About Shengdat
Ʃəŋdatdəŋ käispikəʃ ʃiä, Welcome to the Shengdat Page!
ßpøl! Hello! I am Ian and I have set out to create a pretty simple conlang and hopefully auxlang! This simple language is meant to be extremely regular. The language is fusional, with at most four endings being attached onto a verb. Nouns have five basic cases (six if you count not having a case). The language is designed to be extremely regular, and if you can get past learning the relativity simple grammar, the rest is just learning words!
Features
-Simplistic Grammar, using word cases
-Partly A Priori, with other Germanic, Sinitic and Romance roots
-Builds words from affixes
-"Optimistic" language, in having negative words be positive words with a negative affix
-Features taken from many languages to make it easy to learn for many people
-One writing system, IPA based with a few changes
-Two sets of vowels, with no harmony
-NO GENDERS OR AGREEMENT!!!!
-Easy conjugations
-No definite nor indefinite articles
