About Nazule
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!).
