Oh dear, indeed. :-( But I've always been wildly impressed by your language building skills. I could really do with some level of proficiency at that myself for what I'm doing here, but even pulling vocabulary from an existing (if obscure) language is a major time suck.
I knew my characters were going to have a language barrier before I started. It was one of the few bits of prep work I did in advance. It's incredibly good fun, having one character struggle to communicate, with no way of properly comprehending what she's seeing. She's misunderstanding certain things in a pretty major way.
