In creating the language, Ellison wanted to create something at once human and yet alien, something that might seem like a language created by a society, but one also something that might seem to be created by an alien civilization light-years away.
Phonology
Writing
Ellison elected to use the Roman alphabet, albeit with some modifications, to represent the sounds of his language.
Grammar
Bikalyo is a VSO language. Verbs conjugate for mood, tense, and positive/negative, rather like some aspects of the Japanese verb. Postpositions can indicate the functions of some words, if such a distinction is needed.
