'''Välyatalle''', [ˈvæl.jɑˌtɑl.le], (a compound of {{c|välya}} 'good, noble' and {{c|talle}} 'speech'), also known as '''Valian''' is an a priori artlang strongly inspired by Estonian phonology. The grammar is a mash up between agglutinative trends, weird case retention, a half-broken gender system (inspired by Swedish debates about forcing the use of a gender neutral pronoun to not 'offend' anyone), and appositional genitive constructions (with trends to state differences for nouns) and Spanish-style object/subject marking on verbs (e.g. entregandotelo 'giving it to you'). As a bonus, there's a lot of sandhi going on at morpheme boundaries to spice up the mix and a seeming Ablaut-style system in effect for many of the verb stems. It is currently being quickly codified as I spend more and more sleepless nights running different sounds through my head and deciding on morphological and syntactic features.

====Possession====

Nouns can be marked directly for possession, absorbing the role possessive adjectives have in many European languages. The markers are -~~itä~~, -~~ikä~~, -~~inä~~ corresponding to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd singular and follow the number marker. Thus ''siidinä'' 'his hope' and ''siiditän'' 'our (excl.) hope'. Although they are written with "unweakened" consonants they are to be pronounced as if written with the weakened set.
