Hala modj ena! I wanted to share Limingo, an artificial language I’ve been working on.
I am Korean high school student; so, the grammar might be affected by my language; Korean.

It is designed as an international auxiliary language (Auxlang) for knowledge sharing, daily conversation. My goal was to create a simpler alternative to Esperanto.

1. Phonology & The Dual-Layer System

While the language permits a broader, natural phonetic inventory for vocabulary roots to keep them recognizable, it enforces a strict minimalist constraint on its morphology:

2-a The Grammatical Core: Only open syllable contained with

• 7 First Consonants (k, n, t, r, m, p, s)
• 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u); contained with j (short i) and w.
• 4 Final Consonants; (nasal*, s, f, l), It makes a sound permanently.
• *nasal consontants (n, m, ŋ) are considered as a single type of consonant, written as "n"

are allowed to appear in grammatical affixes and inflections.

2-b. Grammar & Free Word Order

• Free Word Order: Syntactic roles are determined entirely by final vowels and specific inflectional suffixes.
• The Benefit: because these suffixes only use the 7-consonant core, language learners can instantly distinguish between the radix and its grammatical function, no matter how complex the vocabulary gets.

2-c. Grammar Fuctional Particle

Most parts of speech are determined by vowels

• -a: Nouns and interjections {Kana = me (나)}
• -e: Predicates (observed by whom other than the narrator) {ex: moge = eat (먹다)}
• -o: Predicates (what the narrator observed or felt) {ex: bene = good (좋다)}
• -i: Adjectives {ex: modi = every (모든)}
• -u: Conjunctions {ex: otu = very (아주)} {ex: nu = and (그리고)}

these 5 vowels are symbolic, but 4 Final cons. can be attached to the very end of the word.
Exception: monosyllabic word is just a grammatical vocabulary (not following) the five-vowel rule.

3. Origin of the Radix (Root of Word)

I tend to include vocabulary from Latin, English, native Korean words, etc.

4. Examples

Kana / tos mogo / modi / al mandua / nu /
tos goro / otu palu.
= I / ate / all / mandus / and / walked / very fast.

Hala modj ena! I wanted to share Limingo, an artificial language I’ve been working on.
I am Korean 16-years-old high school student;
so, the grammar will be usually affected by my language; Korean.

It is designed as an international auxiliary language (Auxlang)
for knowledge sharing, daily conversation, and musical lyric translation.

My goal was to create a simpler alternative to Esperanto
—a language where the Subject-Verb-Object relation is instantly clear.
Think of it as a "Grammar Bowl":

• 1. The Bowl (Grammar): A super simple shell that holds the sentence together. No gender, no honorifics, and no noun endings changing all the time.
• 2. The Content (Words): As the grammar shell handles the rules, words stay clear and easy to recognize.

It’s simple, light, and made for smooth communication!

While the language permits a broader, natural phonetic inventory for vocabulary roots to keep them recognizable, it enforces a strict minimalist constraint on its morphology:

The Grammatical Core: Only open syllable contained with

• 7 First Consonants (k, n, t, r, m, p, s)
• 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u); contained with j (short i, sound like y, /j/, w)
• 4 Final Consonants; (nasal*, s, f, l), It makes a sound permanently.
• *nasal consontants (n, m, ŋ) are considered as a single type of consonant, written as "n"

are allowed to appear in grammatical affixes and inflections.

2. Origin of the Radix (Root of Word)

I tend to include vocabulary from Latin, English, kanjis, native Korean words, and Japanese, etc.

tos gore / oto palo.
= I / ate / all / mandus / and / walked / very fast.
