After fideling around with tons of ideas, I finaly got around to make a
small, nice-sounding, easy-to-learn conlang. I didn't make it so it could
conquer the world, no, I made it so I had a conlang of which I could
actually learn atleast the grammar in a few days. The vocabulary is a
little harder, but learnable, too.

1. Phonetics
This language has a rather strange vowel set and a simple consonant
repertoire.

a
i
u
e (E)
y (y)
t
k
s
l
m
n
j
h
ks
ts
r (r)
In addition, it has quite a few diphtongues, actualy all possible
combinations of the above vowels. aa, ii, yy, ee, uu are pronounced like
long a,long i,long y,long e,long u respectavely.

2. Grammar
This language has a molecular grammar, similar to that described at
http://members.aol.com/leonheinz/plansprache/molekul-prinzip.htm
(in German).
Words are marked with
-a for non-binding
-i for single-binding
-e for double-biding
This allows me to reuse stems as any of these 3 types. The suffixes
-hy Future
-hu Past
can be used to show other tenses without adverbs. The genitive does not
exist, and has to be replaced by 'ky', have, Possesion, possesor
(depending on the binding-type).Questions are formed using the
word 'jyhi', which can replace any part of the sentence. In addition, the
sentence has to be sayd with a rising voice.
This language is not on the web yet because my ISP has not yet activated
my housting acount.They seem to be having technical difficulties. Anyhow,
tell me what you think.
Thanks to all repliers.
