Re: [Latejami] engelang

Thanks Veoler:

 

I am also a fan of naturalistic a priori design. There seems to be plenty of room under that heading for variation across conlangs and within a given conlang.

 

 

 

I hope we can continue this conversation.

 

I like discussing conlang... stuff, comparing notes and sharing information.

 

Too many of the forums are about bickering.

 

If I was interested in pointless shouting matches and petty one-upmanship, I could have stayed married.

Hi.

No, "engelang" means "engineered language", which could be either a
postetori or a priori, but, I assume, more likely a priori. Examples
include Lojban, Ithkuil and Latejami.

With "naturalistic" I meant ones that works the same way as natural
languages do, and conform to the pink stuff in our heads, and Latejami
is a naturalistic engelang. Lojban and Ithkuil, on the other hand, is
not naturalistic ones.
