Our /lang/uage

This is going to be a long post. I might separate it into parts.

/lang/, stay with me for a second here, what if we (the /lang/ collective) were to write, publish, and fluently speak our own language? Wouldn't that be interesting? You remember when you were kids you always had dreams of concocting your own language to speak with your friends and stuff? Same concept, only you probably have the capacity, with a little patience, ingenuity, and help from others, to actually ACCOMPLISH it. This thought came to me a couple days ago, I was listening to "Prenzlaurberg" by Beirut, and since the song sounds like slurred gibberish, I decided to transcribe it the way I heard it/maybe fudge what I hear a little and have it take on its own meaning. I'm going to post a small portion of the song, what I think it would say in the new language. Completely by ear, make your own assumptions for any loanwords that it looks like I used

Prenzlaurforue / District of Prenzlaur (forue being a suffix)
Sol la vor ' manie fonore / The sunshine ' [on] balcony's edge
Zlait crie eurnre remoir / Even when people lament
Sol la vor ' manie fonore / The sunshine ' [on] balcony's edge
Zlait crie em nol dem deed / Even when I'm old and dead
Aicanter toni, zlait au crie / Singing tonight, even still
An lo eisis vai ensom foture / And look, [the] moon's face tells [of the] future
Addolot sem sair por la vire, soilar / [The] neverending sea dances at lit. "the"; in context: "its" call, shaking
Em wachet ver por la vire, taim, taim.../ He abruptly stills at his call, wait, wait...

Literally any question/comments/criticism are welcome, I really hope it can become a success.

About accusative: I don't think it's a good idea using a suffix or something like that, I like using word order for this, like most languages do... so, something like SVO [subject verb object] would already work.

But if we're going to use accusative marking, why not a preposition for it? This allows free word order, but uses no inflection. Dunno, I suggest ба/ba because it sounds cool (source: Mandarin's object marking /pa/).

But still... word order is more intuitive... :D majority decides.

Needs some years, yes. But no way over 9000. In the first year, we already have something brute, enough to play around but not enough to use without other languages.
Vocabulary is the single most boring and time-consuming part, the rest is somewhat straightforward.

About grammar classes: I think using
nouns [almost obligatory], verbs [needed too], SOME adverbs [so we doesn't need to conjugate verbs], but NO ADJECTIVES.

We can use substantives for both things and characteristics. So, instead of saying "the girl is beautiful", we use "girl has beauty". Got it?

In this case, we won't need even a "to be" verb, just "to have" verb make its role.

I see this as a brainstorming... first, we throw all our ideas, after this we work them as a language.

ABOUT THE FLAG: pure awesomeness. You guys are GREAT.

Grammar-wise, what about something like
"fox with brown [past] with quickness jump over dog with lazyness"?

Vulpos is tricky because of /v/ and /l/ sounds, we can use another source for it. Chinese uses "huli", we can adapt to хури/huri.

Marroon here is acting as an substantive, not as adjective. And we can keep it simple using "dark red" instead - like, соў-рубеў/sow-rubew (see >>63 for my proposed colours).

"With" preposition can be worked as кун/kun, from Lat. "cum".
Repeating кун/kun to say that it is both quick AND brown is tiring, so I suggest using an "and" particle - aw/аў, from Hindi "awr".
So, using these changes in your phrase, goes as

huri kun sow-rubew aw kerera hopen supe kane kun pirasa
хури кун соў-рубеў аў керера хопен супе кане кун пираса

GUYS, GUYS, IMPORTANT: for those using Linux, like me, Gedit can transliterate as you write. Just right-click in text, select "input method", ?????, profit!
