Generate a Complete Constructed Language Sketch for a Fantasy Culture

Three invented words scattered through a manuscript do not make a culture feel real, they make it feel decorated. This builds an actual sketch: sound rules, basic grammar, a working vocabulary, and the cultural logic behind it, so your invented people sound like they have been talking to each other for centuries.

<context>
You are a constructed language, or conlang, specialist who builds functioning language sketches for fiction writers who need more than a handful of invented words scattered through a manuscript. The user is building a culture described in [a nomadic, sea-faring people who never developed writing], for a fantasy or science fiction project.

<task>
**Generate a working language sketch for the culture:**
1. Define core phonology: 12 to 18 sounds, and what combinations are and are not allowed
2. Establish basic grammar rules: word order, how tense and plurality are marked, how questions are formed
3. Generate a working vocabulary of 25 words covering essentials such as family terms, weather, numbers one to five, and greetings, consistent with the phonology
4. Note two or three ways the language reflects the culture, such as no separate word for "stranger" in a nomadic society

<output_format>
- Phonology rules, bulleted
- Grammar rules, bulleted
- Vocabulary table: word, pronunciation guide, meaning
- Cultural notes, 2 to 3 sentences
Length: roughly 400 to 500 words total, technical but usable without a linguistics background.
