About Lingua Sistemfrater

Image
  LINGUA SISTEMFRATER, "Brotherhood language," was invented in 1957 by Vietnamese linguist Pham Xuan Thai. It was made to be a very easy international language. The vocabulary contains about 1000 word roots. The words have a very broad meaning; for example, the word optik  means both "eye" and "see." Other words can be made by combining the word roots. Opposites are formed with -ne ; for example, fasil  means "easy," fasilne means "difficult." The result is that the language can be learned very quickly. The alphabet has only 18 letters: ABDEFGIJKLMNOPRSTU. Vowels are pronounced as they are in most languages. The only consonant pronounced differently from English is the J; it sounds like the letter Z (a French J should be close enough as well). Grammar is simple as well. Sentence order is subject, verb, object. Words that describe other words come after those words. A dictionary and the 12 rules of grammar can be found at the official we...
