Tyl Sjok - Conlang Profile   Advanced
Language NameTyl Sjok
Language AuthorHenrik Theiling
Year Began2000

Broken LinkNo
Site LanguageEnglish
Language Typepersonal language
UniquenessTyl Sjok has only one open class of words. These words can be regarded as verbs or nouns (and sometimes adjectives); however, they are not specified or understood to have a fixed function. Only translation introduces this distinction. The only grammar rule that combines the words is 'control'. Particles exist for clarifying the sentence structure, but they are all optional. This creates a very simple but extremely ambiguous language that will be a basis for derived languages.
Language Sources(Mandarin) Chinese, Central Pomo; for implementing just the opposite: German, Finnish, Georgian, Inuktitut.
Design PrinciplesGrammar simplicity, total absence of concord.
