About Ikotli
Ikotli is a non-naturalistic conlang I started on May 31st, 2023. It's grammar was based on a previous conlang I've since abandoned, called Kira'i.
In Ikotli, everything is based on importance. That means that the most important word / word group goes first. So a sentence like:
The man gave the woman a flower
You'd literally say:
Gave man the woman the flower (opērche la'ami ka kosha ka tlakeli)
I designed the Ikotli flag myself, and I'm not a graphic designer. That's why it looks bad. The green represents the land. The blue represents the sky. The sun in the center is a self reference. My Ikotli name is Riure, which means "sun".
