Globien Interlingua (星球语) is a constructed language positioning as an International Auxiliary Language (IAL). It's a fusion/combination of the three most popular natural languages: English, French and Chinese.

This newly-created interlingua differentiates itself from others by its special construction method of words: 99% of Globien vocabulary includes an element from Chinese, and that number is 80% for English and 70% for French respectively. This makes its words are very easy to learn and to memorize, and not easy to be forgotten for the 3.5 billion people with background of either English or French or Chinese, almost half the population of the whole world.

Classification and Dialects[]

Globien is a fusion/combination of English, French and Chinese. It uses clear suffixes to distinguish nouns, verbs and adjectives, but only reserves two variations of words: number for nouns and past tense for verbs.

The other morphology rules are more like that in Chinese, including most of the verb tenses, voices, and aspects. Therefor we classify Globien as Fusional-Analytic.

The phonemes are designed clearly separated, thus Globien could be read in different accents either as in English, or French, or Chinese, or others.

Phonology[]

The phonology of Globien is very simple and clear, friendly to almost all peoples from different native language backgrounds.

Consonants[]

There are 19 consonants in Globien. They are:

  • b、p、v、f
  • d、t、l、n
  • g、k、h、m
  • z、c、s、r
  • j、ch、sh

All sounds like those in English, with three exceptions:

  1. Letter c always sounds [ts], which is similar to that in Chinese.
  2. Letter g alone always sounds [g], while [ʤ] uses letter j.
  3. Letter r sounds more like that in Chinese or alveolar trill, or that in English after a vowel (eg. sir).
Consonant phonemes
Labial Alveolar Post-alveolar Velar Glottal
Nasal m n
Stop p b t d k ɡ
Fricative f v s ʦ z ʃ h
Approximant l ɹ

Note that p, t, k are aspirated-voiceless-stop consonants, sounds ph, th, kh respectively. For the non-writen consonants, the corresponding letters are listed below, including two digraphs:

  • [ʦ] = c
  • [ɹ] = r
  • [dʒ] = j
  • [tʃ] = ch
  • [ʃ] = sh

Vowels[]

Globien's vowels are more like French or Chinese, but they are the easiest parts for English speakers too. There are 6 basic vowels:

Front Nearfront Central Nearback Back
High i u
Near-high
High-mid
Mid ə (eu)
Low-mid
Near-low
Low ä

We omit the diacritic signs thereafter to keep simple.

Besides eu[ə], there are 11 other digraphs, including 4 diphthongs and 7 nasal vowels. In together, the all 16 vowels are:

[a]

[e]

[o]

[i]

[u]

ai 

[ai]

ei 

[ei]

au 

[au]

ou 

[əu]

eu 

[ə]

an 

[an]

en 

[en]

on 

[on]

in 

[in]

un 

[un]

am

[aŋ]

In total, there are 35 defined phonemes in Globien, i.e., 19 defined consonants and 16 defined vowels. That includes 22 single letters and 13 digraphs, and all other letter combinations should be read separately in a word.

Phonotactics[]

The structure of all Globien words can be expressed as the following formula:

(C)V + CV + CV + ... + C(V)

where each C could be one or two pre-defined consonants, each V could be one or two pre-defined vowels. When there are two pre-defined consonants or two pre-defined vowels together, as in one C or V above, they are read one-by-one. For example, "eo" is not a pre-defined diphthong, so it's read "[e]-[o]".

Each (C)V combination is one syllable. stress rule is similar to that in music.

Like many other interlinguas, Globien complies with the "one-to-one correspondence rule": One letter/digraph only has one sound; one sound only has one letter/digraph. Note every letter/digraph sounds in every words, no one is silent.

Writing System[]

Globien uses the ordinary Latin letters. Only 22 letters are substantially used in its vocabulary, but the other 4 letters (q, w, x, y) are also reserved for special loanwords, such as people's names.

The names of the consonant letters are all read as their sounds in words, plus an [e] in the front or end, except H and Q which are a little bit different. The names of the vowel letters are all read as their sounds in words. With this standard design, the letter table is much easier to read and memorize.

Grammar[]

The grammar of Globien is very simple. It's a combination of the easiest parts of Chinese and English, and only one formula is needed to describe ALL tenses, voices and aspects.

There are less variations of words in Globien. The only variation of nouns is the plural form -- adding -s at the end; and only one variation for verbs -- adding -ed at the end to indicate pass tense. No variation for adjective.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The editor of the coming part of Grammar (also that of the latter part of Lexicon) STRONGLY suggested readers first skip it and jump to the Lexicon part, because:

  1. All tutorials found put Lexicon before Grammar, and
  2. The editor himself considered Lexicon more basic.

Please come back after you've finished Lexicon.

Predicate[]

The editor didn't understand the word well, but still reserved the title merely because an earlier editor, probably the creator since that user is the one who'd created this page, had left the word here with the comment "(to be finished)" below. Anyone who knows this word and the part of Globien related with it, please finish it.

Inflection[]

Inflection rules will have been fully discussed by the end of Lexicon.

Syntax[]

Syntax here is pretty simple plus extremely similar to that of Engish.

Like, it follows the SVO pattern except that interrogative sentences have their question words advanced to the beginning; short attributive modifiers precede the nouns while long ones follow them; complements are placed at the end yet adverbials have relatively flexible locations, etc..

There're even more features shared: imperative sentences omit their subjects; there also exist there-be sentences ("nar" for "there" and "ez" for "to be" so "Nar ez ..." for "There is/are ..."); and, the most alike, ALL CLAUSES, from adverbial to attributive to noun clauses, appear in Globien and are produced in the very same way as in English.

Therefore, considering most of the readers here English-speaking, I'll just pick several distinctions to discuss.

"Ta"[]

First, there's a pronoun "ta" without any actual meaning, used in the following occasions:

  • Where a subject is needed yet logically none exist; E.g. Ta viam pluz posdi. (It will rain tomorrow. )
  • Where a grammatical subject is needed. E.g. Ta ez un bone idian nat elu studuez chamzo. (I invite readers to translate the sentence as an exercise. )

"Ta" corresponds to part of "it;" the pronoun of the third person, whether lifeless or not, is "lu."

Tenses, Voices and Moods[]

Next, let's talk about tenses, voices and moods, which are expressed not by inflecting verbs but (mostly) by adding independent words:

  1. The words "viam," "vud," "kud," "duad" and "shud" stand for "will," "be willing to," "can," "must" and "should;"
  2. The word "ne" indicates negation;
  3. The word "deja" signifies perfectness;
  4. The word "jen" implies continuousness;
  5. The past and present forms of verbs represent active voice and ez/ed + past participle combinations represent passive voice,

And they're in exactly that order. Note that those modal-verb-like yet actually-classfied-as-adverbs words in (1) don't have past forms since they are adverbs; past tenses are carried by verbs in (5).

I make up this sentence to cover all the points except negation:

-- Mo vud deja jen riezd.

-- I was willing to have been writing.

Lack of Infinitives ("to do")[]

Infinitives, i.e. "to do," don't appear in Globien because it's confusing that something can work either as nouns or as adjectives and adverbs. They're replaced by gerunds and present participles.

The only thing worth mentioning is that Globien has a special sentence pattern: "Ta ez ... tu + gerund phrases" corresponding to "It's ... to do sth.." E.g. Ta ez timi tu aluzoi. (It's time to go. )

Articles[]

When it comes to articles Globien becomes Esperanto in that the universal definite article is "la" and there doesn't exist an indefinite one yet the word for "one" (in Globien "un;" in Esperanto "unu") can be used.

Something Else[]

  • There're no inversion between the subject and the verb, both in emphasizing sentences and in question. In the former you just put whatever you what to emphasize to the front. E.g. Plu mo hatenz. (It's rain that I hate. )
  • Since verbs can't be advanced to the beginning, use "ka" for yes/no questions. E.g. Ka ta jen pluz? (Is it raining?)
  • Exclamations (e.g. "What a day it is!"), tag questions (e.g. "It's been raining for days, hasn't it?") and I-don't-know-what-that's-called questions (Does it rain in Esperantland or in Lojbanistan?) haven't been acknowledged, but I suppose they work.

Lexicon[]

There are four categories of words in Globien: Basic (nouns, verbs, adjectives), Auxiliary (pronouns, preps., conjs. numbers, etc.), Complicated and Cluster.

Most words have a part from English/French word, named the Base, and a part from Chinese named the Rhyme. So a Globien word is always a combination of a Base and a Rhyme, and thus a English/French learner can guess the meaning of a Globien word by the Base, and a Chinese-background learner can guess the meaning by Rhyme. This is the key advantage of Globien, which makes it easy to learn and remember by almost half of the world's population.

One can also determine the form class (noun, verb, adj., or adv., etc.) of a word by it's special ending, as in most constructed languages, but Globien extends this idea to creating the Cluster category -- one can know the brief meaning of word without learn it. This characteristic makes Globien is even easier to learn.

Basic[]

Nouns[]

The standard ending of a noun is -o, but most basic nouns don't use this standard ending -- they just use Rhyme as ending directly.

So a noun form is always Base + Rhyme. Note Rhymes are always vowels.

Example: lunue, means moon, in which lun- as the base is from French word lune (and English word lunar), and -ue as the rhyme is from Chinese word yue. More examples:

Globien word English source French source* Cinese pinyin
metin metal metal jin
vudu wood - mu
akui aqua acqua [Italian] shui
firo fire feu huo
ertu earth terre tu

* Sometimes we also use other Romance languages such as Italian or Spain to replace the position of French for word sources.

You can notice that the end of each Globien word here is the same as the end of its corresponding Chinese pinyin. This happens in most cases, and strongly helps Chinese people to understand and remember the words.

Plural and possession. Plural is noun+j, possession is noun+'s. These two forms can be overlay. For example, Mari's buku, means Mary's book; enfonj's bukus, means children's books.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: All the paragraphs below were NOT written by the creator of Globien or any authority but by one that had learned only the most general and basic part himself one whole year earlier. The following content was mainly based on an offcial overview of the latest version (till January 2024, as far as the editor knew) v0.8. To anyone who finds my probable errors later: don't hesitate to correct them. You (and others) are supposed to know more than me.

Now, with that out of the way...

Verbs[]

The standard ending of a verb is -z. After the -z ending is deprived, the vowel or digraph at the end is the Rhyme. Since Rhymes and endings are in the back of the words, the fronts are Bases. Similarly, Rhymes come from Chinese Pinyin and Bases come from English and/or French.

Verbs have two forms:

  • The present form is the same as the infinitive form, always ending with -z;
  • The past form, on the other hand, is the infinitive form with a -d attached, thus always ending with -zd.

For instance, the Rhyme of "marchouz (walk)" is -ou, which comes from Chinese word zou; its Base comes from English word march and French word marcher. Its past form is "marchouzd."

Note that there're three commonest (and most similar to their counterparts in English) verbs: "ez (be)," "haz (have)," and "doz (do)." Their past forms can be respectively simplified to "ed," "had," and "dod."

About transitive and intransitive verbs: Globien doesn't lay emphasis on the transitiveness or the intransitiveness of a verb. An object may follow directly without a preposition as in Chinese as long as it makes sense. On the other hand, it's also acceptable to add a proper preposition as in English. For instance:

-- Mari aluz (tu) buku stu.

-- Mary goes to the book store.

Where the preposition "tu" (equivalent to to) can be either added or not.

Example words:

Globien word Meaning English source French source Chinese pinyin
tinz to listen (to) listen écouter ting
soz to say say - shuo
duz to read read - du
riez to write write écrire xie


Example sentence:

-- Zit ez Mari's buku.

-- This is Mary's book.

Adjectives[]

The standard ending of an adjective is -e. After the -e ending is deprived, the last vowel or digraph is the Rhyme; after the Rhyme is also deprived, the remaining part is the Base. Note that there might be a consonant between the Rhyme and the ending, which belongs to the Base as well.

For instance, "beile (beautiful)" has its Rhyme, -ei, derived from Chinese word mei, and its DISCONTINUOUS Base, b..l-, derived from English and/or French word belle.

Comparatives: mor (more) / les (less) + the adjective. E.g. haipe (happy) -> mor haipe (happier).

Superlatives: most (most) / lest (least) + the adjective. E.g. lamge (long) -> most lamge (longest).

Attaching -li to an adjective produces an adverb with the same meaning, which means adverbs of this kind, the majority of all adverbs, have -eli as their endings.

Example words:

Globien word Meaning English source French source Chinese pinyin
larje large, big large large da
monde medium (adj.) medium milieum zhong
smiaule small small - xiao
tine tiny tiny petit xi


Example sentence:

-- La chaij haz moche bukuj.

-- The children have many books.

Auxiliary[]

Auxiliary words are those functioning grammatically, each category of which has a limited number. Here we list some main ones.

Pronouns[]

The five personal pronouns:

  • mo: I;
  • vi: you;
  • lu: he/she/it;
  • ilu: he;
  • elu: she.

The six demonstrative pronouns:

  • zet/zej/zer: this/these/here; (Note: It's only here that these three words have E's as their vowels. Both the official word list and the example sentence above in the Verb section use the group "zit-zij-zir." )
  • nat/naj/nar: that/those/there.

Reflexive pronouns: seu-self.

To get other pronouns, use compound words. For instance, moj -- mo + -j -- we, moje -- moj + -e -- our, mojeseu -- moje + seu -- ourselves.

Prepositions[]

Main prepositions:

  • de: of;
  • a: at;
  • in: in;
  • am: on;
  • fron: from;
  • tu: tu;
  • bai: by;
  • vis: with;
  • as: as;
  • aban: about;
  • for: for;
  • zan: than.

Question Words[]

  • ka: whether;
  • kua: what;
  • forkua: for what, why;
  • kuen: when;
  • kuer: where;
  • ki: who, whom;
  • kie: whose;
  • kuich: which;
  • komen: how;
  • kombien: how much. (Note: Like "zet-zej-zer," "kombien" is replaced by "komoche” everywhere else. )

All question words begin with K's (except "forkua" which is for+kua) , to make it easier to memorize them.

Conjunctions[]

Main conjunctions:

  • e: and;
  • or: or;
  • kos: because;
  • dok: so;
  • zen: (and) then;
  • mer: but;

Numerals[]

  • zero: zero;
  • un: one;
  • du: two;
  • tri: three;
  • fua: four;
  • cink: five;
  • sis: six;
  • sep: seven;
  • ok: eight;
  • nof: nine;
  • dek: ten;
  • cento: hundred;
  • kilo: thousand;
  • milo: million.

Complex numbers are made up from these. E.g. 123 should be expressed as "un cento dudektri."

When there are zeroes in the middle not expressed, use "e (and)." This not only accords with Chinese but also is clearer. E.g. 2048 is "du kilo e fuadekok."

Grammatical Adverbs[]

  • si: yes;
  • ne: no, not;
  • suvam: often;
  • osie: also;
  • agai: again;
  • sten: still;
  • onli: only;
  • su: so;
  • tren: very;

and so on...

Some others should have been mentioned above in the Grammar part, so we don't list too many of them here.

All the words above are collectively called auxiliary words. There're only a gross or so, and they're all short, so memorizing them won't be hard.

Complicated[]

Complicated Words include transformed words, derivatives and compound words. Theoretically speaking, memorizing complicated words doesn't require extra effort; you just need to be familiar with the word-constructing rules.

Transformed Words[]

Transformed Words are built from basic words, with their endings modified. As is explained above, most adverbs are transformed from adjectives, and thus fall into this category. In addition, nouns, verbs and adjectives may transform into one another:

Word-construction Rule Meaning of the Transformed Word Example
Noun + -z => Verb to form [noun] fogu (fog) => foguz (to fog)
Noun + -je => Adjective of or related with [noun] nati (nature) => natije (natural)
Adjective + -o => Noun one that is [adjective] june (young) => juneo (youngster)
Adjective +-z => Verb to [adjective] -ify beile (beautiful) => beilez (to beautify)
Verb + -o => Noun the action or product of [verb] -ing riez (to write) => riezo ((piece of) writing)
Verb + -e => Adjective of or related with [verb] -ing kniz (to know) => knize (knowledgeable)

Besides, verbs have three other forms:

  • Attaching -oi produces gerunds.
  • Attaching -oe produces present participles, serving as adjectives and/or adverbs.
  • Attaching -d produces past participles (which look the same as past forms), serving as adjectives and/or adverbs.

(Of course, without any change in meaning, these three forms usually don't appear in dictionaries. )

Note the differences between "verb + -o" and "verb + -oi" nouns that the former can't be followed by an object but can be modified by adjectives and/or articles, while the latter is just the opposite.

The word-transforming rules in Globien are strict and rational, producing words with meaning clear and precise. What's more, even though transformed words and basic ones share the same standard endigs, their whole ending parts rarely overlap due to the clever design of the language, making it easier to recognize the source and part of speech of a word.

Derivatives[]

Derivatives are basic words affixed with affixes, the majority of which are given in Appendix 3.

For example, nouns for those with a certain occupation always end with -eur or -sto, the latter indicating expertism:

  • medikiz (to cure) => medikizeur (doctor);
  • tichauz (to teach) => tichauzeur (teacher);
  • arti (art); => artisto (artist);

Compound Words[]

Compound Words are formed by merging together two or more basic words or derivatives. For instance:

futu (foot) + bou (ball) => futubou (football)

Globien dictionaries (an official and complete version of which hadn't appeared by the time this line was typed) only contain highly-frequent compound words, yet one may create their own ones, which must be hyphenated. For instance, if a word "lightning ball" was needed, that would be "flashan-bou." Widely acknowledged compound words will have their hyphens taken when put into the dictionary.

In fact, complicated words of other kinds can be created by oneself. Various complicated words, with reasonable and plain meanings, will play a vital role in daily and academic communication. It'll be a long time of pratice before part of self-created complicated words are taken into the dictionary in a logical way.

Cluster[]

Cluster words are those describing "very concrete or specific terms (e.g. “brie” or “cobra”), or for jargon words specialized to a narrow field (e.g. “quark")."

(The definition doesn't appear in the overview; however, I found it necessary to define cluster words so I copied it from Section 7, Chapter 4: The Shape Of Words To Come: Lojban Morphology, The Complete Lojban Language, where it's used to define "fu'ivla," literally "copy word.")

Cluster words refer to species, sounds, geographical names and scientific terms. They use special endings to mark their certain sub-categories. Most of them doesn't require special memorizing; all you need to do is to keep in mind a few of the commonest and the special endings. If you bump into a cluster word you don't know, you should be able to the sub-category where it falls by its ending, and needn't be bothered with the specific meaning since it doesn't affect comprehension much. (The editor didn't know the differences between alligators and crocodiles, but it hadn't bothered him yet.)

Here are the main sub-categories with their endings:

  • Animals & Plants: -b for herbs, -p for fishes, -v for birds, -f for insects and worms, -g for trees, -k for mammals. "Peonub (peony)," for example, ends with "-b." Note that the ten commonest animals, namely chickens, ducks, geese, horses, oxen, sheep and goats (considered together as a kind as in Chinese), pigs, dogs, cats, and mice, aren't expressed as clusters but basic nouns.
  • Onomatopoeias: They use -h and their corresponding verbs end with -hz. Note that the H's aren't silent.
  • Geographical Names: -a for continents, -ia for countries and/or regions, -ien for languages. E.g. Afrika (Africa), Zhongia (China), Englien (English language).
  • Scientific Terms: -on for particles, -um for elements. The chemical elements are derived from Latin.

The following texts are extracted from the official overview, with a few modifications.

Appendix 2: Rules to Construct Bases[]

The English and/or French word selected, the general principles will be:

  • That all double consonants merge into one;
  • That single vowels aren't modified (usually), different as their pronunciations in Globien and in English/French may be;
  • That vowel digraphs/clusters are mapped to their nearest sound.
  • That consonants are mapped to their nearest sound.
