How do you make a language which can have entire paragraphs be single words?

Phonology-Orthography-Phonotactics

There are 26 letters, because on a small scale, this is a cipher and a joke. The 26 letters all correspond exactly to the IPA. There are probably rules of the phonotactic persuasion, and they are probably most similar to Georgian. Here are some good examples.

dkt - fly (root)
iioa - contrived sentence for when something bad happens
oiioa - pieces of fecal matter (five syllables)
Xprpnpepb - catamaran

Names and nouns are capitalized. If the word or affix before the noun ends with the same letter as the noun starts, it is also capitalized.

Sif - dog
xpyawSif - because of the dog
xpyaWWienDiksi - because of Winn-Dixie
