samelanguage

samelanguage is a constructed language project designed to serve as an international auxiliary language. It aims for ease of learning, neutral culture, and practical use in daily cross-cultural communication. The project treats samelanguage as a collaborative framework rather than a fixed language.

The phonology is compact and regular, using a Latin-based alphabet. It features a small consonant inventory and five vowels, with predictable stress. Spelling is phonemic, so letters closely reflect spoken sounds; punctuation is minimal.

Grammar emphasizes regularity. The default word order is subject–verb–object. Nouns have no gender; verbs do not inflect for person or number. Tense or aspect is indicated by auxiliary particles placed near the verb. A simple plural marker is used when needed.

The lexicon draws from multiple languages to reduce cultural bias. New terms are formed with a small set of productive affixes and compounds, aiming for transparent meaning and ease of learning.

Samelanguage originated in online communities of linguists, educators, and technologists in the 2010s. Documentation, learning materials, and dictionaries have circulated in forums and repositories. Today it remains experimental and not widely adopted, but it functions as a testbed for international language design and digital communication experiments.

Support and reception: proponents point to its neutrality and regular grammar; critics caution about achieving broad uptake outside dedicated communities. The project continues to explore pedagogy, tooling, and governance for collaborative development.
