About Nazule
alohor!
Nazule is an engineered polysynthetic language with the goal of being speakable to humans, condensing information and adding detail to speech without ambiguity, while staying logical and consistent. Nazule is my second attempt at a conlang, after a very short-lived attempt known as "Korhuan" which was mostly an English relex with some lexicon taken from Mandarin and some changes to make things more sensible. After this, Nazule began as an analytical language with some more refined goals of being logical and using as few verbs as possible (I even thought about the possibility of using only 1 verb!). After quite a while, I had created a good amount of the language, mostly forgot about it, then decided to come back to conlanging. I had never come up with a name with it up until then, when I registered it here and decided to call it Nazule. I also decided to revamp the language and changed my goals, making Nazule the synthetic language it is today.
Also I wrote this on 2 entirely different days weeks apart (specifically seperated between the "Few verbs as possible" and "After quite a while" sentences) so yeah.
