I have a serial verb-compounding marked-absolutive language that places attributes on noun heads.

Your move.

NUKEG I-PALTOK-I-ŊALOD-KYOK-KIPITYK-KIPITYK-KIPITYK-KATEIB-KYOK-IK-I-PITYK-YK-KATEIB-YK-EKKI-Y-KIGIK-PODAL-ŊAOMMEIK-AŊ-NIGYT

I have a triconsonantal, root-and-pattern language that lets you have roots within patterns, within patterns, within patterns, and so on...

PITYOK IKKYAK-EKKI-YK-GAGIDYAM-KIŊULMED-KINIGYT-PITYK
(NULL COPULA) ACC.pattern NOM-(PROL-[NEG{NULL COPULA}-NOM.few] LOC.eternity [LOC.language pattern])
Almost the entire grammar is patterns.

PATTERNCEPTION

[tacvékita]

Ee kanis kei, etinasenui kylyile na sinla.
Yo dawg, I heard you like patterns.

[abaddamn]

Yau vrabbha, tvaau paṭakaṃś ćayasa hanusman, paṭakak-paṭakaanuf paṭakak-paṭakayhaai lānusman taybha.
Yo dawg, you patterns like - I heard, I pattern-pattern within pattern of patterns, I-made thusly.
(Yo dawg, I heard you like patterns, so I made a pattern of a pattern in a pattern of a pattern.)

Oxk havat nei zatzmiðleiðr ðiz ín zatzatlr.
And this syntax (still don't know if that's the right word) does not have the concept of a sentence.

To demonstrate with English, the sentence 'the cat sat on the mat' would become 'the cat sat; the mat was sat on.' Every string of speech is composed of 'phrases'. It doesn't matter in what order these are put in, so I could just as easily say 'the mat was sat on; the cat sat', and the meaning will not have changed. To make sure that it is known which verbs refer to the same action, markers are used. So, simplifying the English, we'd have 'cat sat-X1; mat was-sat-on-X1.'

Btw, I thought this up just before I fell asleep.

Orite. IIRC you already posted this idea somewhere?

Anyway, I generally dislike violating the basic structure of human languages because I'd lose all my reference points if I did. My conlanging is only so much an artistic endeavor as painting backdrops for a play is; going all Picasso on it tends to defeat the purpose (unless, of course, the play being staged were of abstractionist nature itself).

[KathTheDragon]

I haven't put it anywhere else yet, but I intend to implement it in a con-lang for a civilisation in another galaxy. That is in itself justification enough for 'violating the basic structure of human languages'.

[Lyra]

[gʷo.a: fygʷʰeki wobema: neŋe inute: xe:danaɖa]
Started a new language. Hope it will keep ongoing.

As said, if the backdrop fits the play...

[KathTheDragon]

Well, soon as I've actually made the language, I'll demonstrate it here...

[WeepingElf]

Mar nacamethi gyngimith?
Why act-2PL:A troll-PL-PRL?
Why do you all act as trolls?

[abaddamn]

Well, soon as I've actually made the language, I'll demonstrate it here...

Saa, vanaa etaaya aasramaa tai.
Awesome, we'll have to wait for it then.

Staira, tvaa' vaḍhai vanaan habhilas' aarṭhasma
In the meantime, I do hope you will stop annoying us for attention.

Mar nacamethi gyngimith?
Why act-2PL:A troll-PL-PRL?
Why do you all act as trolls?

Saav akãn na sulanas taidha vanaa sãng hablamaah.
She isn't showing anything, so we trolling her.

[Click]

Pa Kathryn, pa o koní làni, ko?
She's Kathryn, and that's a female name, isn't it?

[abaddamn]

Dative experiencers with obligatory passivization to raise them into nominative …

[KathTheDragon]

I have an example of the language, though it's a very simple example.

ɣɐðɐmr kʰɐ ɐɣðɐmə βɐkʷntɐ
see.act.1st.sing generic_phrasal_conjunction see.pass.3rd.sing Vaqntas.nom.sing
I see a Vaqntas.

The generic phrasal conjunction is roughly equivalent to the semi-colon, in that it joins phrases together. Other conjunctions can be used for certain effects, such as providing a chronological order, and phrases can be reordered for special emphasis. If these phrases were embedded inside a longer 'sentence', then the verbal prefix ɐŋ can be used to mark that the phrases refer to each other.

[Thry]

Pa Kathryn, pa o koní làni, ko?
She's Kathryn, and that's a female name, isn't it?

oh, misera nais el nom Kathryn d'avant.
[ɔ mi.ˈzɛe̯ nɛʃ lə nom ˈkʰeɪ.θɹɪn də.ˈvant]
oh, I hadn't met the name Kathryn before.

(quí, y volg dire)

Dative experiencers with obligatory passivization to raise them into nominative …

La lenga n'era secura, n'obstant.
[lə leŋ nɛe̯ skuː nobs.ˈtant]
The conlang was safe, though.
