languagesan

Languagesan is a constructed language developed for linguistic research and language-learning practice. It was designed to explore how morphology, syntax, and phonology interact in a systematic yet approachable way, and to provide a neutral medium for cross-cultural communication experiments.

Its phonology uses a regular, small inventory of vowels and consonants, with no lexical tone and predictable stress on the penultimate syllable. The orthography is Latin-based, augmented with diacritics to indicate vowel quality and a handful of consonant distinctions.

Grammar and syntax: Languagesan is primarily agglutinative, with affixes marking case, tense, aspect, mood, and voice. Nouns inflect for case; pronouns have inclusive and exclusive forms. Verbs carry subject agreement markers; the default word order is subject–object–verb, though information structure allows flexible permutation via case marking.

Lexicon and semantics: The core vocabulary focuses on everyday concepts, with a system for productive derivation that allows many related meanings from a small set of roots. Semantics are designed to be neutral and culturally agnostic.

History and usage: Languagesan was created by a collaborative community of language enthusiasts and researchers. It is documented in online corpora, learning materials, and example texts, and is used in teaching–research contexts and in conlang hobbyist projects.

Status and reception: While not a natural language and no official speakers, Languagesan has an active niche audience; it is cited in linguistic forums and is used to illustrate typological possibilities and language-creation techniques.
