Extremely interesting!!!! And if, as I think it is, the u-trema refers to
the sound [y], then it has quite a few features identical to my Romlang
Narbonósc (but with a different orthography), which is supposed to be
spoken there in Ill Bethisad:
- the sound [y] (normally uncommon in Occitan languages);
- the article is normally a vowel (u or a) but becomes l' in front of vowels;
- the plentiful preposition+article fusions.

It has many features typical of Italian dialects too (the plurals for
instance, and the spelling looks a bit like what I've seen of Lombard and
such).

Interesting. The site says that the language is a "lenga d'urígine líguru
cun 34 % d'u so léssicu uriginari d'a lenga d'O". I translate that as "a
language of ??? origin with 34% [what a precision ;)) ] of its lexicon
coming from the Langue d'Oc". Anybody has any idea what "líguru" means?

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
