This is all I've made of it so far. It's based primarily on Arabic, Latin and Persian with a simple grammar structure.

Some basic things/phrases.

Nam; Yes
La; No
Haba/Forsa; Maybe

Fen l-hammam/l-tojletta?; Where is the toilet?
L-bieb awal fi laman tejek; The first door on the right [lit. The door first at right yours, just to give you a basic understanding of the grammar]

Halo/Hawana; Hello
Kif anti?; How are you?
Gajed/Jani gajed, xaxa. Um anti?; Good, thanks. And you?

What's interesting about it?

If it's based (even partially) on Arabic, how'bout trilaterals? Seems all Semitic languages use them. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_root)

Also, you may want noise-resistant pronouns (meaning more than one sound to separate which is which). Those should be in _addition_ to the "h*" ones, for those occasion where you want to specify the gender (while still allowing for those cases where gender is less important).
Alternatively, allow a way to use gender-clarifying nouns; "his book" <> "that man's book" etc.

Don't change these.
