Consonantal length is phonemic in Inuit, as in many, many other languages.
To twist the topic around, I always wanted to see an Inuit-Finnish conlang

but the oddest conlang (auxlang, it was really) I ever heard of was from SR
Delaney's *Triton.* At the end of the book, you learn that the language of
the inhabitants of Triton speak a language developed from a
Swedish-Cantonese creole. Ye gods!
