[the Turkish, Persian and Arabic-based language Balaibalan]
Hi MarcoP,
Based on constructed language issue, this following additional info about the BALAIBALAN (as much as I know);
Balaibalan is "the firs (oldest known) constructed language" that created in the base of Turkish language. Which was written with Arabic alphabet. The grammar follows the Turkish structure of agglutinating. Although the phrase "Ottoman language" is seen in some articles in the West, such "Ottoman" language never existed. The language called Ottoman (and/or Ottoman Turkish) is a political name given to Turkish in the Ottoman period. The term Ottoman is a special name derived from the surname of the family (Osman).
However much of the lexis appears like wholly invented in the Balabanian, most of tham are phonetic-values-manupulated Turkish words that using together with mixed borrowed Farsi and Arabic words. All of tham was using in the Turkish agglutinating words structure in Turkish sentence structure.
I think the agglutinative structure of VM texts may seem like a consturucted language for certain reasons to those who are considering it as a language from the Indo European language family.
