The Lingua Sistemfrater or Frater is a planned language with a vocabulary that was formed from international words, mainly from European languages. The language consequently follows the isolating structure of language , which was borrowed mainly from Asian languages.
This language was proposed by the Vietnamese Pham Xuan Thai in the book Frater (Lingua Sistemfrater): The Simplest International Language Ever Constructed in 1957 . Paul O. Bartlett designed a second version with Frater2 in 1997.
alphabet
The language uses the following 18 letters:
a, e, i, o, u
b, d, f, g, j, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, t
grammar
Following the example of the type of isolating languages common in Asia ( Chinese , Vietnamese ), all of the Frater's words are immutable. The grammatical connection results solely from the order of the words. At the same time, words in the sense of different parts of speech, i.e. H. used like a verb, noun, or adjective. Compare in English: a tall man - a tall man vs. to be a boat - a boat man .
Examples
- "Dom mi juge maga plus ot ni"
- (house my being big more of yours - my house is bigger than yours)
- "Biblo abe plas epi mensa"
- (book space on the table - the book is on the table)
- «Si nis desir obten asista ot Dio, eteks lebanauto»
- (if you wish to get help from God, forget self-love - To get God's help, less self-love)
