LFN

Lingua Franca Nova (LFN ) is a constructed language. LFN was developed by C. George Boeree. Starting point and inspiration was the pidgin language Lingua Franca (Italian for " Frankish language "), a trade and transport language that became widespread in the Middle Ages in the Mediterranean.

Portrait language

Supreme design principles are: phonemic spelling, aesthetics, harmony, simple and logical grammar.

Lingua Franca Nova placed between Esperanto ( simple grammar ) and Interlingua (according to the so-called " naturalists " natural vocabulary). Result should be naturalness compared to Esperanto and regularity compared to Interlingua.

Phonemic

LFN is no exception phonemic noted, the principle of one letter, one sound following.

The alphabet used 21 letters of the Latin alphabet, alternatively, LFN is written with the Cyrillic alphabet.

Vocabulary

LFN lexically based on five Romance languages ​​: French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Catalan. Catalan is consulted only for cases in which the major Romance languages ​​differ greatly in the vocabulary.

Grammar

The grammar is based on the grammar of creoles:

  • Periods are expressed by particles, numerous auxiliary verbs are used.
  • There are no gender- specific articles or personal pronouns.
  • A Verb can, as is, be used as a noun. An adjective can be used the same way as a noun. The adverbs and adjectives are identical.
  • The word order is restrictive.

The cat lurking on the railing. A torn cloth, once wound around a rod in the game, stands out in the wind. I have arrived. Who will see me? Who is waiting behind the door of the kitchen? Smoke coming from the chimney, the coffee for dinner is cooked. If you secretly, you feel at home? I do not know, I 'm very insecure. In my Father's house there is but cold piece stands next piece, as if each busy with his own affairs, which I have partly forgotten, partly never knew. What can I do them, I am them and I was also the Father, the old farmer's son. And I do not dare to knock on the kitchen door, only from a distance, I listen, I listen only from a distance standing, not so that I could be surprised when eavesdroppers. And as I listen from afar, I erhorche nothing, just a slight shock watches I hear or think maybe just to hear him over from the early days. What else is happening in the kitchen, is the secret of sitting there, she true to me. The longer one hesitates before the door, the stranger is you. How would it be if now someone opened the door and asked me something. If I then do not even like one who wants to keep his secret!
