Uniqueness	An aggluginating VSO language. The appearance is like that of Finnish, mostly consisted of long words with endings instead of separate articles, etc. The sound structure was borrowed from Quechua, except I removed /ch/, /ñ/, /ll/ and /w/ and added /v/. Aside from /d/ in the cluster /and/, /v/ is the only voiced non-nasal consonant in the language. Most words are original, but Finnish and Quechua inspired some of them.
Language Sources	Mostly Finnish and Quechua, particularly in the case of grammar, but also from similar-sounding (many consonants, few voiced consonants) languages such as Japanese. A few words from other languages (i.e., Irish) were adapted to Florish phonology.
