bac - Conlang Profile	Advanced
Language Name bac Language Author Matthew Butt Year Began 1997 Site bac Broken Link No Site Language English Language Type personal language Uniqueness Bac was originally designed to be a language which did away with the polarities of many natural languages (all that I was familiar with at the time). The verb has no objects, and -- at least to begin with -- neither positive nor negative was implicit in any word. It is striking in forming single clauses with multiple main verbs and is thus highly idiomatic to an Indo-European language speaker. Language Sources Scots Gaelic, Arabic, Chinese, Ancient Greek, Sanskrit. Design Principles Logical (if not simple) phonology. Multiple derivational rules with hyperproductive roots and very distant meanings being reached very rapidly (e.g., |selb| "red", |esb| "heart"). Unusual syntactic rules which nevertheless should produce sentences understandable with a small level of knowledge Interest Of Others Interaction on the CONLANG list has produced some feedback.
