About Boknil
- Info will be added as soon as I'm finished with the vocabulary of this conlang (the vocab will contain much more words than I've expected... over a good 5,000,000 generated words derived from over a thousand of root words...) -
Apr 19 2020 update: despite the fact that this project has been on CWS for a long time, I will be finally doing what has to be done and start working on the conlang properly.
last description update: Apr 29 2020
The main goals of the language are:
- to have as much root words similar and/or resembling of those from:
-- today's living languages
-- protolangs
-- and other various conlangs, auxlangs
- to have a straight forward grammar structure (fun fact: the initial idea behind Boknil's grammar was to base it upon Volapuk's grammar, but with some changes by me, lol)
- to have a simple sentence/word structure
- to make it easy to learn for everybody, but sound diverse at the same time like Hungarian, Turkish and Georgian do for speakers of mainstream languages of the world
- to make the orthography as formal and clean as possible, as in:
-- no hanging letters (y, g, j, p, q) so most minuscule letters will be represented in small caps
-- no over usage of diacritics whatsoever, so there'll be some special letters taken outside of Latin or historical Latin letters
- to have a word/root structure that outputs words as slim as possible, and what i mean by that is to craft words with as less letters as possible
