aäri

aäri is a constructed language created by R. Scott Boyer. It is designed to be a fully functional language with its own grammar, vocabulary, and phonology. Boyer began developing aäri in the early 1980s, and it has been undergoing continuous refinement since then. The language aims to be logical and easy to learn, with a focus on clear expression and avoiding ambiguity.

The phonology of aäri features a number of sounds not commonly found in English, including ejectives and pharyngeals. Its grammatical structure is agglutinative, meaning that grammatical functions are expressed by adding affixes to root words. Nouns are declined for case and number, and verbs are conjugated for tense, aspect, mood, and person. The vocabulary of aäri is largely based on Boyer's own invented roots, although there are also influences from various natural languages.

aäri has been used in a variety of contexts, including creative writing and linguistic experimentation. It is documented through dictionaries, grammars, and online resources, allowing interested individuals to study and learn the language. While not widely spoken, aäri represents an example of detailed and systematic conlang creation.
