New conlang - Ichwara Prana

Finally, one of my other conlang projects has reached the final stage :)
Roughly described, it's the language of an originally German colony in India
(area around Bombay) which subsequently was greatly influenced by Sanskrit.
It's named "Ichwara Prana", which comes from Sanskrit for "Breath of the
Supreme Being".

For a more detailled history and description, see the history page:
http://www.choton.org/ichwara/history.html

I'll give the Babel text below. For the correct pronunciation, please see
the pronunciation page:

1 Nun akhilam jagan habta ein bhasha mit gleich giren.
2 Prapathand ost, naraen findata samabhu in Shinar un nidata da.
3 Si wadata zu einandar: "Gam! Makhat ishtaka un pachan es karmanja!"
  Si prawechta ishtaka shtat achan un ter shtat lepja.
4 Dan si wadata: "Gam! Wirachat nagari mit udarka bis zu ananta, zu
  makhan nama fur wir, sodas wir isan na ardata ubar akhilam achala."
5 Abar HaShem gamta runtar zu awalokan nagari un udarka naraen ista
  wirachand.
6 HaShem wadata: "Fals als ein jagat mit ein bhasha si habta awagta
  tuan dis, nakimchid si kratun zu tun isia kalpa fur si.
7 Gam! Angat runtar un wikshubhan sis bhasha, sodas si isia na anubhu
  einandar.
8 So HaShem ardata si ubar akhilam achala, un si ni-wiracha nagari.
9 Deshalb nagari ista namta Babel, weil da HaShem wikshubhta bhasha
  fon akhilam jagan; fon hir HaShem ardata si ubar akhilam achala.
