That's a good start! I'd like to see more of it. What are the sound changes like? And it is not implausible, though I would give it at least 1000 years to evolve. 500 years are a bit short, I think. The transformation of a mostly analytic, inflecting language into a highly synthetic agglutinating language is interesting. Greetings, Jörg.
