Uniqueness	What used to be known as Saalangal is now Ayhan. The name change was made to simplify it, and also because it reflects the change from something unsettled to something that I've finally decided needed to stay grounded, rather than scatterbrained. I've still kept its Philippine bent, but I've changed the verbs (it is sadly no-longer a trigger language, that bone of contention which had kept the language from settling down). However, it still has a very South East Asian Austronesian flavor, on the surface, but is still very much my own creation, pulling bits of grammar that I rather like.
Language Sources	Inspired in sound by Philippine and Indonesian languages. Some of the grammar is pulled from Spanish, English, and Tagalog, the languages which I am most familiar with.
Design Principles	To appear superficially like other South East Asian Austronesian languages, but retain its own character.
Interest Of Others	My own personal interest.
