Mówilimy

Mówilimy is a constructed language designed to facilitate clear international communication and accessible language learning. Developed by a collaborative, transnational community of linguists, educators, and hobbyists beginning in the early 2020s, the project aims to offer a simple yet expressive grammar with regular rules and minimal irregularities. The name blends phonological cues from Polish with a neutral suffix to emphasize community speech.

History and development play a central role in Mówilimy. The project emerged from online forums, translation clubs, and open wiki-style documentation, with contributors proposing reformulations to reduce ambiguity and complexity. Standardization has been pursued through shared grammars, example texts, and public revisions, while the community encourages learners to contribute examples and corpus data to illustrate real-world use.

Linguistic features of Mówilimy emphasize regularity and ease of acquisition. The language adopts a fixed subject–verb–object word order. Verbs are not conjugated for person or number; tense is indicated by separate particles placed near the verb. Pronouns are gender-neutral and include singular and plural forms. Noun forms show no grammatical gender, and there is no mandatory plural morphology; plurality is inferred from numerals or context. Negation is marked with the particle ne before the verb. Adjectives follow nouns and agree in number with no irregular inflection.

Orthography uses the Latin script with a small set of diacritics to indicate stress and vowel quality. The lexicon tends to favour transparent compounding and regular derivation, drawing on global linguistic influences while maintaining a compact core vocabulary for everyday discourse.

Usage and reception surround online learning platforms, translation projects, and creative writing communities. Mówilimy is discussed as an accessible entry point to linguistics and conlang craft, though it is viewed by some critics as less naturalistic than longer-standing naturalistic projects.
