Kash ("conlang" is awkward):  hila kañahanala sendeshi ri yuno ishininish,
ahangi!
Lit., you-pl creators/inventors languages-GEN-pl  LOC all nations,
create/invent-IMP-pl.

I suppose if conlanging is popular, or should catch on, there, we could
create a compound:  (noun) sendahan 'invented language' or (verb) ahatende
(contracted ahatet?).  Let's assume the latter:  then mahatet 'I conlang',
miyahatet 'we conlang';
añahatet 'a conlang', kañahatet 'conlanger'.  Then the first part of the
phrase could be:  hila kañahatetila ri yuno ishininish........

There could also be: cakahatet 'obsessively given to conlanging' :-)
