Hoi, ari.
Yes, it is one.

I don't have nearly the vocabulary in it to explain, especially since I've just been giving the sound changes a massive overhaul, but if it were a real language, it would be a distant relative of Japanese. The phonology isn't that far off Japanese if nearly all the allophones were phonemes — /p pʲ ɸ b bʲ m mʲ t (ts) d (dz) s z n ɲ k g c ɟ cɕ ɕ ʑ x ç l r w j ɴ a aː i iː (y yː) u uː e eː ø øː o oː ɘ/. It's also notably more permissive about coda consonants, with terminal /s n l r/ and increasingly /ɕ ʑ/ all being permitted in native words.

Selected Etymologies:
More: show
Imi. 語 iyu "language" | Nih. 言う iu "say"
Imi. 其 keo "this, that (mesial)" | Nih. こ ko- "this (proximal)"
Imi. つ tsu connecting or attributive particle | A similar form appears in Japanese place names, and some poetic constructions, as 秋津虫 akitsumushi "dragonfly", literally "autumnal insect"
Imi. 何ふ edō, contraction of Proto-Japonic *edu-ari "which" + copula; the lengthening is hyperadverbialisation; an uncontracted form 何り゙ (edori), "what is it?" also exists | The the do- interrogatives in modern Japanese are an irregular development from earlier forms in idu-.
Imi.
Imi. 声 koe "sound, pronunciation, voice" | Nih. 声 koe "voice'; the two are direct cognates
Imi. 憎き nyūki "ugly (adnominal)" | Nih. 憎い nikui (id., except also used as the predicative); the two are direct cognates
Imi. 書 seki "writing" originally "cursive writing, flowing script" | Nih. 急く seku "hurry, rush"
Imi. 道 ji "road, way, method" | Nih. 道 michi; the ji/chi are direct cognates
Imi. 云 "language, linguistic, speech", a form of 語 appearing in compounds | Compare Nih. 言う being sometimes .
Imi. 方 kyeu "area" | Nih. 方 kata; this one probably needs more explanation: historic Tinasan pitches were probably close to the more conservative Japonic ones, so Proto-Tinasan *kàtá would have been not dissimilar to the modern Japanese pronunciation; in low-fortis-high patterns, the consonant tends to decay (in this case [t̪ʰ] > [θ] > [h] > null); the two vowels would then coalesce to something like [aː] ([a] > [ɐ̞] happens later), which then merges with an existing [ɔᵝː] in most contexts (unless [a] appears elsewhere in the word, generally). Word-initial fortis stops also gain an intrusive [j] in low-pitched syllables; the resulting sequence [jɔᵝː] > [øᵝː] > [ø̞ᵝː] is the expected development.
Imi. 性 saga "trait, characteristic, feature" | Nih. 性 saga "nature, tradition, custom, habit"; the two are direct cognates.
Imi. 有り゙ ari (copula) | Classical Japanese 有り ari (id.); here us a predictable pattern to where /l/ and /r/ will show up: where at an earlier stage you would get /rʷ/, notably in the sequence */ro1/, the form fails to lateralise; this specific subfamily reanalyses the -u- stem of the verb as the base, with all verbal endings being historically labialised, whence the copula being ari, not otherwise expected *ali (though 蟻 yali "ant", as expected).
Imi. 𛀁 ye pluraliser, from PJ. *ya, a variant of the pluraliser *ra, note also Japanese 木花咲耶姫 Konohanasakuya-hime, in which sakuya is presumably a variant of sakura; where Japanese has historic /j/ and /r/ alternation, most Tinasan (I only have this one language, the name of which now should probably actually be Inyushimé) much developed, but the setting would imply it has several relatives) languages have /j/ regularly.
&c. &c.
