Epajan is an isolating conlang.
Phonology
The Epajan "alphabet" is actually a sort of abugida, similar to Devanāgarī script (used to write Sanskrit and Hindi). Each character represents a consonant, and diacritical marks represent vowels preceding the consonant (this is contrast to real life abugidas, where the vowel follows the consonant).
Grammar
Like Chinese, Epajan is an isolating language which has no case system, instead relying on word order to determine the subject, object or verb in a sentence.
