So with the massive amounts of time that I have on this deployment, I have decided to write a Drakna language large enough to have full length conversations with to include conjugating verbs to the three major tenses along with their affirmative, negative and progressive parts and other commonly used forms. I don't know how long this will take, but it will be done before I return and I also hope to be able to speak it as well. :]
But why tell you guys? Simple. I would like your help. If you can find the time, please post here verbs and verb forms that you feel are absolutely essential to everyday conversation such as: to run, to eat, to sleep and forms like to express the (in)ability to do something (I can fight - et venae vekviiezul) or expressing advisory action (You shouldn't have been stealing. - tem litmakniltormaknig).
On a related note, whenever I am done I am more than willing to help write one or more of the other languages in tandem with a person who plays that race. I'd prefer it that way so the language might not be created all for naught. Maybe one day we will have one of each language and we can converse in our native tongue!
Don't forget suffixes and prefixes, and words that are unique to the language's culture; in other words, words that might not have direct english translations but are drakna concepts/expressions of thought.
...And now I need to go bathe for helping a drakna. (lol, jk~) Good luck with the development!
An update, for those interested!
I have not developed the language too much further due to lack of motivation, but I have recently started up again and I have organized my progress so far in a google docs excel sheet. The link will be posted below so my progress can be followed and those who want to learn it with me can do so. I am hoping that this will be finished before my returning event.

UPDATE: I have 76 verbs and 8 different ways to handle verbs. If you would like to make suggestions for new verbs and verb forms then message me and I will send you a list of what I have so far. My goal is at least 100 essential verbs and as many verb forms as possible.
After verbs, I am going to tackle nouns, then adverbs and adjectives together. I hope to have at least 100 of both of those as well.
