Qesílexh is a language spoken by the people of dralaxha and evolved from a combination of their languages notably zne, qahasi lasi and czexha.
It has a large sound inventory featuring contrast between front sounds and back sounds.

And it has a custom writing system/orthography which I think looks really cool.
