About Vinnian
Vinnian is an a priori artlang spoken by about 30 million people on the island state of Vinnia (in the North Atlantic Ocean, about halfway between Canada and Portugal).
Vinnian is a priori, but it takes some inspiration from natlangs, especially Russian and the Uralic langs (especially Finnish and Estonian).
It's a very "pure" agglutinative language with almost no trace of fusion anywhere. Some exceptions exist, but they're very rare. Nouns and verbs are heavily inflected, but other parts of speech are not.
