Word order is VSO
Adjectives come in two types: initial (before the noun) and final (after the noun)
Nouns have two genders: masculine and feminine
Nouns have five numbers: singular, dual, trial, plural (4-50), and postplural (more than 50)
Cases are nominative, accusative, dative, locative, ablative, and vocative
Examples:
àʷɗj /ˈɒ˥˧ɗɨ/ is a masculine noun meaning "house"
ßj́ʷmeʷ /ˈʃʉ˧˥mø/ is a feminine noun meaning "tree"
Number particles: qʷɛʷ /qʷœ˩/ (singular), dual (unmarked), bēxß /be˥ʔʃ/ (trial), h₂ɔɔd /χɔː˩d/ (plural), h₁aāʷd /hɒː˥d/ (postplural)
Initial adjectives end with rounded vowels or consonants, final adjectives end with unrounded vowels or consonants
For example: ɛʷlîʷ /œˈny˧˩/ "big" is initial, ɠȷ̀h₂ /ɠɨ˥˧χ/ "heavy" is final
Letters make the same sound they do in the IPA unless specified else
This language also has tones, like any good IAL:

Tone markers:
None /˩/, macron /˥/, acute /˧˥/, grave /˥˧/, circumflex /˧˩/, breve /˨˩˦/
Vowels exhibit two lengths: short (unmarked) and long (double vowel). For long vowels with tones, the tone mark is placed on the second vowel.
Stress is not fixed; it can occur on any syllable.
The name of the language in the language is "Epɔɔ̀ł ẞʷĵtrɔdaß" /eˈpɔː˥˧l ˈʃʷɨ˧˩trɔdaʃ/, where "epɔɔ̀ł" means "north".
Mwy conlang ended upw with this fweature and I can't tell ifw it's stupwid or not.
✨HERE IT IS✨
(Also i accidentally divided the word "language" in the "language of the sun" box, and now i cant fix it✨
EDIT: Found another error YAY - switch the /h/ with a /x/)

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Masculine 1st Person | lose | loselose | loseloselose | losse | losese | lose’ |
Feminine 1st Person | loso | losoloso | losolosoloso | losso | lososo | loso’ |
Neuter 1st Person | losa | losalosa | losalosalosa | lossa | losasa | losa’ |

Neuter 3rd Person | a | aa | aaa | sa | a'a | a’ |
Genderless 3rd Person | ' | '' | ''' | 's | '⅋' | 😀’ |
theres 1s, 1p inclusive, 1p exclusive, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p pronouns
there are 5 grammatical number: singular, dual, singulative paucal, collective paucal, singulative plural, and collective plural. so there are 4 plural pronouns x 5 numbers: 20 plural pronouns, add the singular pronouns: 23 pronouns so far.
there are 5 distance for 3rd person: proximal, addressee-proximal, medial, visible distal, invisible distal. so, 6 x 5 = 30 3rd person pronouns.
so far there are 46 pronouns.
theres obviation for third person pronouns, so 30 x 2 = 60 3rd person pronouns. add 18 noun classes, so 60 x 18 = 1080 3rd person pronouns.
there are 6 level of formality/politeness, so there are 66 1st person pronouns, 30 2nd person pronouns, and 6480 3rd person pronouns.
but there are 12 additional distinctions of 1st and 2nd person pronouns based on the age gap, gender, and relationship between the speaker and the addressee, so there are 792 and 360 1st and 2nd person pronouns.
there are indefinite 3rd person pronouns, so 6480 x 2 = 12,960 3rd person pronouns.
so far there are 14,112 pronouns.
there are reflexive and reciprocal pronouns aside from normal ones, so 14,112 x 3 = 42,336 pronouns (reciprocal singular pronouns, why not).
there are 55 cases fused with the pronouns along with 6 tenses, 10 aspects, and 13 mood-evidentials, so there are 42,336 x 55 x 6 x 10 x 13 pronouns
total: 1,816,214,400 pronouns.

A conlang I made and posted on r/linguistics humour
Good-/i/ Bad-/y/ North-/ʊ/ South-/ø/ East-/ɘ/ West-/e/ People-/ɤ/ Food animal-/œ/ Predator animal-/æ/ Food inanimate/plant/a/
writngs is ideographical.Not that it really matters. Word order is nonexistent words can take as long as you want to pronounce mabey 10s a word. there's a tiger hiding over in the cave could be /y/ /æ/ /e/ /ʊ/ bad- predetor-west-north
Critisism or coment paraphrased unless “”
WHat is water? -stealing from the commenter below them. Depends on the culture wheather irt was inanimite food or animite food.
Are NSEW cardinal or relitive, how do people know. Cardinal people are pretty smart. Sun plus a landmark or two should be enough most of the time. Mabey if its clear they cant tell and they sad bad infront of every direction if only one repaet twice it can be relitive
Somone else made a better one
But, here’s something inspired by your design (7 words only):
/o/ human, /e/ animal, /a/ inanimate thing. /u/ good, /ɛ/ bad. /i/ this/here, /ɔ/ that/there.
Predators are /eɛ/ or /ɛe/, in contrast to /ue/ or /eu/, perhaps animals used for food. Edible plants, water, and tools would all be /au/ (or /ua/), while other objects can be /ɛa/ slash /aɛ/. And so on (e.g. perhaps /ɛo/ for members of another tribe). ‘This’ and ‘that’ are probably more useful for referring to specific items than cardinal directions.
You could plump this back up to 10 words with three new ones. ‘Many’ springs to mind as a useful addition. Perhaps a word to add some recursion (I’m thinking an ‘of/for’); a consonant would be cool, because you’d never need to use this one on its own. So, a good item for that bad animal could be /autɛeɔ/.
