I'm writing a computer program to randomly generate sentences that are
supposed to _look_ like text in some unidentified natlang. In other
words the observer stumbling across this text should be tricked into
assuming it is written in some real language that he has never
encountered before. The program makes each word by randomly grabbing 1
to 4 syllables from a list of permitted syllables.
It seems to me the results don't quite look/sound natural. Any
suggestions for tweaks? It seems to me "n" should change to "m" in
certain situations, for example "hanbu" should be changed to "hambu."
Also there's something unbelievably random about the number of words in
each sentence and the sequence of vowels within longer sentences, but I
can't quite put my finger on it.
Here's a series of sentences generated by the program:
Zaba jandosan palosin yoja.
Tintan yoti hilo yuku bomu fiba yagi janpa.

Kupaka di tili fu chajan go lubi yu.
