Of course all of this is a game. I address this point of yours > However, a sentence constructed using the same structure as yours highlights a problem. > 'Me two dog bite yesterday' > Did you bite two dogs or were you bitten by two dogs? "Me two" could be ungrammatical in that language. "Me VERB" is grammatical. Generalizing: "SUBJECT VERB" and for subject I'd go with "NOUN modifiers", so "dog two" and not "two dog". So the sentence should be either "Me bite dog two yesterday" or "Me dog two bite yesterday" or "Dog two me bite yesterday" or "Dog two bite me yesterday" or even "yesterday" + any variation of the above. Being a native Italian speaker I'm used to free order sentences. Given that language should be a mix of English and romance languages, some free ordering should be expected. Cases should stay away from any language aiming at simplicity. We simplified Latin a lot to get Italian (and French, Spanish, etc.) We also have way more speakers now. What happens in the real world is that when adult speakers of different languages meet in a bare place and start communicating with too simple rules like "beer two me drink yesterday" (that would be a pidgin [1]) is that they eventually have children that learn the language and add grammatical layers to it. So you would end up with Yesterday two beers me drink" or whatever they feel sounding better or being more economical to speak and understand. Then they become adults and have their own children and the language stabilizes. That's a creole [2] and it can be as complicated as any of the languages it derives from. This answers your last question. An alternative is developing an artificial language for maybe a restricted community, keep it simple by enforcing the grammar with an academia, and that will stay simple forever. I don't know if that's the case of Klingon or Vulcan (are they simple? do they have a governing body?) but it might be.
