Language Type	fictional diachronic language
Uniqueness	I abused one major universal. I have eight vowels, all back vowels, and all with '_e' (pharyngealized) to make them sound angry. The language has seven aspects, 28 cases and 24 moods, and so is inflectional to the extreme! My 'odd' gender system, and my "purposeful" choice of consonants to make the language harsh and ugly makes Black Speech sound like Finnish ;).
Language Sources	Any and all languages with ugly, difficult, consonant clusters... Ubykh and Russian come to mind...
Design Principles	Make the language sound nasty, mean, the clusters make one choke and hack...using a (C)CVC(C)(C).(V)(C) as my word type, I can get some interesting looks. especially when adding stops in the middle of your syllable :).
Interest Of Others	The guys on ZBB.
