About Kualka
Language directly inspired by Tiffany (Tinzin). Phonology (mostly) courtesy of Gleb, seed 1463381271. Credit also goes to Oscar W. Greenberg for first proposing the idea of "color charge" of subatomic particles. The name Kualka is an adaptation of the English word "quark" to the phonology of this language.
The syntactic structure of Kualka is based on the quantum chromodynamic principle of "color confinement", that is, every clause must have a total color charge of 0. Verbs have inherent color charge and their arguments must take color affixes in order to zero out the color charge of the clause.
