Iţkuîl

"On the contrary, I think it may turn out that
this rugged mountain range trails off at some point."

Iţkuîl is a constructed human language marked by outstanding grammatical complexity, expressed with a rich phonemic inventory or through an original, graphically structured, system of writing.

The language’s author, John Quijada, presents Iţkuîl as a cross between an a priori philosophical language and a logical language designed to express deeper levels of human cognition overtly and clearly, yet briefly. The many examples from Quijada’s original grammar show that, in the general case, a message would take significantly longer to explicate in a natural language than in Iţkuîl.

Quijada deems his creation too complex and strictly regular a language to have developed “naturally”, but nonetheless a human-accessible language useful for general conversation and literature. No person is known to be able to speak Iţkuîl fluently; Quijada, for one, does not.

The approximate translation of iţkuîl is “an idea/fantasy of a complete purposeful system of complementary speech elements”, or simply “an imaginary language”.

Da, sunt încă aici

Altfel vezi viaţa cu un sandviş în stomac, o ţigară în gură, o cafea în mână şi un gram de haşiş în buzunar.
Apropo, nu are nimeni o foiţă?
