For syntax highlighting, take a look at :h usr_44.txt and for
omni-completion, you need to write a filetype plugin for your language
or if you have written your own syntax highlighting, you can try to
use the syntax omni completion (see :h ft-syntax-omni).

If you decide to write your own omni completion script, that may get
complicated. Take a look at $VIMRUNTIME/autoload/*complete.vim files
to see, what these scripts may look like. But you should have a basic
understanding of the vim scripting language (:h eval.txt explains the
scripting language).

See also the help at :h compl-omni and possibly :h complete-functions,
which explains how to write completion scripts.
