I wanted to refer to this possibility in my post, but forgot :(((( . 
Indeed, your conlang can create its own question particle, and it needn't 
be exactly the same as in French. A "or no?" at the end of the question or 
a "is it true that" at the beginning, which loses connection to its 
original meaning and becomes for speakers a single word, will rapidly 
become a question particle which will shorten quickly (the same phenomenon 
happened with French "est-ce que" which was originally a much longer 
expression but now is just [Esk(@)]).

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
