About Kaloshwan
Kaloshwan (natively K̆á'ós̆tu) is a polysynthetic Englang that is mostly designed to perform in a certain setting: video games. The simple syllable structure is able to be pronounced by the complex articulation abilities possessed by text-to-speech software without being too complex and restricting for human speech, but this language is mostly designed for digital communications with a naturalistic a posteriori lexicon so many people across many cultures can communicate effectively with it. However, do not be deceived by its auxillary appearance. Because of its diversity, it envelops many words and grammatical concepts that are alien to many languages, such as English-y grammar and an expanded European gender system. Articles are very different than in many of the romance languages, for another example.
