Before I got to the last paragraph, I actually thought this was a real language. (For some reason, I also misread the forum as L&L, which contributed to this as well.) Excellent work!

Also, how is Tyilirra pronounced? Based on Nyungar orthography I’m guessing /cilira/, but I’m not sure about my interpretation of ⟨rr⟩.

This looks awesome. I nearly wish OP had skipped the last paragraph, to heighten the mystery. ;)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Australian Aboriginal conlang before. Wonderful work!

What about the grammar? How do we get these particles from the Dutch auxiliaries like "hebben"? Seems like the grammar would be completely mangled from what little you've said. Looking forward to more!
