It is now possible to hold a simple conversation in my conlang.
FUCK YEAH
I actually wrote a 3-page conversation in Demonos (though, with the line breaks, the actual length is much shorter).
I'm really proud of how far I've gone. If anyone wants, I can post the whole thing here later--I need to type it up (I wrote the english translation below the Demonos sentences).
Demonos: Ge Daestor thoisataenku!
(Demonos: The best language!)

How many declensions do you have?
Demonos has no time for complex pronoun systems. It uses a very simple system, somewhat like English: They're declined in Nomative, Accusative, and Genitive cases.
There are no politeness or authority modifications. Demons have little time for much else besides fighting.
All of the are done in "[Nomative], [Accusative], [Genitive]":
1st sing: Gak, Gako, Chak
2nd sing: Gok, Goko, Chok
3rd sing (Adult Male): Gin, Gino, Chin
3rd sing (Adult Female): Gun, Guna, Chun
3rd sing (Child male): Ekun, Ekuno, Chekun
3rd sing (Child Female): Eko, Eko, Cheko
3rd sing (non-living things): Ega, Ego, Chega
1st plu: Tak, Taku, Thaku
2nd plu: Tok, Toko, Thoko
3rd plu: Ton, Tona, Thona
A simple system. But it works.
That, and the words "Ekun" and "Eko" sound really nice.
The word for "life", "Damnth", is derived from "Damnation".
Fitting for demons, eh?
Another interesting note: There is no word for "Hello" in Demonos. Neither is there a word for "Goodbye".
By the way, as I said, there is no word for "hello" (Besides "Harro", a loanword from English. To say "hello" in Demonos, you have to say a sentence that literally translates to "I hope you get into a battle today".
Also, "Good-Bye" in Demonos literally translates to "May we both die in Honor!"
"How old are you?" is done through a setence literally translated as "How many wars have you survived?".
....Demons like fighting, in case you haven't guessed
"Gak jo ga Staara zetengo" is "I walk to the store". Literally, it is "I to the Store walk".
Also, thanks to leaving my Demonos stuff at home accidentally, I'm starting to lay out a groundwork for the Angel language, Angelos (In Angelos, it's actually "Celestyia-sto"). It's heavily based off of Japanese.
