qualifies as a
frankenlang.  Maggel and Ebisedian and Pisde would
likely be nominated by their creators.  One of my
langs which I've never gone far with developing would
definitely be a frankenlang.  It had only high front
vowels, but had 6 or 8 of them and all the consonants
were auditorily similar, eg. /t_S/, /t_s/, /t'S'/,
/t_C/, etc. with about 10 or fifteen voicless and an
equal number of voiced.  Quite monstrous.
