Sktk'wk

This language is an agglutinative language no verbs, no pronouns, and rather fluid word order. All clauses are in verbal brackets.

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.

Phonotactics
In this language, all consonants are syllabic and they cannot be non-syllabic. This means that there are 14 possible syllables and all of them consist of a single consonant.

The alphabet/syllabary consists of symmetrical glyphs. The alphabetical order (in Roman transliteration) is: p s t l w k 'p 's 't 'l 'w 'k v r 'v 'r

Grammar
It doesn't have any verbs. Relations between words are created using word modifiers, most (but not all) of which are cases and most (but not all) of which come before the word proper and are written separately. Both the head word and the word to which the action applies are declined, but in different ways. If there is an equal relationship, both are declined in the same way.

Numbers
The numbers are bijective base 16. This means there is no zero, and there is a specific number representing sixteen.

When used in a sentence, these are surrounded by rp and r'p,

Normal Modifiers
Animate Locative (both parties are animate) = H: lt O: lt 'lt statue lt lt death 'lt = The statue and death happened at the same general place.

IDK Case (both parties are separate) = H: tl O: tl 'tl dog tl tl man 'tl = The man and the dog are connected. (The implication is that they know each other.)

Inanimate Locative (one or more parties are inanimate [head]) = H: tt O: t't 'tt statue tt t't man 't't = The man was at/near the statue.

Partitive (head is part of other) = H: pl O: p'l 'pl man pl p'l hand 'p'l = The man's hand

Comparative (compares two things (using X))= X: sv H:st O:s't 'sv courageous sv 'st man st s't person 's't= The man Is courageous compared to the person.

Allative+Dative(shows X going to H from O)= X: kr H: kt O: k't 'kr information kr 'kt man kt k't book 'k't = The information goes from the book to the man.

Causative/Instrumental (the thing that caused it to happen is the head)= H:pw O:p'w 'pw man pw p'w hammer 'p'w = There was a hammer because of the man OR The man causes something to happen using the hammer OR The man uses the hammer to do something.
