About me
The language I am currently working on is Mis Hio. It has some rather unusual features:
 * It's oligosynthetic, but in a pragmatic way -- Hi is not a "philosophical language" or anything of that sort. There are around 160 primary roots in the language right now; but since they are for the most part organized in pairs with opposite meanings, one has to remember only about 100 roots.
 * It has an interesting "flat" sentence structure, based on repeating roots to show relationship between words in a sentence. E.g. an English sentence "Yesterday my brother saw a black dog", when translated to Hi, would have structure similar to "brother-saw saw-dog dog-black saw-yesterday brother-mine". The tuples can be put in any order since they are linked not by their order but by repeating the words (saw, dog, brother).
 * Instead of prepositions and cases, it relies on verb combinations. E.g. to say "I give you a book", you actually say something like "I-give you-take take-book give-yields-take". Here "yields" is the link between two verbs that indicates the relationship between them.
 * Finally, Mis Hio looks and sounds nice (nothing too difficult to pronounce), and has a full vocabulary (not posted yet in it's entirety).
