It would also be weird if the language had no unvoiced fricatives, since the language's name is Uy s e? :) Maybe the S would be pronounced weirdly?

Goneriku, is that true about Mohammed? I think I've heard people rant about Muhammed being bad because of some passages in the Koran that imply he married someone very young or something like that (Eddy and that one person who got banned for the aformentioned rant (I forget what her name was) come ...

Hallo! Hallo. Elkaril has features (such as graded signs and "assigned anaphora") that are not just non-European but plainly non-human . I believe ASL, which is definately human, has something like the assigned anaphora, where you can sign something in a space around you and then refer to that area...

I've heard of ice volcanoes (on one of Jupiter's moons) but not water volcanoes. That's called a fountain.
