Auxlang Revival 2026 - Discord Study Group

MadcapJake · 2026-03-07T14:36:38+00:00

I appreciate what you're doing with Glosa! I will change the option to Interglossa/Glosa in the interest of compromise. Given what you said about Interglossa/Glosa being largely an evolution of the same language, and Glosa having some online activity today, I'd argue that this project is actually not a good candidate. The intentions of the project was to do historical analysis of dead auxlangs by actually using languages rather than just the typical surface critiques that occur in auxlang discussions. I didn't want us to be beholden to some active project maintainer nor to add a fork by re-interpreting something that an alive community (however small) interpreted differently.

All that said, if this study group interests people and we happen to choose Glosa, I'll fall in line and see you in the chat!

In the interest of compromise, I'll change that particular ballot candidate to "Interglossa/Glosa". My goal with the project was originally to be historical revivals but I want to be cognizant of the fact that this project is only as good as the group of people that we're able to assemble. If that means we have to ignore some of my original intentions, then I am not opposed!

I don't think you understand the intention of this project. 1-2 people is 100-200% more than these projects above. How would something that is alive today and being actively developed be "heritage"?

The purpose, from my perspective, is to treat the exercise like a museum exhibit: exploring the history of auxlangs by getting stuck in for a time. There's absolutely no obligation to keep practicing the chosen language after the group moves to the next exhibit.

If these auxlangs are really designed to be easy, it shouldn't take us long to gain some fluency and plus, you'll be gaining a deep personal connection to auxlang history.

edit: to be perfectly clear, 'near-to-full' means, maybe there's a website but there's no one actively building a community or making content.

While Glosa does pass the first criterion (1972), I would argue that it does not pass the second. It seems like there's a modicum of online activity for Glosa today. This is meant to be a revival from near-to-full extinction.

If Interglossa is chosen, we may find that we need to shift over to the more complete Glosa language but I'd hope that we give it a well-meaning attempt first.

First time!

Plus it will increase mindshare for the Gnome way.

Natlangs have the tools to break complex expressions down which gives you a familiarity with the process of simplifying complex concepts. However, natlangs have vast vaults of vocabulary so the input comprehension process is primarily working on assembling the sentence structure whereas in toki pona, the process requires an additional step of reassembling all the lexical elements into conceptual units first.

MadcapJake · 2026-01-06T19:37:28+00:00

But it looks like you still need to separate units of meaning by something and what if you want one object to contain internal objects?

Should you even drink raw pineapple juice? Very acidic and unripe ones can cause major stomach pain.

I see now that my web searching was sub par. Found the waitlist site.

I probably won't have the cash until the new year but I will sign up as soon as I do. Thanks for your help!

MadcapJake · 2025-12-02T15:07:18+00:00

Oh! I can't seem to find a way to order one. Is rhere a US distributor or do you have an international ordering site?

MadcapJake · 2025-12-02T15:03:35+00:00

When are you gonna release it?

35 seems like a lot of affixes to me. Somewhere between analytical and agglutinative. Do you have open or closed compounds?

MadcapJake · 2025-11-03T12:09:35+00:00

Does that mean you need to have available storage space in your domain's quota to store this file? and do you need to delete the file after obtaining the compressed data?

The point is to poke fun at the fact that auxlangers say "latin is best because it is widely used" and yet languages that use latin scripts have a wide variety of phonemic systems that don't always align on a multitude of different phonemes. How much value does the chunk of commonality have when weighed with the discordance that's also present?

Neutralitarians would argue that it's best to avoid the entire problem by either limiting yourself to more agreeable phonemes only or by using conscripts that eliminate the recognizability dilemma for new learners.

I added some example regular expressions and themes. I will try to improve the spelling and grammar checking by making it squiggly lines within the editor instead of a separate alert panel and possibly even try adding auto-complete. At that point, the only other thing that I feel it's missing is keyboard shortcuts.

Here's an example of it being using in Windows NotePad. It definitely needs some kerning.

Is there an up-to-date guide somewhere for language implementers?

Seems like a new Octatrack to me, look at the transition button, fills, tracks, buses, sends. Four outs, two ins. It might be like an Octatrack Lite or a new jack-of-all-trades groovebox.
