This is the home of the one word language:
==================================
v is a constructed language. The first version of it was created
on April 9th, 2026 by Mimeshrine. The goal of the language is to be as minimalist
as a language could potentially go, while still being able to serve in
very rudimentary communication.
The grammar of the language can be really quickly learnt and
summed up into a couple of points. I will get back to it later.
==================================
Of course, every language like v has its fair share or limits.
For example, one could not express concepts like a sandwhich.
Instead, they would have to say 'this' instead, which in this language is 'v'.
This is because, as I've pointed out beforehand, this is only good for communicating
very basic human needs. Try to use it for complex communication and... actually
you can't. It's literally impossible.
==================================
The phonology rules of this language are... almost nonexistent.
Since there is only one sound in the whole language, which is [v],
[v] may have infinite allophones (pronounciations), such as [b], [z], [o], heck, even [ndmgbv]
(This wasn't originally the case, as the only allowed allophones of [v] were much more limited.)
Also, proper names (like Washington) don't need adaptation and there isn't a defined syllable
structure for native words. (If there was, it would probably be 'C(onsonant)' and/or 'V(owel)' lol)
==================================
Now, onto the heart of all languages, the vocabulary. Without it, no language
is usable, as you would fare better with a great vocabulary but bad grammar
than you would vice versa. Anyway, here is a vocabulary 'list':
*v - this/that, negative, far, to undo
Yes, that was it. No useless words, just one word. It does it ALL.
==================================
There are only a few rules to keep in mind:
1. The word order is always SVO
2. You can choose whichever allophone to use, but you must stick to it.
3. The language is head initial,
4. In speech, you must make it clear where a word (or a compound) ends.
(5. Questions, exclamations, as well as general statements can be identified via tones.)
(6. Punctuations are used just like in English or Hungarian.)
(7. Only proper names are written in majuscule form, non-loanwords are ALL written in miniscule form.)
And now, for the sake of being complete, here is a piece of dialogue about
two people meeting and one of them breaking a vase, with both word-for-word
and regular english translations.
==================================
-vv! - not-far! - hi!
-vv! - not-far! - (DITTO)
-v v? - that (is) bad? - are you okay?
-vv - not-bad/no. - yes/i'm good.
-v vv v. - this not-undo that. - i'mma do this.
-v!!! - negative!!! - DON'T!!!
*v vv...* - *negative not-undo* - *breaking sounds*
-v v... - this bad... - this is bad.
-v, v vv. - negative, this (is) not-bad. - no, i'm fine.
And now you've come to the end of it all. I don't know what you plan on
doing with this language (if anything at all), but if you got this far... THANKS FOR
VIEWING THIS PAGE NEVERTHELESS! (v vv! - this not-bad - you're good)
