Yazdkça

Yazdkça is a nascent constructed language and orthographic concept developed within online language-enthusiast communities. It is intended as a writing-oriented system that facilitates cross-language transcription and easy digital communication. The name is formed from yaz, the Turkish verb “to write,” combined with the suffix -dkça, echoing Turkish language names and suggesting “the language of writing.”

Phonology and writing system: The plan for Yazdkça centers on a phonemic Latin-based alphabet. The core script uses the standard Latin letters with a small set of diacritics to distinguish phonemes not represented by basic letters, aiming for regular sound-symbol correspondences to minimize irregularities. Optional logographic elements have been proposed for high-frequency morphemes to speed reading.

Grammar and syntax: Yazdkça is intended to be analytical with a base SVO word order, though flexible arrangements are permitted to emphasize topics. Particles and affixes mark tense, aspect, mood, number, and definiteness, while root words remain relatively stable to promote learning and cross-language comprehension. The vocabulary draws from international lexicons to maximize recognizability and ease of adoption.

History and status: The concept emerged in online discussions beginning in the early 2020s. There is no widely accepted standard or formal academy governing Yazdkça; resources remain limited to forum posts, sample texts, and language-learning sketches.

Usage and reception: It is used primarily for creative writing, world-building, and linguistic experiments within conlang communities. Reception is mixed; supporters cite readability and inclusivity, while critics question practical utility and the lack of empirical foundation.
