Well, I must say that for a first language, it shows a degree of sophistication
that is quite impressive! My first languages were quite far from that, being
simple relexes from Latin. The grammar is original, even if simple (actually it
looks quite naturalistic, and I'm not sure it's that simple :)) ). The European
cognates are well hidden :)), I wouldn't have seen it if you didn't point at
them :). And it already shows some simple but interesting derivations (like God
from "high"). As for the use of accents, well, it's a common beginner's
mistake, and I don't think it's problematic. For a first language, it's
impressive!
