Jennifer, for what its worth, it doesn't have an American Indian lg
feel to me. Having said that, I will remind you that the Americas have
roughly as much diversity in lgs as, oh, let's say Europe, Asia, and
Africa combined. Case is rare, although 2 case or caselike systems
occur more frequently than most others. Gender is rare (in terms of
male/female etc.) but does occur. So, I guess the point is, if you
feel that it is Indian lg like, that is probably good enough, it IS
your language afterall.
