toki pona pakala pi toki Nipon - とき ほな はから ひ とき ニホン - Japanized Toki Pona

Version 0.1.3


Foreword

Closely examining the phonology of Toki Pona, I cannot unsee the similarities to Japanese, which I had tried to learn earlier while I still had a sizable amount of free time at high school. Therefore I have an urge to pronounce Toki Pona as if it were Japanese. Owing to an elaborate particle system and me naturally placing verbs towards the end since trying to learn German, the grammar deserves also some japanization. So basically I relexify Japanese or maybe Finnish to make it look like Toki Pona, which should aid learning Japanese without having to memorize boatload of kanji.

This is really 4 separate modlangs compiled into 1:

* replacement of phonology and orthography (mostly Japanese-based)

* lexicalization of morphology (mostly Finnish-based)

* replacement of syntax (mostly Japanese-based)

* adding more words (Serbochroatian, Japanese and Finnish)

Writing systems

Like all my conlangs and modlangs and relexes, also this abomination has multiple ways to write it to integrate it into various locales. I believe language learning should not be complicated by having a different script, that's why Westerners think Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic are difficult. No changes were made to the Latin orthography, so it won't be elaborated on. Neither I won't elaborate on phonology in separate chapter, because you can just read about the Japanese one. The Slavic pronunciation has certain specifics as mentioned in the Cyrillic section.

Kana

Writing in kana is the preferred way for aesthetic reasons. Japanese IMEs may put up some resistance, however a regular stupid kana keyboard can be used.

Tokiponists have created many logographic scripts: sitelen pona, sitelen sitelen, various emojis and Unicode symbols. However in my opinion of absolutely zero weight, the most suitable type of script for Toki Pona is a syllabary, mainly because of writing tokiponized proper names, onomatopoeia, and kijete-someting jokes. And given the phonology, phonotactics and relative level of support, the best sylabary turns out to be katakana and hiragana.

Almost every tokiponido brings the ti syllable back, here in the form of chi. The 4 kana problem is mostly avoided because no dakutens. Also je is making some trouble, an exceedingly obsolete symbol needs to be used, in addition to already obsolete we and wi. Due to an additional Toki Pona restriction, e cannot appear in the middle of a word, so it should be safe to replace ye with e. Wo is a bit peculiar even in Japanese, as the once complete w- column got reduced only to wa, and the direct object particle being pronounced o, but at least a modern kana still exists unlike for je. That being said, replacing it with o should also be mostly safe like with je. Wu and yi remain verboten, since they are the same as u and i, and I can't find any hiragana for yi in Unicode, and the one for ye was supposedly a mistake and actually hentaigana (and the one for wu apparently wasn't). For that reason, I've provided hentaigana mappings as an alternative, one for hiragana lookalike, and other one for more simplicity.

In addition, any j- syllable will palatalize any antecedent -i or -n syllable, and any w- syllable will velarize any antecedent -u syllable (not in modern Japanese), optionally causing that j- or w- kana to be written small, and in case of -n syllable, that n turning additionally into ni.

Proper names are written in katakana, or in hiragana within 「」 brackets. Spaces are used. Compounds and agglutinations are written together without spaces. Occasionally, the 1st syllable of a non1st morpheme in a compound may get voiced.

Examples:

やん ソニャ - jan Sonja - Sonja Lang, the creator

りにゃらわ - linja lawa - hair

やんしぇろずり - jan sijelo suli - giant or fat man

あけちわそぜりず𛅐 - akesi waso seli suwi - cute dragon

musi jo li tenpo weka - (pangram)


Cherokee

Another syllabary with a 6 vowel system with 5 traditional vowels and syllabic V, which is apparently some sort of nasal vowel. There is no P or B set weirdly, so had to use the H set. Another alternative would be QU set. Of K set only ka, so had to go with G set. Of T set no to and tu, so had to go with D set.

Cypriot

No true J. No je and ju. Replaced with R column, including unused ji. Ja and jo remain premissible alternatives. Using xa for -n. Is written right to left apparently. Zo looks like the Schutzstaffel sign I've been missing. Let's use that for -n too to make it frequent enough to trigger some commies. For wu use za. That leaves free xe, probably as another -n variant or a virama.

Greek

Quite straighforward due to Tokipona not having too much phonemes. Nevertheless some obscure letters are needed for J and W if they are supposed to be clearly differentiated from I and U. Alternatively Ϊ and Ϋ could be used, but Digamma and Yot look more suitable for pseudo-phonologist aesthetic like the default Latin-IPA.

http://opoudjis.net/unicode/yot.html

If you are biased towards Modern Greek, whose pronunciation changed significantly since Ancient one, you can use Beta turned Vita for W, and Gamma turned Yama for J. Me not, I still read Modern Greek like it were Ancient.

Cyrillic

Cyrillic is special because it has multiple regional variants and special letters for j- syllables. Slavic languages don't typically have W, which has phonetically changed into V to form a pair with the newly discovered F phoneme, outside of -u diphthongs. Also the short vowel I is very hard sounding, Eastern Slavs palatalize almost everything, and in Russian, accent transmutates all vowels.

Mappings into Runic, Coptic, Gothic, Old Italic, Phoenician (hellenized a little), Georgian, Armenian etc. are thenceforth relatively trivial or generally not interesting enough. Lisu/Fraser would look almost the same as Latin.


Hangeul

Might be also an option, but this script is too complex for Toki Pona to fully utilize it.

Bopomofo AKA Zhuyin

Semi-syllabary with built-in syllable codas. An and En have like 4 suitable varians -n -ng -nn -m, but On has -m -ng -nn, In has -nn -m -nnn, and Un has only -nn, so had to make the set consistent, which seems to fit since they are all modified base vowels. True J is missing, had to use probably Pinyin J. Also no W, so had to use V.

Philippinic

Baybayin (Tagalog), Hanuóo, Buhid and Tagbanwa have a relatively small repertoire, which suits Toki Pona well, unlike GeSeL or Neogetmanic. Only problem lies with there being only 2 vowel signs and 3 vowels (unlike Indic scripts which have only 1 vowel carrier). 2 I signs could make an E and 2 U signs could make an O. For naked vowels E and O, either follow the Brahmic model and use A as a base (2nd sign not needed if dedicated forms of I and U are used), or duplicate the sign on the dedicated forms (not to be confused with making that vowel long). Baybayin and Hanunóo have a Pamudpod, which could be used instad of Nga if you pronounce the nasal syllable coda European style instead of Japanese style.

Similar system of vocalization via diacritics can be used with Arabic, which also has only 3 consonants. Hebrew can be approached in the Yiddish way.


Devanagari

This script is also too complex for Toki Pona.

Mappings into Brahmi, Bengali etc. are thenceforth trivial.


Arabic

Like Philippinic languages, Standard Arabic only has 3 vowels, with allophones in 'alef, yeh and waw, and therefore only developed 3 vocalization marks, so it will need to be hacked to support 5 vowels.

Hebrew

Can be mapped to Phoenician if the font supports diacritics, but Phoenicians never used diacritics, they just had all the letters they needed and vowels weren't among them. But in Toki Pona vowels are very important due to both limited phonotactics and not using Semitic root system.

Morphology

There are some clearly noticable patterns that functionally add grammatical categories. This section may appear more similar to Finnish or Slavic languages, while syntax resembles Japanese more closely.

There are 2 models - prefix and suffix - differing only in that they have exactly reverse morpheme order. Prefix order works better when writing poetry and with respect to vanilla Toki Pona adjective order in lexemes (tawamutejanpona), however it may not be as didactically clear. Suffix order clearly demonstrates working of a typical agglutinative grammar (janponamutetawa or pona janmutetawa), however it's not as good for writing poetry. I admit this is clearly inspired from a video about evolving Toki Pona into Toki Pi Kama Ante (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VvSLCnKTeA), where the case morpheme goes at the beginning and number morpheme at the end. Further discussed will mainly be the suffix model.

For backwards compatibility, only core vocabulary is used for morphemes. Also it may get very challenging to separate individual morphemes, so non-core words are recommended for using as a base, like kipisimutenasin. Toki Pona unfortunately doesn't use prefix coding.


Substantives

Each substantive has the following structure: Base-Number-Case. At the borders there may arise phonotactically illegal sequences in vanilla Toki Pona, but this tokiponido uses Japanese phonology, with all it's quirks.


Number:

-0            No explicit number information

-wan          Singular

-tu           Dual

-luka         Handful, Few, 5 

-[number]     Specific number (see Toki Ma numerals)

-kulupu       Ordered whole (GeSeL/HTML ol)

-nena         Unordered whole (GeSeL/HTML ul)

-mute         Plural

-ali          Everyone

-???          Some


Case:

-0            No explicit case information

-en           Nominative

-pi           Genitive

-tawa         Dative

-e            Accusative

-o            Vocative

-insa         Inessive

-supa         

-weka         Ablative

-nasin        Instrumental



Examples:

wasomuteinsa / insamutewaso - in the birds

jankuluputawa - to the community

nasinmutenasin - methodologically

palisalukaweka / wekalukapalisa - without 5 sticks



Adjectives

Each adjective has the following structure: Base-Grade-Case. Often, adjectives are glued to substantives in lexicalized compounds. No-one in the actual community would really split and rearrange janpona into pona jan, let alone ponajoen janwanen.


Grade:

-0               No explicit grade information

-jo/awen/sinpin  Positive

-suli/wawa       Comparative

-sewi            Superlative


For cases see Substantives. Adjectives don't need to necesarilly agree in case, so their declension is optional when attached to a substantive. Lexicalized compounds decline as substantives.


Examples:

sulisulipi - of the bigger one

sewiwanen Ala ponasewi li. - a takbir


Pronouns

Same as Substantives. For summary:


      Singular  Dual    Ordered     Plural

1st   miwan     mitu    mikulupu    mimute

2nd   sinawan   sinatu  sinakulupu  sinamute

3rd   onawan    onatu   onakulupu   onamute

Man   janwan    jantu   jankulupu   janmute

Wh-   semewan   semetu  semekulupu  sememute


janseme - who

ijoseme - what

tenposeme - when

nasinseme - how

iloseme - with what thing

muteseme - how many

maniseme - how much (price)

(insert Esperanto table?)


Nominative    miwanen     mimuteen

Genitive      miwanpi     mimutepi

Dative        miwantawa   mimutetawa

Accusative    miwane      mimutee

Vocative      miwano      mimuteo

Inessive      miwaninsa   mimuteinsa

Ablative      miwanweka   mimuteweka

Instrumental  miwannasin  mimutenasin



Numerals

Work the same way as in Chinese or Japanese. Upon encountering a word with a higher value, multiply the value already accumulated. For extra confusion, number-weka-number is added for reducing the length. Numerals don't have numbers, but can have cases.

0    1    2   5     20    100  

ala  wan  tu  luka  mute  ale


Toki Ma provides dedicated words for numbers: wan, tu, san, po, lima, sesi, sepen, oto, newen; ten, kenta; kilo, meka, kika, [tela, peta, esa, seta, jota, lona, keta]


Exaples:

420 - tutu ale mute

1984 - mutewekawan ale tutu mute tutu (lukalukalukatutu ale tutu mute tutu)

wan e luka luka luka tu wan li esun, ante e mute weka tu. - One for eighteen and other one for twenty without two. (Six of one, half a dozen of the other.)


Verbs

Each verb has the following structure: Base-Person-Number-[Indicative/Imperative/Conditional]-[Active/Passive]-[Perfect/Continuous]

This is the heaviest agglutinated part of speech. It may be enough to make a single word sentence. As an alternative, see syntax.


Person (not only):

-mi        I, me, we

-sina      thou, you, y'all

-ona       he, she, it, xe

-jan       man, one, someone

-seme      what, something


Indicative/Imperative/Conditional:

TODO


Active/Passive:

TODO


Perfect/Continuous:

TODO


Examples:

lukinmimute - we see

tawajanwan-?-?-? ala ma-Moto-tawa. - One does not simply walk into Mordor.


Adverbs

Adverbs grade like adjectives, but take no cases. Usually they don't form a lexeme with a base noun like adjectives.


Examples:

nasasuli - more strangely


Conjunctions / Logic

Propositional logic:

ala - not

anu - or

en - and


ala [necessary condition] anu [sufficient condition] - if-then

ala [cond1] anu [cond2] en ala sama anu ante - if and only if

                           seme wan anu ala seme tu

                           ante anu ala sama


soweliwanen lape wile ala li, anu mun li, en ala sama anu ante.


Predicate logic:

ali - for each

??? - there exists

taso - there exists only one



Sentence global particles

TODO

see Syntax

li


Interjections

Any non-word that is not a proper name is considered an interjection. So there's not just mu and a.



Syntax

Having built up so strong morphology, the syntax is free for all. However, one can object the verbs are too complicated, so I make a more Japano-centric system for predication.

Like all my conlangs, verb goes at the end of the sentence.

Li particle turns a word into a verb, and goes after it.

 

li - nonpast tense (desu, -masu)

alali - nonpast negative (janai desu, janakatta desu, -masen)

pinili - past perfect tense

alapinili - past perfect negative

molili - deep past (deshita, -mashita)

alamolili - deep past negative (janai deshita, janakatta deshita, -masendeshita)

kamali - future tense

alakamali - future negative

openli - finna, gonna

sijeloli - present

+sike - continuous

Lexicon

Based on Toki Ma, "Top 808 Esperanto Roots" brochure, a Czech-Serbochroatian pocket dictionary from 1910, a big Japanese-Czech dictionary, and a medium-sized Finnish dictionary. I'm not familiar with Accadian French, Dutch, nor Georgian. Also Tok Pisin is just bad English, and No Inglese in conlangs, especially auxlangs, as you could be just using regular English instead.

All 120 (or so) core Toki Pona words are considered keywords and are reserved for grammar. Using extensions is recommended to avoid confusions.

Database format is like GeSeL, but without the length as it has no statistical meaning.

Slovanský kalendářní pizděc

Při sledování válečného pizděcu občas narážím na ukrajinské názvy měsíců, převážně když se ohlašují zákazy vycházení. Dubnu se ale zjevně říká květen, a květenu se říká traveň. Jako by nestačilo, že v Chorvatštině listopad znamená říjen. Vlastně chorvatština kazí půlku měsíců posunutím a další guláš boršč do toho dává staroslověnština, ale tu naštěstí sekularizovaná populace už nepoužívá. Čeština kazí právě ten květen, což vymyslel Jungmann, když chtěl delatinizovat máj, a zamotává červenec. Do toho se míchají ještě poetické názvy měsíců a geniálně líný nápad říkat všem měsícům číslem jako původně, ale kvůli římskému posunutí začátku roku je september devátý. Z tohoto důvodu byznysově-komunikačně orientovaná mezislovanština zvolila latinské názvy měsíců, protože ty jsou napříč slovanskými jazyky, které je používají, alespoň invariantní a nevedou k záměně, a porozumí jim i nebaltoslované.

Toto mezislovanské video navrhuje používat čísla, což se kromě obecné češtiny děje hlavně na Balkáně: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJ9ZTfOg3mM . Nicméně mezislovanské číslovky mají problém dostatečně rozlišit dvanadeset a dvadeset, což se v češtině spatlalo do lehce vzdálenějších podob dvanáct a dvacet. Přičemž -náct podoby jsou cizorodé prvky malého endianu, podobně jako jednadvacet místo dvacet jedna. Na Moravě lze zaslechnout smíšený endian z PDP-11, kdy 2345 se může číst třiadvacet set pětaštyrycet. O endianitě kalendářních dat a doporučených oddělovačích pojednává článek https://getmania.blogspot.com/2020/09/how-to-solve-date-format-mess.html . Naštěstí den měsíce je ve 2. pádu, číslo měsíce v 1. pádu mužského rodu a rok je zákládní číslovka v 1. pádu. (druhého čtvrtý dva tísíce třicet pět).

 

Přešly na latinské měsíce¹: slovenština, ruština, srbština, bulharština, makedonština, hornolužičtina, dolnolužičtina, lotyština²

██ kompatibilní

██ nekompatibilní v doplňkovém jazyce
██ jedinečný a originální
██ ne tak moc jedinečný, ale vesměs kompatibilní
██ latinský

¹ Boseňáci používají muslimský kalendář. Polabština vyhynula, než stihla přejít, a moc toho nesdílí.
² Lotyština a litevština jsou baltské jazyky, ale moc se zde neliší od slovanských (míň než polabština).
³ U kašubštiny byla dána preference nepolským názvům.
⁴ Rusínština se zde od ukrajinštiny liší jen nepatrně.
⁵ Rozbíjí hodně měsíců, proto oranžově.
⁶ Také Quintilis, Sextilis a Germanicus.
⁷ Také apríl a máj.
⁸ Také brzezień, łżykwiat a trawień.
⁹ Také polské podoby luti, kwiecéń, môj, lëpińc, serzpiéń, wrzeseń, pazdzérznik a grëdzéń.


Takže použitelná mezislovanská sada měsíců nehledě na staroslověnštinu a litevštinu by byla:

styčeň/leden, luty/gromnicznik, berezen, łżykwiat/duben/krasavik, svibanj, červeň, miodownik/zeminik, žniveň/kolovoz, wrzesień, październik, nazymnik, grudzeň/prosinec

S ohledem (nazymnik je lužicky a podobá se polabštině, tak hrozná byla situace):

leden, luty/gromnicznik, sakavik, łżykwiat/duben/krasavik, svibanj, červeň, miodownik/zeminik, žniveň/kolovoz, wrzesień, październik, nazymnik, sněžaň

 

Pro snížení zmatečnosti ze strany češtiny navrhuji přejmenovat květen na sviben a červenec na meden.


Dny v týdnu jsou trošku lepší mezi Slovany, a navíc i Balty a Maďary. Tady se navíc liší románské a germánské jazyky, protože to jsou sice bohové stejných věcí, ale jmenují se jinak (kromě "pracího" dne laugardagru, derivátů šabatu, středů týdne a přednedělí). Indické jazyky totéž přes řečtinu. Japonština a staročínština vykazuje určité podobnosti, místo bohů je dán důraz na vesmírná tělesa a živly. V češtině a novočínštině se opět projevuje lenost a říká se některým dnům číslem a pozicí. Litevstina a lotyština jedou komplet čísla. Pohani a ISO 8601 začínají pondělím, abrahamiti nedělí, Swahilci jaksi sobotou, takže neděle budiž 0. den, což se hodí do modulo, stejně jako 12. hodina je i 0. hodina.

Etymologicky je úterý ze zítra nebo ráno (vtoroj), ale zní jako Týr. Pondělí zní až moc jako Monday. Čtvrtek zní až moc jako Thursday. Lužičtina, polština, slovenština a panonská rusínština ten počáteční shluk po výpadku jerů zjednodušují i v písmu. Pátek a Freitag už jsou trošku dál. Bosňáci říkají pátku džuma. Koncovka -tek zní obecně moc jako -tag, ale je to jenom koncovka, asi jako polabské -mån u měsíců výše. Perfektně kombinuje čísla a bohy Tok Pisin, s posunem islandština. V ruštině je pondělí, ale neděli se říká voskreseně.

8. den je vyhrazen Uranovi, 9. Neptunu, 10. Plutovi, 11. Eridě, 12. Haumee, 13. Makemake a 14. Ceredě. Trpasličí planetky jsou 5denní víkend, o dies Plutonii se pracuje asi jako v pátek.

Extra Eastern European E-roads Envisioning

After the eventual defeat of Russkies, trade with Ukraine will incease dramatically, and traffic volume along with it. This will make a good opportunity to delineate new international corridors, represented by E-routes.

Also Russia will receive shiny new roads built by China so that they can sift away all sorts of resources more effectively.

Link to KMZ with most of these: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nZ73rLwiMyWhXxz8YIXoXDhIJBypHvgJ/view?usp=sharing



E93 and E103 - Slava Ukraini (i Belarosii?)

E95 was renamed to E105 and E93 was renamed to E95, leaving E93 unassigned. It should therefore go westward of E95 so that it evades Russia which is basically Mordor now for all economic purposes.


E93: Kotka (E85) ... Kunda - Tartu - Otepää - Rēzekne - Daugavpils - Pastavy - Minsk - Salihorsk - Mazyr - (along western side of Chernobyl Exclusion Zone) - Zhytomyr - Vinnycya - Rîbniţa - Dubasări - Chişinau - Komrat - Vulcăneşti - Galaţi - Brăila - Baia - Constanţa ... İstanbul - Gebze - Bursa - Kütabyatr - Afyonkarahisar - Antalya - Fethiye ... Rhodos - Lindos - Markheria (E100)

It crosses Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine, Transnistria, Moldavia, Romania, Turkey and Greece. Most important part is from Estonia to Romania. It has to cross Belarus, hopefully Lukasheko realizes he can at least collect toll money and let people and goods pass. Transnistria is also quite risky, but once both Moldova and Ukraine get into EU, Transnistria will be forced to calm down by the new EU military. Continuation in Finland should be an extended E85 instead.


E103: Leningrad (E105) - Novgorod - Porkhov - Velikie Luki - Smolensk - Brjansk - Hlukhiv - Konotop - Lubny - Cherkasy - Kirovograd - Mykolayiv (E58) - Kherson (E97)

Can go through Poltava, but that would make it overlap with E584. Contains more recently made historic cities.


E109 and E111 - Donbas, dumbass

The roads E105 and E115 are too close to each other. Looking at the map of early 20th century Ukraine, there is some territory to claim north of Donbas and south all the way to Abkhasia, cutting Russia's access to Black Sea.


E107: Medvezhyegorsk - Pyal'ma - Pudozh - Vytegra - Lipin Bor - Cherepovets - Pestovo - Bezhetsk - Dubna - Moscow


E109: Mcensk (E105) - Livny - Gorshechnoe - Chernyanka - Valuyki - Kupyansk - Izyum - Kramatorsk - Donetsk - Mariupol' - Berdyansk - Melitopol (E105)


E111: Voronezh (E115) - Alexeevka - Novopskov - Severodonetsk - Luhansk - Amvrosiivka - Taganrog - Rostov na Donu (E115)


E02 and E00 - Santa Claus and Grandfather Frost (Дед Мороз)

Somehow, E02 and E00 are unassigned. According to the system, they should be the northernmost East-West routes, however that is E06 and E69 due to historical reasons.


E02: Fauske (E06) - Arjeplog - Arvidsjaur - Gällivare - Kiruna - Karesuando - Ivalo - Murmansk - Sosnovka ... Ruch'i - Mezen' - Naryan Mar - Vorkuta - Salekhard - Nadym - Novyy Ugrenoy - Ugrenoy - Igarka - Khatanga - Novorybnoe - Yuryung-Khaya - Saskykalhskiy - Tiksi - Deputatskiy - Srednekolymsk - Omolon - Kamenskoe - Ivashka - Ust'-Kamchatsk - Kozyervsk - Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy

It crosses Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. I have decided to extend it to Kamchatka, since it isn't exactly the northernmost anyway. Kuril islands should belong to Japan, so no E-road there. There may not even be an actual road up there, but the supposed roads in Russia don't have much common with roads anyway. Where's your God now, statists, when the state doesn't even build the roads and smugglers have to do it instead? China to the rescue with economic colonization of Russia via the Belt and Road Initiative.

(Someone briefly vandalized Wikipedia with this route: Harstad – Ballangen – Storuman – Haparanda – Oulu – Jyväskylä – Mikkeli – Lappeenranta – St.Petersburg – Vologda – Yaroslavl – Vladimir – Ryazan – Tambov – Volgodonsk – Stavropol – Kutaisi – Kars – Ağrı – Özalp – Esendere) 


E00: Upernavik - Nuuk - Aappilattoq - Tasiilaq ... Bolungarvík - Svalbarðsheppur ... Jan Mayen ... Longyearbyen ... Franz Josef Land ... Severnaya Zemlya ... (uninhabited mainland cape) - Dikson (E02)

Mostly an icebreaker ferry itinerary. However the climate is a-changing, so not long before regular ships can pass. Alternatively could be given to Iceland road 1. Novaya Zemlya should be served by E121.


Extensions of existing roads

North-South

E85: Kajaani (E63) - Joensuu - Lappeenranta - Kotka ... Kunda - Paide - Viljandi - Valga - Riga - Klaipeda - ~~~

Very zig-zag, could replace or run simultaneously with E67 from Kaunas to Tallin, but that would need removing signposts from Kaunas to Klaipeda. Could take a detour via Tartu and replace most of E263 and E264. The Finland section could be marked E93 if the extended E85 seems hapzard.


E87: ~~~ - Antalya - Anamur - Adana (E90)


E91: Samsun - Amasya - Sivas - Darende - Toprakkale - ~~~


E95: Murmansk (E105) - Kovdor - Alakurtti - Kalevala - Kostomuksha - Ledmozero - Porosozero - Suoyarvi - Sortavala - Kuznechnoe - Leningrad - ~~~ - Merzifon - Yozgat - Aksaray - Antalya (E93)

Karelian highway, intended to be on the other side of the border from extended E85 or E93.


E101: ~~~ - Kyiv - Cherkasy - Kirovohrad - Kryvyy Rih - Nova Kakhovka - Krasnoperekopsk (E97) - Simferopol (E105) - Sevastopol

The section from Kyiv to Moscow will be useless, unless for a military campaign to Moscow so that Zelensky can personally talk to Puta Madre (or Putamás) with some very heavy arguments. The Crimean or Kerch bridge on E97 was blown up and repaired multiple times.


E105: ~~~ - Yalta ... Ordu - Suşehri - Sivas - Kayseri - Adana - Silfke ... Rizokarpaso (E100)


E113: Kem (E105) - Belomorsk - Nyukhcha - Maloshuyka - Onega - Kodina - Obozersky - Plesetsk - Shalakusha - Nyandoma - Konosha - Vozhega - Kharovsk - Vologda (E115) - Rybinsk - Kalyazin - Sergiyev Posad (E115)


E115: Mezen - Archangelsk - Bereznik - Velsk - Vologda - Yaroslavl - ~~~

This is supposed to link the port of Archangelsk and Severodvinsk to an abruptly ended E115 in Jaroslavl. This and following are extensions in Russia, so the (paved) road link may be missing, but could be built by Chinese economic colonists as a part of Belt and Road Initiative.


E121: (Nova Zemlya) - Amderma - Naryan Mar (E02) - Ust'-Tsil'ma - Mokhcha - Ukhta - Yemva - Syktyvar - Kirov - Kazan - Samara - ~~~

This road has a village of Fetisovo as one of it's control points, which sounds like it would definitely be a nice place for a fetish club. Not exactly a thing promoting "traditional relationships" (where a man gets drunk and beats a woman nonconsensually) or whatever laws they have in Kazakhstan, but neither are all the brothels along E55.


E123: Drovyanoy - Ust'-Yuribey - Shchuch'ye - Salekhard (E02) - Muzhi - Beryozovo - Polnovat - Priobye - Nagan - Sovetsky - Yugorsk - Serov - Kachkanar - Nizhnyy Tagil - Yetaterinburg - Chelyabinsk - ~~~


E125: Matyuysale - Gyda - Antipayuta - Tazovskiy - Novyy Urengoy - Gubkinskyy - Muravyenko - Surgut - Khanty Mansiysk - Tobolsk - Ishim - ~~~


E127: Dikson - Norilsk - Igarka - Tol'ka - Nizhnevarkovsk - Omsk - ~~~

Dikson is another brothel-worthy place name.


East-West

E10: ~~~ - Luleå - Tornio - Rovaniemi - Kuusamo - Kalevala - Belomorsk - Onega - Archangelsk - Mezen - Medvezhka - Usinsk - Muzhi - Gubinskiy - Tol'ka - Tutonchany - Tura - Ekonda - Aykhal - Udachnyy - Eyik - Zhigansk - Verkhoyansk - Deputatsky - Russkoye Ustye - Cherskyy - Keperveyem - Leningradsky - Uelen (E129)


E18: somewhere betwenn E10 and E20 as needed


E20: Leningrad - middle of nowhere until Magadan - Yevensk - Kamenskoe


E22: basically Transsiberian Railway, northern branch, then maybe Sakhalin (if not annexed by Japan)


E30: basically Transsiberian Railway, southern branch


E40: ~~~ - Ust'-Koksa - Aktash - Chadan - Kyzyl - Orlik - Baykalsk - Kyakhta - Khilok - Aginskoe - Borzya - Zabaykalsk

Maybe through Mongolia instead.


E50: ~~~ - Makhachkala ... Fetisovo - Karamola - Chagyl - Derweze - Kerpichli - Buchara - Shakhrizabz - Ayni - Batken - Osh - Naryn - Karakol - Kegen - Zharkent - Horgos - (Ürümqi)

Kegen and Kokpek seem to have been swapped in the 2007 chart. There so much space between E30 an E40 in Kazakhstan for some reason. I had to squeeze the E50 between E40 and E60. Also Fetisovo sounds like a good place for a fetish club.


E129 - Siberian diagonal or Bering to Caspian

This route is very crazy and the roads linking mentioned villages probably don't exist. But for the easternmost E-route it is sure enough.

It's possible that E134 and E136 will be renamed to E2xx, so that all E1xx numbers will be free. E13x to E14x could be used to add more Siberian roads. E15x to E19x could then be used for E0xx routes instead to decrease potential for confusion between E01 and E001, not to mention there's also an E1, which is an E-path for hiking. Alternatively just use 4 digits, like E1001, and incorporate every dirt road in Central Asia and Siberia up to E9999.

E129: Uelen (E10) - Anadyr - Kamenskoe - Omolon - Glukharnyy - Zyryanka - Ust-Nera - Yakutsk - Nyurba - Mirnyy - Ust'-Ilimsk - Bratsk - Krasnoyarsk - Achinsk - Tomsk - Novosibirsk - Barnaul - Semey - Balkhash - Kyzylorda - Dasshaus - Turkmenbashi (E60)


E100 - Panmediterranean oddysey

There is E98, E99, E101, but not E100. This could be a North African coastal road including Ceuta, Meilla, Carthage and maybe Jerusalem, but Trans-African Highway 1 runs very near and putting a European road on Africa would be perceived as an act of colonization. Therefore I propose a Mediterranean ferry intinerary, which is more fun. The ferries don't even have to be operational, but it can be a proposal for subsidizing. Undersea tunnels would be more convenient, though.

E100: Santa Cruz das Flores ... Ponta Delgada ... Funchal ... Santa Cruz de Tenerife ... Las Palmas de Gran Canaria ... Giblartar ... Ceuta ... Peňón de Vélez de la Gomera ... Melilla ... Ibiza ... Palma ... Ciutadella de Menorca ... Carbonia - Caligari - Costa Rei ... Pantelleria ... Marsala - Agrigento - Pacino ... Iż-Żebuġ ... Valletta ... ... Zakynthos ... Kalamata ... Kithira ... Skariana ... Paleokhora - Khora Sfakion - Plakais - Moires - Ierapetra ... Karpathos ... Markheria (E93) ... Pafos - Lemesos - Lefkosia - Rizokarpaso ... Samandağ - Antiokheia (E91) - (Aleppo - Rakkah - Hasaka - Kamishli - Cizre (E90))

From the Azores all the way to Cyprus. There may be issue with Northern Cyprus, but it's basically Turkey.


E102 and beyond southward - GEKOLONISEERD

Whilst odd numbers above E99 are used, there are no roads with even numbers above 98 and under E134. E100 has been proposed above. There are also very integral European territories further south, so much that the currency is Euro and European elections happen.


E102: Road Town ... The Settlement ... Anguilla ... Marigot - Phillipsburg ... Zions Hill ... Oranjestad ... Basseterre ... Codrington ... Saint John's ... Little Bay ... Baie Mahault ... Kanton Saint Louis ... Terre-de-Haut ... Portsmouth - Roseau ... Fort-de-France ... Gros Islet - Vieux Fort ... Bridgetown ... Kingstown ... Port Elizabeth ... Saint George's ... Scarborough ... Port of Spain ... Saint-Laurent - Cayenne ... São Filipe ... Praia ... Sal Rel ... San Antonio de Palé ... São Tomé ... Santo António

The most important territories of this road are British Virgin Isles, Sint Marteen, and French Guyana. Further roads are not included in the KMZ file.


E104: Seychelles ... British Indoocean Territory ... Coconut Island ... Christmas Island

British colonial Indian Sea corridor.


E106: Réunion ... Mauritius ... French South and Antarctic Territory

French colonial Indian Sea corridor.


E108: Falklands ... South Georgia and Sandwich Islands ... Bouvetøya ... French South and Antarctic Territory ... Heard and McDonald Isles

Having an E-road on Falklands is especially important to annoy Argentinians.


E110: Antarctic coast (especially in areas claimed by European countries)

Saint Helens and Ascension are in the middle of nowhere. E112, E114, E116, and E118 are reserved for Antarctic roads. E122, E124, E126 and E128 are reserved for Pacific Ocean island chains I won't waste time researching. It's a whole hemisphere of water in there, you can sail freely in any direction. E120 is reserved for in case Kuril islands are given to a European country.

Nah, give even numbers E110..E128 to post-Asad Syria, extend suitable odd numbers from Turkey and E100 from Cyprus.


Regarding the historical numbering, I would introduce brown signs with white text in the the form of EH1 ~ EH103. These shouldn't run on motorways, as they mostly didn't exist back then, and to not duplicate the modern green network needlessly. Sort of like Historic Route 66 in the USA. These are better for those crappy 125cm^3 motorscooters rideable with a car license, which are motorway legal only de iure. Riding a 125cc on a motorroad is just like riding a legal e-bike on a stroad.




EuroVelo - for when them pigs suspend yer loicense

Motorways are fine because they keep cars and trucks away from actually interesting roads that are not built for heavy traffic. But I don't like driving cars, I'm much more of a bike person. Especially when there's an electric motor attached to it. There's a network of long distance bike roads called EuroVelo, density of which is very lacking in Eastern Europe, despite having a very bike-friendly mostly flat terrain. Bad road quality is not a concern, mountain bikes are a thing. So I propose some. These ideas are included in the KMZ.


EV2: ~~~ - Moscow - Nizhniy Novgorod - Kazan - Izhevsk - Perm - Yekaterinburg - Tyumen - Omsk - Novosibirsk - Krasnoyarsk - Irkutsk

Transsiberian Railway until Baikal, which is simply a gorgeous lake worthy of a ring road, but is by no means in Europe.


EV4: ~~~ - Kyiv - Dnipro - Izyum - Kamensk-Shakhtinskyy - Stalingrad - Astrakhan - Atyrau - Beyneu - Aralsk - Baikonur - Kyzylorda - Khantau - Burubaimal

All the way to Lake Balkhash, briefly touching Aral Sea. Kazakhstan, very nice. Could go a more direct route to Balkash via Zhezqazghan, but that seems too boring and hilly compared to Syrdarya and Chu rivers. Also can't miss Baikonur. Already goes south of Chernobyl.


EV16: Black Sea Ring Road Iberian Cycle Route

Technically the Turkey and Georgia section is not in Europe, but these countries are long time EU aspirants.

In September 2023 EV 16 was announced to be a somewhat short route from Lisboa to Pamplona. So much for the "geographically balanced network" and "fills a gap". Eastern Europe is not a nuclear fallout dilapidated war zone full of corruption or what those Westerners think. It's just a little bit poor from all that socialism. Also the Europen plain is perfect for cycle routes, all the way from Moscow to Hague, why Iberian mountains?


EV18: Corsica ... Sardinia ... Sicily ... Peloponesos ... Crete ... Rhodos ... Turkish Riviera (Oddysey Route) Black Sea Ring Road

Very heavy on ferries, but as with E100, putting it on the African coast would be colonialism, not to mention riding in the Sahara desert is by no means fun. The entire landscape looks like a waving Ukrainian flag.

Provisionally move Black Sea Ring Road here.


EV20: Aegean Sea Ring Road (EV10 is North Sea) (or entire Mediterranean)

Complement to EV10 and accompaniement to EV18, itself related to EV8.


EV21: Riga - Vilnius - Minsk - Kyiv - Chişinau - Bucarest - Sofia - Thessaloniki (Far Eastern European Capitals Route)

Passes through Chernobyl, which should make it very attractive. Also could pass through Hostomel and Bucha, soon to be memorial sites with sunflower fields all around. Also passes through Belarus, therefore may need to make a detour like EV23. Transnistria may not be exactly safe too, but that is expected to be dealt with once both Moldova and Ukraine are in the EU, maybe even NATO.


EV22: Caspian Sea Ring Road (EV12 is Baltic Sea)

Only partially in Europe


EV23: New Iron Curtain Trail (or Schengen border trail)

Along the border of Russia in the best case. In the worst case, detour Belarus and cut short via Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhya, and Mykolayiv. Alternatively could just represent the Schengen area border for ease of travelling. Relates to EV13.


EV24: Iceland Ring Road (24 hours of sunlight and moonlight)

Actually, the entire island is just below the Arctic circle with the nothernmost tip at 66°32'17" N. The polar circle can pass through it if and only if the Earth's axial tilt is at least 23°27'43" and at most 26°35'20". As of 2022-05-24, the Earth's axis tilt is only 23°26'11", so the polar circles are at 66°33'50". Grímsey island nothern tip is at 66°33'59" N (23°26'01" tilt needed), though, and you can stretch the sunlight with civil and maybe nautical twilight.


EV25: Murmansk - Leningrad - Moscow - Stalingrad - Sochi (Operation Barbarossa Frontline Route)

Famous WW2 line, EV23 if there turns out to be no New Iron Curtain after all. EV25 would then be West Ural trail and EV27 would run on ridges.


EV26: Karelian Lakes Ring Road

Was considering it for Aral Sea Ring Road, but that would be a very boring and potentially dangerous ride.


EV27: West Ural Mountain Foot Trail

Geological border of Europe. If ferry, then Novozemlyofjörður. Would prefer it on the mountain range foot because for every downhill ride there has to be an annonying uphill climb.


EV28: Lake Balkhash Ring Road

Much better than Aral Sea, even if it's by no means in Europe. But some E-roads are not in Europe either, so what gives. May be a wraparound of EV4, if no EV29 because no EV23 and no ridge trail.


EV29: East Ural Mountail Tral

On the opposite side. Briefly touches the Aral Sea or whatever remains of it.


EV30: Baikal Ring Road

Not in Europe, but too nice to not have a ring road. May be a wraparound of EV2.

Palaeo- and Neogetmanic / Staro- a novogetmanština [qgn]

Originally started as a bunch of modifications to Czech. It went for a highly German vibe with some Japanese. Puns were a large part of the vocabulary. No longer actively developed, though there exist some undocumented corona additions, like "nosoplenařit", to wear and make people wear a face cloth.

Instead, there are plans for Neogetmanic, which in addition to connecting all the Palaeogetmanic components is more Ponaszymu-Japanese with some Arabic, and is to incorporate the vocabulary assembled for GeSeL and a spinoff of Palaeogetmanic called Budhót'n. Basically something like English, which is really 3 languages in a trench coat - Old Norse via Anglosaxon, Latin via French, and Galeic. Only in the case of Neogetmanic, these languages are all from different families, ensuring variety. This should help with writing poetry, as there will be more options how to rhyme words, and the result will be mostly intelligible for fellow Western Slavic japanologists or arabists, like Jabberwocky.


Onomatopoeic Creole [qon]

Just a dead experiment. Was dependent on parent language's interjections. There are some onomatopoeic roots in GeSeL and a more sophisticated conlang with onomatopoeic cluster primitives is planned. Don't ever talk to your babies like that, their brain can handle all the natural language complexity to find patterns in. Also, play classical or jazz to them instead of this Baby Shark nonsense.

Successor languages GeSeL, it's dialect Onomasemitic, and Blobl incorporate onomatopoeic primitives.


GeSeL / G3S3L - Getman's Generic Genuinely Silly Stupid Semitic Language [qge]

Gone are the high school days when I had the time for putting in the content for GeSeL, which was mostly copied over from Semitic roots and Japanese dictionaries. Instead, it's unique structure has served as a useful topic for a bunch of semester works and it now has a database architecture and a web UI called GeSeLator. It's 1 deployment away to a better-advertised server from making others add the content for me, like a public questionnaire. I can filter out the junk.

There's a fundamental flaw in GeSeL, and it's the same as for Esperanto or other too regular languages. There are only grammatical rhymes, which makes it unsuitable for writing poetry. Maybe one of the letter order mods could fix it.

The alphabet is really good, so I'll use variations of it in later pure conlangs, and also extend the mapping table co cover most scripts that are in Unicode. Those which can not amass 27 letters (21+1 consonants, 4+1 vowels) will be hacked with accents or will have to use digraphs.

GeSeL has many root packages, giving way to many dialects. Each dialect will eventually associate a different grammar, becoming a descendant language.

S -> Getmarabic, later to become GeSeL 2
J -> Semitic Japanese, continuing to japanify
O -> Onomasemitic, a precursor to Blobl
A/Q/I -> AcroSem, becoming Vocalized Acronym Creole [qoa] with vowels in roots and more English-derived short words
H -> CRCreole, an attempt to keep Hashtalk within only 8 consonants
V -> Slavitic, a transitional language to OSloJ


Hashtalk [qht]

Basically vaporware, waiting for some hash-grinding scripts. It's supposed to correct the poetry flaw of GeSeL by rhyming completely random words. It can serve as a password hash dictionary, may be useful in cybersecurity. The only problem is the resulting words would be too long, even for long broken MD5. CRCtalk [qcc] could maybe be frendlier and would fit in the GeSeL root system, but no one really cares about checksums.

Essentially, Hashtalk is a reimplementation of Ptydepe from Havel's Memorandum. GeSeL is supposed to be Chorukor. The alphabet will be the same as GeSeL. The grammar could be stolen from toki pona, with the words now being very specific and arbitrarily numerous.


Gudhotn [qgh]

A streamlined dialect and a spelling reform of Budhót'n [qbh], which is mostly a relex of Western Slavic inspired by Palaeogetmanic. It will be a subset of Neogetmanic with a Budhót'n grammar and share vocabulary with OSloJ. It won't use the GeSeL alphabet, but will share it with Neogetmanic.

A Á B C Č D Ď Ʒ Ǯ E É F G H Ȟ I Í J K L Ĺ M N Ň O Ó P Q R Ŕ Ř S Š T Ť U Ú V W Y Ý Z Ž

Optionally Ǎ Ě Ǐ Ǒ Ǔ Y̌ Ą Ę Į Ǫ Ų Y̨ Â Ê Î Ô Û Ŷ and any combination. Maybe Ů for legacy ethymology and Å Ä A̋ Ö Ő Ü Ű for loanword support and expressiveness. Acutes over sonorants and funny caron consonants may come up too in interjections.

Also the Latin reabjadification still holds. Fonts and keyboard drivers need to get their shit together and support accent stacking properly as Unicode won't be adding any precomposed letters. For some reason the accents come in writing order, not typing order.


OSloJ ("donkeys") - Obecný Slovanský Jazyk (Generic Slavic Language) [qoj]

A more sophisticated dialect and mod of GeSeL, with a grammar vaguely resembling a Slavic one. It will have access to the same vocabulary, with a new V package with Slavic words. It will differ from Gudhotn and Neogetmanic in that it will use a GeSeL alphabet (with minor modifications) and have considerably simpler and more mathematical grammar. It's targeted as an auxlang for a broader range of Slavs with odd interests than basically private Western-Slav-centric Gudhotn and incomprehensibly random artlang Neogetmanic. Like puns, Slav memes will play a great role in OSloJ, so it can be guaranteed that "čeburek" and "kompot" will mean what you expect them to mean.

C is now only TS, J is now as in IPA or Esperanto, Q W X is CH SH ZH being roughly similar to Cyrillic Ч Ш Ж (Č Š Ž recommended if charset allows), Y is yeru or schwa. Palatalization is assimilation.

Grammar moves away from transfixes, every legacy root is now vocalized *a*a* or *y*y*. Short words are replaced with Slavic ones. A backwards compatible V root pack will be provided too. Origin table gets a new Osloj column for OSloJ transcriptions.

Slavitic, OSloJ, and Gudhotn form pons asinorum between GeSeLania and Budhót'nska, without going into Neogetmanic. They are mostly the product of trying to interconnect databases. Satemic broadens the zone of OSloJ. May have some lore implications.


GeSeL 2: Arabic Boogaloo [qga]

After acquainting myself with actual Arabic grammar, I'll stop stealing from Japanese and remake the grammar to allow writing of profound anasheed, finally fixing the poetry problem for good, and realizing the true vision of Getmarabic.

Alphabet is to remain the same as GeSeL. If I can't find sufficient regularity in Arabic morphology, Root table gets a new Class column.


Satemic - Sanskrit-inspired satem-type Indo-European creole [qst]

In descendant Indo-European languages, there are words that haven't really changed at all since Proto-Indo-European. That's why Latvian and Lithuanian are highly acclaimed by linguists, since they have preserved certain words that most other languages have replaced. There is also a significant Roma population which speaks Romani, which is related to Hindi which builds on Sanskrit which is also satem-type. Roma have nothing to do with Romans nor Romanians (whose language is centum-type), that's why we call Roma Gypsy or Zigeuner, but that's racist somehow. Slavic languages are also satem-type, which explains the odd familiarity of some Sanskrit words. So I want to take these words and modernize them according to the language they best survived in, while throwing out the fusional grammatical cruft (isolating languages are the best for learning, symbolic may be more fun) and filling the gaps with some internationally recognizable words. I suspect the Indoeuropean ablaut, that one bit of nonconcatenative morphology, may be a leftover from Nostratic superfamily or sprachbund, which also encompasses transfixive Afro-Asiatic and hyperconcatenative Altaic languages, including Japanese and Korean. And that's why I've compared Japanese to Moravian with how "ei" and "ou" are pronounced.

The centum-satemic split is said to be overcome, as there are some centum languages in satem land and vice versa, and some Indoeuropean languages are neither, and the consecutive sound changes have led to some crossing into the territory of other type, not to mention centum loanwords in satem languages undergoing their own changes. If you are very political, the art direction of Satemic can be explained as the Russo-Indian relations dating back to Soviet times when USA supported Pakistan, and the national food is curry potatoes with onion (see the recipe for KGBB). Also the Baltics, Afghanistan, and Sikkim are occupied, the Eastern Bloc is active, so Satemia is a continuous "Russkij Mir" territory, and there's Roma infestation. Quite a stretch for a zonal constructed language, but Indoeuropean words are mostly cognate.


Inglish [qig]

So far only a spelling reform for more convenient speech synthesis exists. I'm not sure if I am truly bilingual, so I don't have any plans to alter the grammar beyond meme speak. Furthermore, English is already a perfectly working auxlang, and in the few cases it's not, Russian, German, French, Spanish or Chinese usually work. I may maintain a list of some silly puns. Also I have tried making an emoji regraphemization of Shavian and Deseret.

Blobl - A complety original conlang for once [qlb]

A lot of complaints can be made about copying existing vocabulary and grammar, as well as using mainly Latin script. So this conlang will bring onomatopoeic vocabulary primitives giving way to coded classification, old GeSeL grammar hacks, 2nd order modalized predicate logic, base 16 number system, a featural script, nonconcatenative nonarabic morphology, and unusual phonemes, mostly from the unused spaces of Neogetmanic alphabet. The name "Blobl" is provisional. Bl as in blah, twice for plural, o for good.


Toki pona pakala pi toki Nipon [qtk]

Toki Pona, but with Japanese grammar and phonology, as well as some Finnish agglutination, maybe extra unneeded words because why not. Possibly a learning aid to practice agglutinative grammars. Taso. Ponamutemute.
