As folks who know of and/or tune out Valles' world building rants from the Legendary Global channel could attest, I got into a conlang rant myself.
So, as part of the project to create a conlang or two for his story, I worked up this piece of "pseudo poetry." For pronunciation, consonants and digraphs are what you'd expect from English, vowels are the "Italian five" and "@" represents "schwa" or the sound represented by "u" and "o" in "button."
Shuz@ tirebe m@d,
Noi letala ko pal@ g@sita.
Cheni layomi supeya more sa!
Nigeche nalu.
At this point, nothing means anything, this is just trying to get the sounds to flow, or get a feel for the language.

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
