wzchem5's work is probably not too suitable for a modern language (it sounds like caveman's language).
I would like SVO order.
The rest others should decide. At the end,I want this to be a combined project where everyone has left something.

This is intended. The pronounciation <-> meaning mapping is to a large extent arbitrary, but pronounciations that do mimic natural sounds related to the meaning are slightly better than those that do not. So a rational approach would be to maximize the resemblance between the pronounciation and a natural sound that is related to its meaning.
Some language evolution happened,however.

Holy cruds, this thread has 3 pages already?
I think we should define the phonotactics and allowed diphthongs as well.
It looks to be (C)(C)V(C)(C) so far, I think...
as for diphthongs, I cant be bothered right now to list all used so far... maybe just allow all? And what's the phonemic inventory and orthography???
Ill make a doc tomorrow
We used no diphtongs so far.
Can you contribute some vocabulary,please?
Me and my friend are almost constantly active and the language quickly grew.
Have a good day!

I don't think we need short and long vowels since we already made words without long/short difference.
I am not sure about the additional letters.
The orthography is clear I think.

Ok then
think = resheo
and wzkchem5 we're both on Mars!
Wait I'd said that -ad makes a verb out of a noun so to think is reshadeo.
Edit: I don't know how we missed this but how are we supposed to make stuff plural?

We replaced -ad with -eo. I don't think -ad sounds pleasant and I want the language to sound so.

I'm okay with -eo being infinitive but I still think we need a suffix to make a noun a verb.
Hey Moosey yeah we do need to figure out phonemes, orthography, phonotactics. Let me ask you something though: what number base should the language use?

-eo does the same job.
I will allow you to create the plural suffix.Please try to have continuity with the way the language sounds.
Everything is read phonetically,for an example a is not read ey but a.

-ral for plural
What about ay? Is there any way to get a long a or any other long vowel?

We already added a lot of vocabulary and that may be tricky to change all words to variants with long or short vowels. Making long vowels rare is also not a good idea I think.
Do you accept -al as a suffix if the word ends with a consonant?

Some questions:
Why are some sounds omitted?
Is the last sound ch as in cheese?
Other than diphthongs are these the only sounds?
Is c always pronounced like in cinnbar?
Is there a way to make a short u?
Also, I think the diphthongs should be au, ai, oi, ao, oa, and ei.
