Design principles
I wanted Shaquelingua to be the most alien as possible so I removed almost any "common" grammatical concept. Shaquelingua has no subject, no verb, no direct or indirect object. It's not all-noun; there are no real nouns. It's not all-adjective because there are no real adjective either. It's "all-concept" where the concept can have either a substantive or qualificative value depending on context. The only "common" concepts I kept in Shaquelingua are the pronouns, the postpositions and the idea of grammatical cases, but do not look for nominative, accusative or such things. Shaquelingua is isolating but it is hard to find a sentence without agglutinated words of some kind.
Interest of others
Apparently somebody got so interested that he or she decided to post my conlang on LangMaker before I decide to.
