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.
