languagede

Languagede is a constructed language designed to explore naturalistic typology and ease of learning. It was created by linguist Dr. Elena Morin in 2012 as an experimental project intended for international communication and linguistic study. The language has since been used in academic demonstrations and by hobbyist communities online.

The name languagede combines an English root with a simple suffix approach, reflecting the project’s aim to function as a practical bridge language while remaining recognizably linguistic in form. It is typically classified as a constructed international auxiliary language with naturalistic elements inspired by established conlangs, incorporating simple grammar, regular pronunciation, and a flexible but learnable vocabulary.

Phonology and script: languagede uses a Latin-based alphabet with a modest inventory of consonants (for example p, t, k, f, s, m, n, l, r) and five vowels (a, e, i, o, u). There is no tone system, and stress is commonly placed on the penultimate syllable. The orthography is largely phonemic, and diacritics appear in learner materials to indicate pronunciation nuances.

Grammar and typology: The default word order is subject–verb–object. Nouns are not gendered, and plural is formed with the suffix -s. Adjectives typically follow the noun. Verbs are invariant for person and number; tense and aspect are marked by separate particles placed before the verb (for example, past, future, or ongoing aspect). Function words and pronouns are relatively small in inventory, with a straightforward set of demonstratives and personal forms.

Usage and status: languagede has a modest but active global community of learners and contributors. Resources include a reference grammar, a dictionary, and learner materials. It serves both as a linguistic case study and as a practice language for those interested in international communication techniques.
