Don't you mean an "isolative" language?
"Agglutinative" languages, like Finnish (and I think
Turkish), do have a lot of inflections (Finnish
actually has about twice as many grammatical cases as
Pali), but unlike inflectional languages the roots
themselves are not changed - the affixes are just
added.
