Hehe.  yeah, I took Linguistics in the first part of university and got rather involved in language theory.  I thought it was an excellent exercise creating an isolating morphology, VSO, CV, with semantic/phonetic enhancements..

Ultimately though, spoken language will be irrelevant with the implementation of the DNI - so inventing a spoken language that won't be spoken is folly.

DNI has killer features.  Like array slicing.  : )
