| łaá siri (ASCII transcription '''lhaa: siri''') is an minimalist artlang created by Zach Wellstood for personal use. Interesting characteristics include deictic verbal conjugation for the subject and object, a phonological inventory of 10 (or 13, depending on your view, or maybe more depending on other views) phonemes, and a 4-way system of animacy.
