Uniqueness	Vling, inspired by Oriental xenophilia, uses the magic of tones to differentiate the parts of speech. By merely changing the tone, a word can be converted from a noun to a verb to an adjective to an adverb, et cetera. While 3000 words have been coined, not all have been defined yet.
Language Sources	Mandarin, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Thai, Japanese, Esperanto, Lojban.
Design Principles	East Asian phonology. Highly analytic syntax. Tones indicate part of speech. Free word order. Optional verb tense and aspect. Extensive list of aspect markers. Head-first and head-last adjectives. Head-first and head-last relative clauses.
Interest Of Others	Those looking for an "Oriental Esperanto"...
