Language Name it-Cejdijtung, Ctung Language Author Anthony Lawless, Evan Gallagher, Jan Havliš, Jim Morgan Year Began 1996 Site it-Cejdijtung, Ctung Broken Link No Site Language English Site Author Jan Havliš, Anthony Lawless, Evan Gallagher Language Type personal language Editorial The Penguinean Language has a special particle frame construction and combines German, Icelandic, Norse, Japanese and Welsh with constructed word roots, using a script derived from Coptic. The site features a 250-word lexicon, etymologies, grammar, a primer, sample texts and a unique script. Uniqueness It has special particle frame construction for expression of e.g. cases; it combines German, Japanese, Welsh and constructed word roots and uses script derived from Coptic one. Language Sources Germanic languages (Icelandic, Norse, German), Japanese and Welsh. Recently, there is a tendency to make new words pseudo a posteriori via indirect etymology from words already loaned from these languages to Ctung. Design Principles Ctung was formerly called it-Penginitung or Ptung, as it was language of on-line community called Penguinea. After the community was transformed into Polyphony, Jim Morgan and Jan Havliš decided to continue Ptung on as Ctung. The very basic principles say that verbs come mostly from the Germanic substrate, abstract nouns and philosophical forms from Japanese and other nouns from Welsh. The rest just comes from the aesthetic feelings... Interest Of Others It is nice game, if I may say it so. You can enchant the language with your own visions of world.
