Vakyaean

Vakyaean is a constructed language developed for speculative fiction and worldbuilding. Its name is inspired by the Sanskrit vakya, meaning "sentence," with the -ean suffix marking it as a language. The design emphasizes expressive sentence‑level meaning while remaining approachable for learners, evolving through collaborative communities of creators.

Phonology favors clarity across media and is described as largely phonemic. Common consonants include p, t, k, m, n, l, s, r, v, with vowels a, e, i, o, u. Syllables are typically CV or CVC, and there is penultimate-stress. The system aims for easy pronunciation for diverse speakers.

Grammar is largely analytic with limited inflection. Nouns show little overt case marking; relations are signaled by function words and particles. Verbs use tense and aspect markers via auxiliaries or clitics, rather than full conjugation. The basic word order is flexible, often SVO, to accommodate emphasis and discourse flow.

Writing employs a distinct script mapping consonants and vowels to a set of characters, with diacritics for vowel length. A Latin transliteration is commonly provided to aid learners. The script emphasizes clear sentence boundaries to reflect the language’s sentence-focused design.

Vakyaean appears in novels, games, and online language communities, with a growing corpus of texts and instructional materials created by volunteers. In its fictional world, it is often presented as an official or ceremonial language of certain institutions.
