Language Name Curco Language Author Pablo Flores Year Began 1999 Site Curco Broken Link No Site Language English Site Author Pablo Flores Language Type fictional language Uniqueness It's a typical sample of inflecting SOV languages, but it's different from the rest of my languages in that it's derived from another one, with a lot of carefully studied changes. Curco is a bastard child of Draseléq , where the baroque exuberance of the parent language have crashed against a new a much more simple lingua franca, Ciravesu , showing pidginizing tendencies. It's the only language I've made that is derived from another full-fledged constructed language. Language Sources Latin influenced its spelling and, during a certain stage, its stress pattern. Japanese played a part in its syntax. But most things came right from Draseléq. Design Principles I wanted a language that sounded beautiful and strong, avoiding the harshness that Draseléq is fond of sometimes, so I simplified the phonology, merging consonant clusters and diphthongs. I also wanted to create a grammar that was different from the parent language and 'solved' some of its 'problems' (things I didn't like too much and couldn't change in Draseléq). Finally, I wanted to witness, linguistically speaking, the crash of two strong, regal languages, and how the resulting bits and pieces recomposed themselves. Interest Of Others There are no people involved but me. Curco hasn't had much publicity.
