I'm currently working on a Maltese-inspired lang called Efahe Ċa-Bji, which I've got a short grammar for, a phonology, and a few test translations. Here's a real quick example:

"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

PRS-IPFV.to-jump.3S over.ADV ERG.fox.DEF quick.CONJ.brown.ADJ ABS.dog.DEF lazy.ADJ

Auġanu-igz ġena-oqp o-ukár użan’otk-olf ubáj omħa-olf.

/ˈɒ.d͜ʒɐ.nu.ɪgz ˈd͜ʒɛ.na.ɔʰp ɔ̆ʰ.ˈʊ.kɐ̌ɾ ˈʊt͜s.ɐn.ɔtk.ɔɬ ʊ.ˈbɐ̌j ˈɔm.ħɐ.ɔɬ/

Still working on what a script would look like (but have thoughts on that one, so watch this space), but I'm reasonably happy with the Romanisation as it stands.

Things are going smoothly. I've figured out a system for the script: it's logographic on the roots, with diacritics for the vowel harmony, and modifiers for the vowel pattern.

I've taken a lot of inspiration from Maltese cave art and Sinhalese, which shares a lot of the same spirals and designs (though this is entirely coincidence).

This looks cool, I like the approach of root words and modifiers.
