About Abaasian
Abaasian is a language spoken by the abaases race in my conworld. At birth, abaases look like a rock and when they grow up, they start to look more like humans. First, abaases eat everything that humans eat. Then, they eat humans. In my conworld, they eat also other races who look more or less like humans: cyclops, dwarfs and leprechauns. Also, they are nice friends with ghouls. Abaases are not my fantasy, it's from the Yakut mythology.
Abaasian vocabulary is basically changed words from Altaic(aka Turkic, Mongolic, Koreanic and Japonic) languages, mostly from Shor and Yakut. They Yoda like speak because the SOV order word and adjective the noun following language this has(but knowyou, actually that like lookwouldit because it agglutinative).
Btw, there's no article, genitive case and the [v] sound. Abaases just...don't need it.
There's also c letter representing the [d͡ʒ] sound and stress are almost always on the last syllable.
Also, there's two vowels representing a long vowel.
ĕ as a diphthong/triphthong-forming [ə]
