That was a really fun read! I do wonder how hard it'd be to make it go from random to pseudo-random in a way that would more closely resemble a real language to make it more realistic (and to stump some nerds for a while trying to look for a meaning that isn't quite there) such as making certain symbols or symbol combinations repeat more often than others, all of course while keeping it strictly meaningless.
