(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 "angerwithperson".

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

2nd person inclusive is used when the speaker is referring to both people that it is speaking to both people that are and are not in the vicinity of the speaker, and they belong to a certain group.

[ɯɸ̺ɤn̼̊ɤð̼ɤʋ] = [ɯɸ̺]-[ɤn̼̊ɤð̼ɤʋ] = 1st person prefix-languages = my languages

[ɯ̽ʋ̥ɯɸ̺ɯ̽ɬ̪ɤɭ] = [ɯ̽ʋ̥]-[ɯɸ̺]-[ɯ̽ɬ̪ɤɭ] = 2nd person prefix-1st person prefix-names = the names of you and me (order of voice prefixes can be flipped, and this can be replicated with any other such prefixes)

[ɯ̽ɱɯ̽ɬ̪ɤɭ] = [ɯ̽ɱ]-[ɯ̽ɬ̪ɤɭ] = 2nd person inclusive prefix-names = all of your names

Plurality
You may have noticed that all of the nouns have been plural. This is because instead of a plural marker, there is a singular marker. All nouns that have singular voice are singular, and all nouns with plural.

[ɯɸ̺ɤn̼̊ɤð̼ɤʋɯɱ] = [ɯɸ̺]-[ɤn̼̊ɤð̼ɤʋ]-[ɯɱ] = 1st person prefix-languages-singular = my language

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

Time
There are no affixes that identify tense. There are, however, words for "past", "present", "future", and "non-future".

past = ɞ̞m̥ɤn̼̊ɯɸ̺ non-future = ɤɭ˔ɯ̽n̼̊ɤɻ̊ present = ɞ̞m̥ɤn̼ɯɸ̺ future = ɤɮɯ̽l̼ɯʋ

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

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