I think that unless different species produce different sounds and/or thinks very differently than humans, languages and cultures will be constrained by geography rather than by species (unless if intelligent species are separated by geography).

Just a terminological comment: you refer to "inflection," but the inflections seem to be particles rather than affixes; this seems to be a largely isolating language from what I've seen so far, lacking what I think of as verbal inflection. (I'm assuming the spaces indicate that the morphemes are separate words.) At the same time, I see strong potential for the particles to actually glom onto the verb and become affixes (perhaps that's the plan?), especially if their order is fixed.

I'd be curious to see a maximally "inflected" verb.

The dual tense system is cool as shit. And I think I see the semantic motivation for which system is used for which evidential...

I've stalled a bit over the past several weeks on Devani, but I've had some work going on with my other planned "primordial languages". Still, it seems I have better luck getting things to solidify by posting here, so I'm going to shift this post to be a general scratchpad for all 4 (maybe 5) languages. I'm going to label each post clearly as to which language the post is about, and give each language a color code as well to help that out. I've already gone back and edited my earlier posts on Devani. The labels & colors will be:

Devani
Dwarvish
Elvish
Jinn
