Proslava - Conlang Profile	Advanced
Language Name Proslava Language Author George ( Juraj ) Doudy Year Began 2002 Site Proslava Broken Link No Site Language English Language Type international auxiliary language Uniqueness Proslava contains major features common to most Slavic languages, such as Perfective/Imperfective aspect dichotomy, word order and indefinite article relation, basic gender agreement, common root ablaut changes, common word stock. It is mostly based on Russian, Slovakian, Slovenian, and Serbo-Croatian-Bosnian languages as the most conservative ones. With all that, Proslava is greatly reduced and simplified so that it can serve as a great introduction to Slavic languages for all non-Slavic speakers, and as a possible means of communication between different Slavic nations if they choose it over English or Chinese as lingua francas. Language Sources Plattduusch, Afrikaans, Letzemburgisch. Design Principles Be as close to real parent languages as it possible in terms of syntax, word-building, usage, feel and sound. If compared to other artificial languages, Proslava is not intended to replace any live language, since live languages are the cornerstone and heart of a nation, the foundation and most conservative part of a nation's spirit and culture. When a language (a real one) dies - a culture disappears. And that's the reason why language surrogates like Esperanto and others fail: because they were built to replace natural languages. Proslava's goal is different - to help other people learn Slavic languages, literatures and cultures. So, Proslava is not a language per se; it is more of a Introduction into "Slavistic" with a little bit of fun. Interest Of Others Yes, this language is designed to be people-friendly and people-oriented. Actually, that's the essence of any human language.
