I am going to finish my language, Hi, within a couple of weeks.

Here is what it boasts:

- it's ologosynthetic, but in a pragmatic way -- Hi is not a "philosophical language" or anything of that sort.

- it has an interesting 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, Hi looks and sounds nice (nothing too difficult to pronounce), has it's own cool-looking script, and a full vocabulary (not posted yet in it's entirety).
