My impression of the language (before I quickly was able to hide myself
in terror :) ) was that it seemed entirely lacking in anything that might warrant
the name "language" -- I'm not sure, but I don't think even pronouns were
used in any kind of systematic way.  The speech seemed to consist of a
few strings of verbs roots with a few nouns placed here or there, never in
any particular order.  But a problem is that when your sentences are never
longer than three or four words, you can't really get much of a feel for this
"language" (whatever it might be).
