Toaliralolo languages is a [[fictional diachronic language and was created by Jim Henry. It has been used for a translation of the Babel Text.
Language sources
The roots of Old Toaliralolo are a priori (with a few borrowings from Old Pliv, another of my languages, though not on my web site yet). Thauriralau is descended from Old Toaliralolo with a few borrowings (mostly names) from other conlangs in the same world.
Design principles
Grammatically isolating, with an interesting (to me, at least) mix of postpositions and prepositions, and a strong dependence on gender/number articles to distinguish different senses of words (the same word may mean living body or corpse depending on the gender of the article). Semantically, it is supposed to fit the alien biology and culture of the Toaliralolo.
