Why did you make this language? Hobby, worldbuilding, school, etc.: Hobby

How long has this language been developed?: For 3 or 4 years.
Dominant word order: SOV, SVO, VSO, VOS, OSV, OVS, topic-prominent, no dominant order, other (define) Free word order but subject is always before a verb because they are always in a single word (орманотак wood(to)burn - wood burns). Adjectives are always written after the noun they modify and adverbials always go at the end (ошқндь мьнқршак үіьм - today I go home мьнқршак үіьм ошқндь I go home today)

Other interesting features of note: three stage clusivity (speaker+listener, speaker+someone else except the listener, speaker+listener+someone else);
postpositions written as suffixes and therefore almost indistinguishable in use from noun cases. If we agreed that postpositions too are just cases, there would be over 105 cases in Eastern Tatar;
no question mark, the question suffix -аз/-əз is used instead. Exclamation marks are written at both ends of a sentence and they only denote shouting. They aren't used for for imperative, insead only the -жар/-жəр suffix is used;
no verb "to be"
no modal verbs, just modal suffixes (мьнқршактьль I want to go;
vowel harmony
*I translated it as "hand" but that is incorrect because the word кол actually means hand. The word колть describes sort of the space enclosed by someone's hands and chest as they hold/hug someone/something. Both the word колтьолньнда and колтаролньнда are translated as "in his/her/its hands" but while the first one can be used in the example sentence with the baby, the second one would sound weird. Колтаролньнда has a more literal meaning, like in the sentence "I held knives in my hands". Hopegully, you are aware of the difference between how babies and knives are held "in one's hands".

Other interesting features of note:
• In theory, Kongfuzian language has ability to transcribe every single Chinese character to Kongfuzian language in a system called Sino-Kongfuzian pronunciation.
• Sino-Kongfuzian pronunciation is radically different compared to Chinese dialects, Sino-Japanese, Sino-Korean, and Sino-Vietnamese pronunciation because it system can be traced to an ancient distant dialect of Old Pre-Middle Chinese.

How many words are in your vocabulary?: I don't actually know, probably too many to count for me
Other interesting features of note:
- Following the Uralic tradition of having a lot of cases, Aurun has 17 in total.
- Vowel harmony is slightly different where ü [y] is a neutral vowel but ˙ (üü) [y:] is a front vowel.
- The ˙ deserves a special mention as the long ü, which is written as üü in some languages but in Aurun, it has its own letter.
- The y can be pronounced in different ways but it's usually [i:] and in some cases it's [j] if it's at the start of the word.
Example:
Ya (yes) is ['ja]
Ya (I/me) is ['i:a]
In some Aurun dialects, ya (yes) is written as ja.
- Forming compound words usually has the connecting -n- between the two words if the former ends in a vowel. Sometimes it's not the case like in keikakö (cake month), because of phonology and stuff.
- It features sentence-final particles and one dialect uses it extensively.
- Long numbers, long words.
- Aurun is related to a few other conlangs I made.

(More details in the future)
This is the same concept I translated as embrace, which I guess isn't used as a noun much in English..

- Modern Kuyonnen is a fun mix of North and West Germanic and Uralic (Aurun)
- Unlike other Germanic languages, Kuyonnen has more noun cases (no set number yet) due to its Uralic influences
(More details will be added soon when I eventually update the language)
Thinking of making a list/table of all 45 Aruzhin noun cases.
Qatredećinco. Pra’q.
Forty five. Why.
I've a question: what does "topology" mean in this context?
Hm. Terminology wise what you have is 45 case forms, representing 15 cases - not 45 noun cases. The case function is similar even though it surfaces differently for the different genders. 15 cases is still a lot any way imo.. I'd love to see the list of the forms. :)
Thanks for correcting. XD
Was busy with something else at that time but starting now, I'm free!
Ki'nie?
Why not?
KAHACUUUUUUN!
FREEDOOOOOOOM!
:D
I taciedie. :)
And you're welcome. :)
Edit:
Why not make a word of the day of that?:
Kahacun - freedom
Auruna, Upper alterac, and Kongfuzia
What context is that? *confused*
Aurun
VAPAITSI!
Aruzhin
KIRINZHEINIKSE!

"What is this language's typology? (agglutinative, fusional, polysynthetic, isolating, analytic)"
Ahh, typology, not topology! XD
Typology is about comparing broad tendencies between languages, asking questions about how they do different things and grouping them into categories (types) based on the answers.. a typical example is "how are grammatical marking handled" (broadly). If the answer is "by separate, free standing particles, the language is isolating. Agglutinating means tacking freestanding affixes each with one role onto the root word and each other. Fusional means affixes fuse together and one affix can handle several grammatical tasks.
Wikipedia can explain all of this wayy better than me.. XD
I checked said page earlier, & that's why I'm now asking in here.
but I still don't get it
I can try to help, although I'm more knowledgeable in agglutinative languages and a lot of these are broad terms.
Agglutinative - Words can be modified with different morphemes to determine their meaning but the morphemes, usually affixes, remain even if you put more and more morphemes on each other.
Examples:
Tagalog - Kain (eat) → Kumain (to eat / ate) / Kumakain (eating) / Nakain (has been eaten) / Nakakain (has eaten)
Finnish - Huone (room) → Huoneet (rooms) / Huoneita (some rooms) / Huoneissa (in rooms)
Japanese - (from Wikipedia)
taberu ("(subject) will eat (it)")
tabetai ("(subject) wants to eat (it)")
tabetakunai ("(subject) doesn't want to eat (it)")
tabetakunakatta ("(subject) didn't want to eat (it)")
Fusional - Affixes are fused together into one that single morpheme is used to denote multiple grammatical, syntactic, or semantic features.
Example:
Latin - (From Wikipedia)
An illustration of fusionality is the Latin word bonus ("good"). The ending -us denotes masculine gender, nominative case, and singular number. Changing any one of these features requires replacing the suffix -us with a different one. In the form bonum, the ending -um denotes masculine accusative singular, neuter accusative singular, or neuter nominative singular.
Isolating - Everything is separate, doesn't use any inflections or agglutinations to modify a word.
Example:
Chinese
Polysynthetic - The word is the entire sentence.
Analytic - English
You know where I completely gave up in this post. XD
Upper alterac, Fontcollina, Kuerhyedeenistan, and Not Pacific
FRIIHAJT!!!
Upper alterac and Kuerhyedeenistan
pro'um xemplo d'polisincetico, t'tem'l'meu
as an example of polysynthetic languages, you have mine
Lyids-luw（自由）= Free; Liberty; Freedom
alyked - liberty, freedom
