Vötgil is a reduced form of my older constructed language. Every word contains exactly three letters. For example: "Fam" (family), "Vim" (important), and "Nos" (notice). Vötgil contains no antonyms, and instead uses the descriptor "Vöt" to invert the meaning of a word. "VötHap" (anti happy) means sad, "VötByf" (anti before) means after. The lexicon is minimalistic; more complex ideas can be expressed with several words. "SmeGon" (smell organ) means nose; "LanBum" (land bump) means hill. The alphabet consists of grayscale elements in a compact grid. The small word list, simple grammar, familiar words, and efficient writing system should make Vötgil desirable for learning.
Globasa is the product of an elaborate thought experiment. It envisions the linguistic outcome of a hypothetical scenario whereby 1,000 people from around the world are randomly selected to permanently inhabit an island. What would the community's language look like within three generations? This is Globasa's guiding vision.
