I have long intended to make an isolating language that differs from Mandarin and such without being too much like English either. So let me start out.
These features I have already mentioned will be included:
- Wackernagel adpositions under some circumstances
- Suppletive auxiliary congruence
- As much of the indefinite pronoun thing as I can reapply to an isolating context
- Some impermissible possession
- Some unusual ordinals
- Something along the lines of verbal classes
- Implicative obviatives or whatever to call them
- A rich set of conjunctions
Seems like a set of features that could combine nicely and provide for a rich and detailed grammar.
