Pretty much. Here's a link to a page which tried to analyze the grammar:

And here's the lexicon:

The only phrase I remember from my childhood (and it's stuck with me all
these years) is "oganza bisasa," which meant "what great magic." [oganza -
magic, bi - great, sa - what]. I remember the T.V. Guide article that talked
about the fact that they actually were speaking a conlang, which fascinated
me as a kid and made me pay attention to what the Pakuni were saying. Until
then, I thought they were speaking gibberish.

If you can read this, I'm too close,
