Allalangu

Allalangu is a fictional language created by linguist and polyglot **Luca Lampariello** as part of his experimental project to explore the boundaries of human language. Introduced in 2017, Allalangu is designed to be a fully functional, yet entirely artificial, language with no direct ties to any existing human tongue. Its development was documented through a series of videos and blog posts, where Lampariello outlined its grammar, vocabulary, and phonetic system, inviting viewers to engage with the concept.

The language is structured around a small, logical phonetic inventory, featuring sounds that are relatively easy for English speakers to approximate. Its grammar follows a subject-object-verb (SOV) word order, similar to Japanese or Korean, and employs a case system to indicate grammatical roles. Allalangu also includes a unique writing system based on a modified Latin alphabet, with diacritics to represent additional phonemes.

Lampariello’s goal was not to create a practical language for everyday use but rather to demonstrate how language could be constructed from first principles. The project attracted attention from linguists, language enthusiasts, and the general public, sparking discussions about language acquisition, artificial languages (conlangs), and the nature of human communication. While Allalangu remains a theoretical experiment, it serves as an example of how structured creativity can produce a coherent, if unconventional, linguistic system.

The language’s simplicity and transparency make it accessible for study, and some learners have attempted to pick it up as a hobby. However, due to its lack of real-world utility, Allalangu has not gained widespread adoption beyond its niche community of admirers. Its legacy lies in its role as an educational tool for understanding language design and as a creative exploration of human expression.
