You mean D'ni, doesn't you? It's really fascinating. The onlly problem with
D'ni is the copyright and the fact the designer is reluctant to popularize
his conlang. Thus, we can know only those things that are found in the
games. That is why the lang lacks a lot of basic vocabulary, although the
grammar is more or less known.
Find info about D'ni here:

lessons on canonic grammar are given here:

Info from a wiki:

Good stuff for beginners:

There is even a forum called D'ni Linguistic Fellowship (NB: the server is
very slow)

Maybe, one day I will learn it, too...
