So that's the name of your new conlang? Sounds like something Pabappa would name a language.

I must agree... Sounds cool though!

:con: Arežagh

You now hear the Arežagh language. Northerners always fail to speak Arežagh.

A bit more conworld-specific here. Kəmm is the derogatory Arežagh for a northerner.
For those who care about such things, it derives from a word meaning "taboo-breaker." This refers to the fact that the historical Ohesian moiety system is falling out of use in the northern peninsular areas. Since then, this has spread such that the southerners have little regard for it either, but the name remains. For fairness, the derogatory NE Areyaxi word for a southerner is nyexə, or "butcher," as the people of the south have a (well-deserved) reputation for warlikeness.

Also, I did 2pl since this is in a video, and thus addressing a plural audience.
