	Oligosynthetic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oligosynthetic (from the Greek ὀλίγος, meaning "few, little") is a hypothetical designation for a language using an extremely small array of morphemes, perhaps numbering only in the hundreds, which combine synthetically to form statements.
		The chief difference between a polysynthetic and an oligosynthetic language is the total number of morphemes, which for the latter would be much smaller.
		The fact that no existing language, living or dead, has been demonstrably shown to exhibit oligosynthetic properties has led some linguists to regard true oligosynthesis as impossible (or at any rate, wildly impractical) for productive use by human beings.

		One word expresses the idea that would be conveyed in an entire sentence in a non-polysynthetic language.
		Oligosynthetic languages are a theoretical notion created by Benjamin Whorf with no known examples existing in natural languages.
		Whorf proposed that Nahuatl was oligosynthetic, but this has since been discounted by most linguists.

		Nova would be oligosynthetic, originally the goal was 400 morphemes, now there are still less than 1000, from which all other words are created or modified.
		Much of what will be said here will be reiterated at greater length in individual pages but this is intended as a quick overview.
		Nova is an oligosynthetic language, which interprets and describes the world as a series of events which are subject to various degrees of control by those involved in them.

	Ygyde Language
		Ygyde is an oligosynthetic language that crams record number of different meanings into two letters long morphemes.
		Almost all the words of the oligosynthetic languages have compound words defined in such a way that their meanings can often be guessed from the meanings of their morphemes.
		Kali-sise is also an oligosynthetic language, and the only one that is as easy to learn and pronounce as Ygyde.

		Less well known, but important, are his contributions to the study of the Nahuatl and Maya languages.
		He claimed that Nahuatl was an oligosynthetic language (a claim that would be brought up again some twenty years later by Morris Swadesh, another controversial American linguist).
		Regarding Maya, he focused on the linguistic nature of the Mayan writing, claiming that it was syllabic to some degree (a claim that has been proven right by Linda Scheele et al.

		Philosophical languages are based on philosophical ideas about thought and language.
		Oligosynthetic languages have no more than a few hundred morphemes.
		Most of their vocabulary is made of compound words coined from these morphemes.

		For the rest, you are confusing things even more by adding philosophical languages and oligosynthetic languages to the mix.
		Some philosophical languages are neither taxonomic nor oligosynthetic, though perhaps most of them fit one of those categories (at least if you define "oligos" broadly enough to cover languages like Ithkuil and Lojban with >1000 roots, and aren't too particular about the "synthetic" part).
		There does seem to be a bias towards taxonomic and oligosynthetic languages and against diagramatic, circuit, network, pictogram and schematic languages in much of the literature.

	Oligosynthetic language - Langmaker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		An oligosynthetic language is one which features a highly minimalistic set of roots from which all words are constructed.
		Compounding and derivational morphology are common methods such languages use.
		Examples of oligosynthetic languages include Sona, aUI, Ygyde, Kali-sise, and Vuyamu.

		Of these, 630 end in on open syllable.
		The language will probably be oligosynthetic, so the amount of mono- and disyllabic words will clearly be enough.
		Stem boundaries are clearly marked for their function by the sandhi rules, so no additional morphemes are used to mark boundaries between words.
