Apriori language

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An a priori language is a constructed language with a completely newly developed vocabulary and its own grammar . This means that no existing terms from other languages ​​are used as a basis. The grammar is also not based on that of an existing language.

In the planned language classification according to Moch, a distinction is made between a priori language, a posterior language , which represent the opposite of the a priori language, and mixed languages.

Examples of a priori languages

  • Solresol is a non-philosophical a priori language on a musical basis
  • The Klingon language contains a completely redesigned vocabulary
