The Fasimāķu Language

Hello, all,
I've finally finished the conlang I've been working on for almost 3 years. I wrote a grammar (http://is.gd/kFc1sp) which hopefully explains all the features enough for other people to understand. It's supposed to be naturalistic to some extent, so if anything is "weird" or a "noob mistake" don't hesitate to tell me!
Thanks!
