Help
Hello, I thought id give you some help and hints =)

"Like Chinese, the words form bigger complex words by adding to roots together.

ta (sky) + ka (light) = taka (sky-light) which could mean star

also spaces are completely optional so it could be "ta ka" or "taka"."

you said but there is a few problems with that, for one chinese dont put roots togather, they use several words for one concept such as mislead = "lead false" or something like that if i recall right.

secondly space as we know it have huge differens, for example "ta ka" the stress of each word would naturally be placed on both a's while "taka" would give stress on 1 of the a's as languages places teh stress of a word on 1 syllable in the word. While it might not mean anything in your language other than different pronounciation it have huge impact on most. for example english "Black bird" and "blackbird" are different things and stressed differently, along with "we outlawed it" and "he is an outlaw"
