About: This site, named “AyBay ConLang” (abbreviated as ABCL), presents the constructed language (conlang) developed and published by Dr. Aydin Baykara in 2022. It is registered in the ConLang Code Registry (CLCR) under the code “qba (long code: art-x-abcl)”, with the official language name AyBay ConLang (ABCL).
Purpose: ABCL is an a priori language, meaning its entire vocabulary has been created from scratch. While many conlangs aim to serve as easy-to-learn international auxiliary languages (IALs) by avoiding irregularities and ambiguities found in natural languages, ABCL offers an additional advantage: it requires roughly half the number of characters compared to English to express the same ideas. This efficiency could, for example, reduce the length of a book written in English by half.
Main Features:
- Partly philosophical and logical, less agglutinative, but fairly inflective and derivative too. Inflectional affixes are suffixes for the tense-aspect only. No stem changes at all. Negation and plurals marked by suffixes also. Clauses carry no special marking. Prefixes are used exclusively for modal verbs, consisting of a single consonant.
- In grammar logical rules are applied sparingly. No case marking for accusative, dative, or locative (similar to Chinese) Compared to most natural languages, ABCL has a simplified and reduced set of tenses, moods, and aspects.
- Each word has exactly one grammatical interpretation, ensuring a high degree of unambiguity.
- Easy learnable. For that, the words are classified into predefined, clearly distinguishable categories (though not highly taxonomic). It includes “evocation bridges” to English equivalents, forming a universal lexicon between Conlang and English for easier memorization (e.g.: make= bam)
- Phonologically, no differences in meaning based on aspiration, shortening, lengthening, and stressing or accenting a phoneme, consonant or vowel. For ease of pronunciation and fluency, diphthongs and consonant clusters within a syllable are generally avoided.
- Words are defined according to phonological schemes for easier learning (C: consonant; V: Vowel): Root Nouns as CVCCV, verbs CVC, adjectives VCV, the arithmetic numerals (digits 1 to 9) CV, geometric numerals (10, 100, 1000, 10000 …) CVC, adverbs VC, conjunctives and prepositions CV. Pronouns have V and VCV. Additionally they are classified into subcategories (e.g., nouns in to “body, animal, social, economy etc”).
- New words are created from root vocabulary using simple rules. A form of reduplication is used to derive noun-gerunds from verbs.(e.g.: write/writing = biv/bivvi)
