A language isn't a brief & vague wordlist. You've been told this before.

A language is a form of communication which uses words, thus this is a language.

Ultimately, it is no more a language than: "Çaan parinkal te SomeoneSomewhere" for "My name is SomeoneSomewhere". Languages consist of amazing phonologies an grammars not just words. Also, why's this biased, it looks ultimately more Spanish than any other romance language. Why not choose French or Romanian? Just saying. :P

Ok, my translation would be an admission to it being a language...

English
81 letters/spaces and 22 syllables:

A language is a form of communication which uses words, thus this is a language.

Teka
54 letters/spaces and 20 syllables:

teka ta paso ne nome losa teka na la poke le ta teka.

Will you show us the phonology and grammar please?

Here's my dictionaries definition of a language: "The method of human communication, either spoken or written, consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional way."

Did you read the structured and conventional way?

The language is Subject-Verb-Object.
adjectives come before nouns.
the copula "ta" insists that a noun/adjective follows, never a verb...
punctuation is never used, only a period.
putting the word "no" after a sentence changes it into a question..

That's the structured use of words.

Phonology? Declination? Conjugation? Allophony? Isolating? Agglutinating?

Transivity? Pronouns? Determiners? Cardinal numbers? Ordinal numbers? Moods? Voices? Gender? Class?

^ I agree. I'm a relatively new conlanger, however, I don't just create word lists and claim them to be languages. I could do that right now, but it would be super boring. :P

Don't let your pride control you. These people are experienced linguists. Languages are not just a list of words, with a few simple rules. You have no mood, tense, case or anything. This is, therefore, not a language, but the beginning of one.

Don't let all of this get to you. I'm sure most of us began like this. Stick around: conlanging becomes really fun when you learn all the sorts of things you can put in.

He's not new. He's been doing this for ages which is why we feel free to take the piss out of it.
He never changes and it's just ridiculous. So yeah, this another arpee vomitlang.
