Uniqueness	Sinnish is a mostly inflected language, without a 'to be' verb and with a loose structure for the "verbing" of nouns and the "nouning" of verbs. Describing nouns is done almost entirely with participles. The lexicon uses mostly compound words and will have a diverse number of terms for describing elements of a number of alternative-sexuality subcultures. It also has a number of alphabets with others planned. It is designed as a personal language and as a language for an RPG background.
Language Sources	It steals ideas from a number of different places, including Spanish, Latin, Laadan, Quenya and English. The lexicon is a priori, however.
Interest Of Others	Just a few of my friends and my wife so far. They like the idea of it being used as a stealth language and to use it to express ideas from various subcultures that are otherwise difficult to explain.
