Building a language for a telepathic race.

One of the races in my con world is telepathic, though only with members of their own species. Among themselves they communicate in thoughts and emotions rather than words.

Early in their development they were not telepathic and communicated with traditional language. The telepathy developed when they were fairly primitive so I'm thinking the language is simple.

All I've got for the language is that words are constructed from short syllables such as pa, ca, and sha.

What I'm looking to do is make a naming language for them, any advice or guidance would be appreciated.

Edit 1: Ok since everyone seems to misunderstand what I'm looking for here this is not a language that developed after they were telepathic nor is it used for communication between telepaths but between them and non telepathic people. That said they would obviously have adjusted it somewhat after gaining telepathy.

Edit 2: I get that 'simple' isn't the best choice of word3to describe a language but I was going for simple sounds not necessarily simple grammar. So more one or two syllable words and not many (or none) with more.
