In the News (Tue 2 Dec 08)

  
  A Philosophical Grammar of Ithkuil, a Constructed Language
To those readers familiar with the history and art of fictional language construction Ithkuil is a cross between an a priori philosophical language and a logical language.
Ithkuil represents the culmination of over twenty-five years of personal effort toward creating such a language.
The Ithkuil script used in the examples and detailed in Chapter 11 may be used and modified by others for their own private, non-commercial use, provided the end product attributes this author and website as the inspirational source.

Ithkuil is a philosophical language and was designed by John Quijada.
Ithkuil word-formation utilizes an array of principles from cognitive psychology and cognitive linguistics, including prototype theory, radial categorization, fuzzy logic and semantic complementarity.
In July, 2004, Ithkuil was described in an article entitled "The Speed of Thought" by Stanislav Kozlovskiy in the Russian-language popular science magazine "Komputerra" which apparently has a readership of about 50,000 persons.

Bio: John Quijada is the creator of Ithkuil, a philosophical language he worked on over the course of 25 years (before any internet or any realization on his part that there were other conlangers in the world besides Tolkien, Ursula LeGuin, and Christian Vander).
Ithkuil has gained a fair degree of notoriety among conlangers and others since its debut on the Web two years ago.
Ithkuil is particularly popular in Russia after being featured in a Russian-language popular science magazine article; in fact, one fan has recently completed posting of a Russian translation of the Ithkuil website.

 Garrett's Links to Logical Constructed Languages
Ithkuil is a cross between an a priori philosophical language and a logical language.
It is by no means intended to function as a “natural” human language - it exists as an exercise in how human languages could function, not as human languages do function.
Ithkuil is an idealized language whose aim is the highest possible degree of logic, efficiency, detail, and accuracy in cognitive expression via spoken human language, while minimizing the ambiguity, vagueness, illogic, redundancy, polysemy (multiple meanings) and overall arbitrariness that is seemingly ubiquitous in natural human language.

 List of derivation methods - Conlang
The purpose of this page is to collect a fairly comprehensive list of derivational morphology methods (e.g., affixes) which can be used to derive more vocabulary from existing roots.
Several existing conlangs have extensive derivational morphology methods (e.g., Volapük, Esperanto, Ithkuil, Ladekwa, and many others), but as far as we can tell there is no comprehensive list comparing all their affix inventories, those of natural languages, and other possible ways to derive more words from roots.
Good sources would include the Ithkuil site, the Ladekwa site, the gjâ-zym-byn site, a list of Esperanto affixes, and ditto for Volapük and Ido.
