This is something of a mix between Proto-Austronesian and Proto-Sino-Tibetan, with a few clicks, the grammar being a version of Austronesian alignment.

Creating this language is my first time utilizing Austronesian alignment, and I need to look at how conlangs can be built with it, as well as Austronesian alignment itself. I'm hoping that there will someday be a video by Josh about it, though, with the way he might explain it, I hope it's good enough.
There are Austronesian conlangs like Kanguçwan by Lichen, which I need to scrutinize for my utilization of a custom version of Austronesian alignment that's true to the original version.
Various articles on Wikipedia talk about Austronesian alignment and its spin-offs like Philippine alignment, and they include citations to academic articles and other sources. So reading them might be useful and helpful. Do you guys know ideas for what can be done? Leave your ideas in the annotations or comments so that I can consider looking at them. And I hope they're helpful for my goals for this protolanguage.
