I am a psychologist and I want to create a language.

I am a psychologist and rational thinker and I want to create a language. Who wants to participate in the project?. This language has to have two characteristics. This language has to be the easiest to learn, rational, with no exceptions. This language has to have all the sounds of all the other languages in the world. For example in Spanish the sound “sh” of the English word “she” or the word “ship” doesn’t exist. I am spanish and I learnt Spanish, English, Italian and Russian, and to create my language i will use what I have learnt. The easier is to learn the language the better, the more accurate the language describes reality the better. The language will be easy to learn because it is written exactly like it is pronounced, you could read a newspaper in this language like a native speaker without knowing the meaning of any of the words. Each letter or simbol represents a sound. Everytime a letter appears you just have to pronounce the sound that is associated with the simbol. This language doesn’t have the gender masculine or feminine for objects like in Spanish, Italian and Russian. To have to learn the gender of the words makes the language more difficult to learn and doesn’t add meaning. Do you have ideas?.

This language has to have pronouns like for example “he” for a man, “she” for a woman, “it” for an object, another pronoun to indicate a person  or group of persons of not known or not declared sex. Anymore?

This language can introduce words from other languages that adjust to the grammar and rules and become one word more. For example in English there is the word “salt” and the verb “salt” associated with the noun. For example you could say “salt the salad before you send it to the customer”. The verb “salt” means the action associated with the noun depending on the context. For example you could say “police the city to make it safer” or “knife and fork the steak to cut it into pieces”. If a word in Spanish like “siesta” is introduced in the language it is assimilated seemingles. For example you could say “don’t siesta on the couch please”.

This language have a lot of prepositions to indicate time, place, direction, etc. For example you could say “put a bowl of chips by the fryer” or “put a bowl of chips in the fryer” that means in the first case the chips are not cooked and in the second case the chips are cooked in the hot oil of the fryer.

In this language every word has only one meaning. For example in Spanish the word “banco” means “bank” and also “bench” in English. The purpose of having only one meaning for each word is to make it easier to learn. Once you have learnt the meaning of a sound it can only mean one thing. Another example is the word “llama” in Spanish that means “flame” and also “llama”, the animal.

There are words like for example the word “pluma” in Spanish that means feather of a bird or “pen”, instrument to write with ink. Both meanings are associated because originally the feather of a bird or “pluma” was used to create a pen. If one word has two meanings associated with it it is easier to learn than if one word has two meanings totally unrelated like for example “ola” and “hola” in Spanish, that are both pronounced “ola” because the letter “h” is not pronounced or it is soundless, that mean “hello” and “wave” respectively.

Imagine you go to a place and you don’t know the language. How would you communicate?. If the language has no exceptions and everything is said the same way it is easier. For example in English you could say “it is easier to say “difficulter” than to say more difficult” or “it is easier to say “difficult-er” than to say more difficult” or “the easiest is to say “easy-er” and “difficult-er”. No exceptions means “er” is always added to the adjective at the end to express “more than”.

What is easier, to add at the end of a word a suffix or at the beginning of a word a prefix?. Easyer, difficulter or more easy, more difficult?. This language is an inviting language, the easiest to learn and the language with all the sounds of all the other languages to make the language that makes the other languages easiest to learn. Imagine you could pronounce all the sounds of all the languages in the world perfectly like a native speaker because your own language has them. Imagine a language impossible to fail in the exams because it is so easy to learn, with no exceptions. For example you have any verb that is any word and you add at the beginning or at the end a sound to indicate the tense of the verb, to change the meaning of the verb to add information about time.

There are words with a root or origin. For example the word “libro” in Spanish is the root word for “librero”, “librería” or “libreto”. All words have the same beginning that refer to the word “libro”. The words that are created from the word “libro” create a new meaning that is related with the root. “Librero” is a male person who sells books. “Librería” is a place where books are sold. “Libreto” is the text of a musical piece like for example opera. This way similar meanings have similar sounds and is easier to remember. The root is a noun that is also a verb. To create new meaning new sounds are added before or after the root. For example with the word “sell” adding the sound “er” you indicate a person who sells, “seller”. Teach, teacher, firefight, firefighter, build, builder. The sound “er” added at the end of a verb means “the person who do this action”. There are no exceptions in this language so cook, cooker, fish, fisher, and so on so forth. The purpose of this language is to communicate intuitively. If a person who sells fish is a fish monger then a person who sells meat is a meat monger and a person who sells houses is a house monger. Fish seller, meat seller, house seller.

The same way an adjective like slow or fast if added at the end the sound “ly” it means an action has been performed in a way indicated by the adjective. Slowly, fastly, strongly, highly, and so on so forth, and because this language has no exceptions the sound “ly” added to the end of the adjective changes the meaning of the root word the same way always. This language is so easy.  “The riddle was easily solved”. Does the sound “ly” add meaning?. What do you understand if I say “the riddle was easy solved”?. If the sound or the termination is unnecessary because it doesn’t add meaning then it is better if the termination is used to add meaning. 

This language could be as easy as saying “i tall” that means “I am tall” or “the house burn” that means the house burns”. What do you think, is it better or worse?. I put ideas on the table to analyze deeper. A language is something you can not change regularly so it is better to design the structure carefully taking time to not have to make amendments.

I be slow, I bed slow, I will be slow, I have bed slow, I would be slow. Be slow. This could the structure of all the verbs, without exceptions.

Basically the purpose is to create the language you would like to have. Is your language difficult and you fail the exams?, what is difficult and why?, you can modify the language to make it easy.

In this language a sound is associated with a meaning that affects the word it is attached to. For example the sound “un” is used to say “undo” that means to do the opposite. This language is so easy so for all the verbs the rule works the same way. Unmarry, unforget, unput, unclimb. Another prefix is “re” that means do again the action of the verb. For example redo, reread, reresearch, relook and so on so forth without exceptions.

It is easy to create an easy language. No exceptions, make your life easy for yourself. For example if “bottomless” means without bottom according to the rule without exceptions pointless means without point, fearless means without fear, ageless means without age.

A sound has a meaning that changes the meaning of the root word. This easy language is about adding sounds to add meaning. For example the word “impossible” has the root word “possible” and the prefix or sound “im” that means “not or opposite” in English. In this easy language a sound is only used for one purpose. The sound “im” or any other prefix should be uniquevocal and have only meaning to avoid confusion. The sound “no” means not or the negation in English. This easy language is efficient, if already there is the sound “no” to express negation there is no point in using other sounds to express the same meaning. Am I understood?. For example you could say in this easy language “nopossible” that means “impossible” or “nopolite” that means “impolite”.

It’s so easy to create an easy language!. For example there is the word “good” that should be written “gud” to make the language easy. In English there is good, better and best, that in the easy language would be gud, guder, gudest. It’s an idea to analize deeper. Because there are no exceptions the word bad would be written “nogud”. Is bad the same as no good?. Do you understand the same when they say no good and bad?. If they don’t have the same meaning then another sound or prefix could indicate, a prefix to indicate “opposite of”. Do you understand the same when they say bad and opposite of good?. For example in English you could say “the meal i have eaten is the opposite of good”. Because to say “opposite of” is too long then a short prefix or sufix is useful to indicate the same. It could be used the sound “anti”. This way bad would be “antigood”, and the rule applies always. Once you know the meaning of the sound or prefix or suffix then the language is about building meaning. For example if in this easy language you know the adjective “gud” and you know the rule for all the adjectives is adding “anti” to indicate “opposite of” and “no” to indicate negation and “er” to indicate “more of” and “est” to indicate “most of” you already know the word bad. Another example, the word patient, with the easy language is for everything the same, impatient could be said “antipatient”, black could be said “antiwhite”. wise could be said “antifool” or fool could be said antiwise.
