About Saiaku
Two bored women deep in the mountains of Montana got bored and decided to construct a language. Chaos ensues.
Saiaku is a Hellish amalgam of Japanese and English, with bits of Dutch, French, and other languages thrown in. Its phonology and syllable structure are mostly borrowed from Japanese, though there are some differences. It is a mostly-head-final agglutinative language.
