I use conlangs in grammar education for primary school kids. Some of the more advanced pupils create their own languages. One of them has decided that he wants to make a language with no verbs. He intends to use suffixes on subjects together with adverbs for the functions that verbs normally serve in a language. I suppose that verbless (sort of) conlangs have been attempted before, and I would like to hear some ideas of potential weaknesses and difficulties with such an approach. Fredrik
