About Zlivnyk Zlivnyk is an artificial language built not for any practical purpose, but merely as an artistic exercise in linguistics.
Its goal is to be a theoretically and practically fully usable language built from unique or rare features seldomly or never seen in natural language. Furthermore, it is designed as a thought experiment: as Marxist philosophy asserts that language, as all social and conceptual phenomena, are results of material circumstances, Zlivnyk seeks to explore what a language developed within a socialist society might look like.

To that extent, it is notable that Zlivnyk has:
  • Obligatory classifiers for countable and quantifiable nouns
  • A unique but consistent phonology
  • Extensive pronoun system distinguishing clusivity, formality, solidarity, a 0th person and much more
  • A tripartite morphosyntactic alignment
  • Dependent clauses featuring mandatory opening and closing particles
  • Numerous derivational morphemes
  • An original nonlinear writing system
  • A generalized OSV word order with legal arbitrary variation for emphasis


The language is still in its early drafting stages and will develop over time.
