(Note: Both verb conjugations and noun declensions are noun declensions.)

I tried to contradict multiple linguistic universals and make strange sounds, while also making a language with an artificial history. Eventually, I ended up not contradicting all that many, honestly.

This language can be analyzed as using a zero copula in every sentence, because it has no verbs. It does have direct markers. Also, it lacks stops and fricatives (though it could be argued that certain approximants are fricatives).

History?
This language exists on somewhere that isn't Earth. This is a language that is spoken on the home planet of the world.

Some of them originally wrote down the name of the language as "Afono(d)zov" or "Asonobov", after hearing [ɯɸ̺ɤn̼̊ɤð̼ɤʋ](my language) as something like "(a/u)(s/hw/f/th)(o/u)(n/m)(o/u)(b/v/w/z/l)(o/u)(v/w)" as a whole. Eventually, "Asonobov" prevailed, despite "ahwonowow" being slightly more accurate (hence, Asonobov redirects here).

Consonants

 * These are pronounced with the tongue almost behind the lips.

Vowels
Syllabic Consonants = ɻ̩

Phonotactics
The language is V(C), and the words are pronounced vowel-consonant. For example, Arabic would be pronounced ar.ab.ic, and not a.ra.bic.

Adjectives
Adjectives are nouns without noun markers that have cases. For example, angry person would be like "angerwith person".

Voice
Voice is indicated by prefixes which can be analyzed as possessive pronouns. There are unique declensions for 1st person, 2nd person, 3rd person, 1st person exclusive, and 2nd person exclusive, and 3rd person plural 1st person/exclusive = [ɯɸ̺]/[ɯð̼] 1st person inclusive is created by combining the relevant 1st and 2nd person prefixes. 1st person-3rd person is created by combining the relevant 1st and 3rd person prefixes. 2nd person/exclusive = [ɯ̽ʋ̥]/[ɯ̽ʋ] 2nd person inclusive is created by combining the relevant 2nd and 3rd person prefixes. 3rd person/plural = [ɯ̽ɱ̥]/[ɯ̽ɱ]

Plurality
The number of a noun depends on the number of the voice. All nouns that have singular voice are singular, and all nouns with plural voice are plural. If the voice number and noun number do not match, a singular/plural marker is used. Nouns with no voice are given the plurality of the subject

[ɯð̼ɤn̼̊ɤð̼ɤʋɯɱ] = [ɯð̼]-[ɤn̼̊ɤð̼ɤʋ]-[ɯɱ] = 1st person exclusive prefix-languages-singular = our language [ɯɸ̺ɤn̼̊ɤð̼ɤʋ] = [ɯɸ̺] - [ɤn̼̊ɤð̼ɤʋ] = 1st person prefix-language = my language

Cases
ɯɮ = comitative (beside, along with) ɞ̞l̥ = inessive (in) ɯn̼̊ = locative (at) ɞ̞ɻ = (towards something, sometimes also "forwards", as in ɯ̽l̼ɤʋɯɻɞ̞ɻ, "the going-forwardness of my body")

Tense
There are prefixes that identify the tenses "past", "present", and "future".

past = ɞ̞m̥ present = ɞ̞n̼ future = ɞ̞n̥

Direct
Nouns functioning in a sentence take a marker that shows that they are part of a sentence. They are automatically plural.

[ɞ̞ɳ̊ɤn̼̊ɤð̼ɤʋ] = [ɞ̞ɳ̊]-[ɤn̼̊ɤð̼ɤʋ] = direct marker-languages = Languages.

[ɞ̞ɳ̊ɯ̽l̼ɞ̞m̥ɤn̼̊ɤð̼ɤʋɯɮ ɞ̞ɳ̊ɯ̽ɱɯ̽ɬ̪ɤɭ] = [ɞ̞ɳ̊]-[ɯ̽l̼]-[ɞ̞m̥]-[ɤn̼̊ɤð̼ɤʋ]-[ɯɮ] [ɞ̞ɳ̊]-[ɯ̽ɱ]-[ɯ̽ɬ̪ɤɭ] = direct marker-1st person prefix-PAST-language(s)-COM direct marker-3rd person plural prefix-name(s) = Their names were with my language.

[ɯð̼ɤn̼̊ɤð̼ɤʋɯɱ] = [ɯð̼]-[ɤn̼̊ɤð̼ɤʋ]-[ɯɱ] = 1st person exclusive prefix-languages-singular = our language
