ohjekieli

Ohjekieli, also known as "guide language" in English, is a constructed language designed to facilitate communication and understanding between speakers of different languages. It was created by Finnish linguist Juha Janhunen in the late 1990s. The primary goal of ohjekieli is to provide a simple and neutral means of communication, particularly in situations where language barriers may exist.

The language is characterized by its minimalistic vocabulary and straightforward grammar. It uses a small set of basic words and phrases that can be easily understood by speakers of various languages. The syntax of ohjekieli is also designed to be simple and unambiguous, reducing the likelihood of misunderstandings.

Ohjekieli is often used in educational settings, such as language learning classes, to help students communicate with each other and with teachers. It can also be useful in tourist information centers, hospitals, and other public services where multilingual communication is essential.

The language has been translated into several languages, including English, Spanish, and French, making it accessible to a wider audience. Despite its simplicity, ohjekieli has been praised for its effectiveness in promoting cross-cultural communication and understanding.
