Language Type	fictional language
Uniqueness	The uniqueness is how from this language you can create music based on the words of a poem (esp. lyrical poems).
Language Sources	Japanese and gibberish mainly inspired the vocabulary and the Hebrew Alphabet inspired the Ongaki non-tonal alphabet.
Design Principles	For most words, the syllables are to be manipulated so that it fits the English word's syllables. The online Dictionary has about 15 words; the total dictionary so far, about 100.
Interest Of Others	I do not know yet if any others are interested. If there are any, they are probably interested because they are curious about the outcome of the experiment. Whether or not you can use a language to make music is the basic definition of the language. I am looking for lyrical and poetic writers to help me in this experiment by working with me to both develop the language and to see if the experiment was a success or a failure. If you are interested, contact me at aczj5 (at aol.com).
