ekzistigi

ekzistigi is a constructed language created by the Esperantist Otto Simon. It is a minimal language, meaning it aims to be as simple as possible while still being functional. The vocabulary of ekzistigi is derived from a small set of roots, which are then modified to create new words. The grammar is also very simple, with few irregularities.

The primary goal of ekzistigi is to be easy to learn and use. Its simplicity makes it accessible to a wide range of people, regardless of their linguistic background. Simon developed ekzistigi as an experiment in linguistic minimalism, exploring the boundaries of what can be achieved with a very limited set of linguistic tools.

While ekzistigi has not gained widespread popularity like Esperanto, it has a small but dedicated community of speakers and enthusiasts. These individuals are often interested in the philosophical and linguistic aspects of constructed languages, particularly those that prioritize simplicity and efficiency. Discussions about ekzistigi often revolve around its design principles and its potential as a tool for clear communication. The language is sometimes referred to as a "philosophical language" due to its focus on fundamental concepts and its minimalistic structure.
