It does a bit, I guess. I was afraid that if I used an umlaut as the
accent that it'd come out looking like Finnish, or even Quenya. However,
that's what suited the vowel system best. I wanted it to have a touch
more of a Gaelic & Basque feel to it than that - back to the drawing
board... oh, bugger!

My earlier post (The Babel text) on the language is possibly a better
representation of what the language is like.
