Langugu

Langugu was designed to be the easiest language to learn for the average human. Since English is the most studied language, almost all words are directly derived from English using a simple and predictable algorithm. This assures minimal time wasted into memorization, and immediate readability for non speakers.

The vocabulary of a learner is never limited by some sort of "creator authority" from the author since anyone can import any word from English using the algorithm. (Although using the word already in use by the community is preferred to be understood.) The userbase owns the language.

The grammar is largely taken from Esperanto, but is very simplified. What works well was kept, what does not or is redundant was replaced. Like Esperanto, Langugu is agglutinative. So instead of learning English words such as skolu (school), you can use and understand word-root combinations like lernplasu (learn-place).

Langugu has evident part-of-speech marking with the last vowel of each word: The language (as a design project) is finished and stable since almost a year. No "breaking change" will happen, that means you can learn Langugu now and your knowledge won't become obsolete. For example, a word-root can be added, but not removed.
 * -u for all nouns
 * -i for all modifiers (an adjective if placed before a noun, otherwise an adverb)
 * -a for verbs
 * -e to reverse the direction of verbs (the object becomes the subject)
 * -o for prepositions and all other words

The initiator of Langugu decided to limit the number of arbitrary decisions to the minimal so consensus and acceptation is easier to achieve. Word classes are not closed. There is no arbitrary number of inflections. Anything that relates to nouns (number, definiteness...) and verbs (mood, tense, aspect) are expressed by modifiers (-i), and anyone can create modifiers adding -i to an existing or new word-root.

No rule should be added in unscientific artistic gamble. Any new rule within the language have to appear naturally first in the usage of the Langugu-speaking community.

Langugu does not pretend to be perfect, that can't be proven since scientific data in interlinguistics is lacking. But Langugu holds some innovative hypothesis on how an easy auxiliary language could work.

Speaking community
A designed language is a human language only if it is spoken. Please consider joining the Langugu speaking community in Telegram so our adventure will help build even better auxiliary languages in future generations.

Phonology
There is no stress rule discovered within the speaking community yet. If the spoken language is not clear enough without a stress rule, it will emerge naturally within the speakers. Only if one is naturally adopted by a majority, it will be documented.

b d f g h k l m n p s t w y r v z
They all can be pronounced like in English. That means: However:
 * They are pronounced like in the International Phonetic Alphabet, with the exception of y.
 * y is pronounced like j, like in yoyo.
 * r can be pronounced like all local variants of r in the world. Do the one you prefer.
 * r can also be pronounced like l
 * v can be pronounced like b
 * z can be pronounced like s

a e i o u
They all can be pronounced similarly to IPA / Spanish / Italian / Esperanto
 * a as in ah
 * e  as in men
 * i  as in fear
 * o  as in cold
 * u  as in tombs

Helping ə
A schwa ə can be pronounced between two consonents in case of trouble pronouncing consonent clusters.
