Design principles

The language is mildly agglutinating, and I have aimed to give it good scope for word-building. I've deliberately left certain features out to stop Lesdekan from becoming over-complicated. Nouns show number and definiteness but not case. Verbs show tense, mood and voice, but not person or duration. Several affixes may be re-used with different classes of words. Words are chosen with regard to the "flavour" of the language; they must sound Lesdekan.

Interest of others

It's a personal language, but I hope others will be interested.
