Latino sine flexione ( LSF) (Latin without inflections ) is an international language that was developed in 1903 by the Italian mathematician Giuseppe Peano.
Portrait language
The language is, as the name suggests, a form of Latin without the complicated flexion (bending ), the vocabulary remains the same.
Peano explained his language in the article De Latino sine Flexione, auxiliaries Lingua International ( About the Latin without diffraction, an international auxiliary language ). In it, he argues, universal auxiliary language is unnecessary because it already give Latin as a universal language. Peano began his article on Latino sine flexione in normal Latin, then allowed to gradually all inflections away until the end of the article was to fully read in Latino sine flexione.
The language was later also called interlingua, but should not be confused with Interlingua ( Interlingua / IALA ). In contrast to Interlingua / IALA not own a dictionary is used for Latino sine flexione, satisfies a dictionary of Latin and the rules for the derivation of the LSF words. In addition, the classical Latin vocabulary can be supplemented by terms of modern Romance languages .
By 1950, numerous, mainly scientific publications (approx. 3,000 pages) were written in Latino sine Flexione. Latino sine Flexione is one of the few planned languages that actually were applied. LSF was indeed largely replaced by Interlingua / IALA, but is repeatedly discussed as an example of a successful simplified version of Latin.
Grammar
The nouns are derived as follows from the form of the Latin genitive singular.
Latino sine flexione knows neither certain nor indefinite article. The nouns are not inflected or differed by gender. The plural of nouns is formed by adding- s.
The root form of verbs is obtained by swabbing the infinitive -r. The tribe is also the present tense and the imperative. The verbs are not inflected. Example: me ama ( I love), te ama ( you love ), illo ama ( he loves ).
The past tense is not formed morphologically, but by prepending signal words such as " heritable " (yesterday) or " in praeterito " ( in the past).
The adjective forms are derived from the Latin form of the neuter nominative singular. When this control to - order, is in Latino sine flexione -o thereof; this ends in-e, this shape is maintained. In all other cases, the same rules apply as for nouns.
Examples
"Latino in international lingua it occidente de Europa from imperio romano de tempore, by toto medio AEVO, et usque in scientia ultimo Seculo. Seculo it Vigesimo primo que non 've lingua commune. Hodie quasi omne auctore scribe in proprio lingua national, id it. Plure in lingua neo- latino, in plure germanico in plure Slavo, in nipponico et alio Tale multitudine de linguas in labores de interest commune ad toto humanitate Constitute magno obstáculo ad progressu. "
" Latin was an international language in Western Europe since the time of the Roman Empire, through the entire Middle Ages, and in science until the last century. The 20th century is the first that has no common language. Today, virtually every author writes in his own national language, that is mostly in neo-Latin languages in Germanic languages , in Slavic languages , in Japanese language and others. In this way, the set of languages at work in the common good of all mankind a great obstacle to progress dar. "
