Editorial	Inspired by Celtic and Turkic languages, Otg (pronounced /o-ti/) has word-initial case markers, vowel contrast and harmony for grammatical function, and - as you may have gathered - contorted pronunciation of the Latin orthography. The language is mainly agglutinative, with the inflected nouns allowing free word order. The author has coined over 16,000 words, not all yet on the web site.
Uniqueness	Word-initial case markers, vowel contrast/harmony as grammatical function, contorted pronunciation of Latin orthography
Language Sources	Turkic, Celtic
