General information
Ödilaïfe is a conlang invented by me (Hetaliajapan98). I made this conlang just for fun and it's a priori. I love languages and linguistics and I always wanted to invent a conlang and I knew I would be bored over the summer so I decided to write it out on paper but it was really getting on my nerves that I actually didn't have any time during the summer and I started doing it and I got lost and it turned out to be a mess at first and I'm just starting to actually make it (Yay! Finally!) Thank god I found this website where I can organize it. Anyway, Back to the conlang, so it's suppose to be completely different from English in terms of grammar and phonology. I plan to only use it only by myself but if anyone would like to learn it, that would be awesome. I hope my hard work pays off and people actually like it! Have fun reading! The language isn't finished yet.
