--Aplhabet--

Aa Bb Dd Ee Ff Hh Ii Jj Ll Mm Nn Oo Pp Qq Rr Tt Uu Ww Ää Öö

-All vowels are long unless [Ä] or [Ö] are used.  These shorten the vowel.  
-[Q] replaces all plosive sounds ('k' and 'hard c'), but is never pronounced 'kyew'.  'G' is not used
-[J] is pronounced [y]
-When two vowels or even three vowels are placed next to each other, they produce a sort of overlong vowel. [i]+[i]= [i:]

--Cases--

Äti[i]         Äti[ä]            Äti[ät]                 Äti[l]                Äti[lä]              Äti[li]

UPDATE: I have added the second person plural conjugations. I will work on the Mood conjugations and add them in soon.

I do not intend to use this language much as it is HIGHLY agglutinative, and while that makes for some cool word-sentences, even I, the creator, cannot pronounce it very well.

Seems that the second personal pronoun agreement has no distinction in numbers?
