Free TNIL is the working title of a community driven conlang inspired by John Quijada’s Ithkuil. It includes a refactoring of the category system developed by Mr. Quijada.
See the design goals file for more information.
Goals for the language (in no particular order and subject to community review):
- expressiveness,
- unambiguity,
- semantic productivity,
- density,
- detail.
Like other Philosophical/Ithkuilic languages, Free TNIL consists of a number of abstract categories marked morphologically on specific word-types. This document outlines the categories of the language. Morphology awaits the completion of the categories document.
This project is an experiment in computer-aided language development, with a twist. In addition to the usual tables of affixes and category values, these documents will contain programs for encoding and deciphering its text. The end goal of this project is not only the specification of a language, but also an implementation of it.
Contributions and bug-fixes are welcome, and anybody may contribute. See here instructions.
