Characteristics

Multilingua is based on an understanding of the general rules of languages rather than their exceptions, in an attempt to simplify the complex language system. For this reason, this manual should not be understood as categorical statements, since there are always exceptions, but as general models. In any case, this text is a summary of a simplified grammar within a broader and more complete one, which integrates all languages. In this grammatical microsynthesis, 90% of grammar is included.

Personal expression (Structure): The speaker expresses him/herself in the grammatical structure of his/her mother tongue by learning a few simple rules.
Multilingual comprehension: Allows communication between speakers of different languages.
Composition & recursion: Multilingua is a language of composition so with very few roots we can compone a very rich vocabulary.
Universal Grammar: It is presented from a systems analysis point of view, as simplified as possible, trying to facilitate the understanding of the complexity of languages, being this project open and adaptable to present and future needs. View more
Evente-ente ente-Evente: Syntax can be understood as the combination of two elements, of a linguistic binomial, which can be given different names according to the functions it is fulfilling. This binomial, using an event-entity-entity-event method of analysis, will result in the sentence or phrase. View more
Vocabularie multilingual (internacional): Its vocabulary is cross-national with more than 15,000 words mainly of Indo-European origin. More than 30% of the world’s population (2 billion) understand 90% of the vocabulary and grammar. View more
Flexible: Multilingua is a flexible language, with abundant grammatical flexion, i.e. many words are transformed according to their grammatical function, as in the conjugations of verbs or the declensions of nouns. Knowing only the noun, we can easily construct its corresponding adjective, verb and adverb.
Comprehensibility & economy: All language tends to be comprehensible and economical, it seeks a combination of simplicity and comprehension.
Generically neutral: As far as grammatical gender is concerned, Multilingua presents itself as a generically neutral language. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Phasellus maximus lectus enim, sit amet viverra risus vestibulum eu.
Patrimonial and synergistic: allows the intangible heritage of humanity to be protected. Languages.
Facilitate expression: Speakers of a modern Indo-European language can recognise up to 90% of the vocabulary in Multilingua.
Broaden understanding: Multilingua is characterised by ease of comprehension, so that in English “particular” is expressed by the word “picky” but any English speaker will understand the word “particular” in Multilingua, just like a French, Spanish or Italian speaker. In the same way, the characteristics of Multilingua natural, simple, neutral are said and mean the same in all languages.

Structure and
vocabulary

The multilingual structure is combinatorial (syntagmatic) and the vocabulary is substitutional (paradigmatic). Its basic principles lie in respecting the syntagmatic (combinatory) aspect of languages and modifying only the paradigmatic (substitutive) aspect. It aims to preserve linguistic diversity and, while respecting the characteristics of the source languages, to allow multilingual communication.
The multilingua structure is made possible by combinatorics (syntagmatics), which enables different structures of the universal grammar.

Multilingua has a multilingual structure and a multilingual vocabulary of Indo-European origin, since languages of Indo-European origin are spoken by half of humanity. It is inflectional and derivable, compositional and recursive. Vocabulary formation is through derivation and composition. With very few roots we can compose a lot of vocabulary. Learn more

In addition, its structure facilitates creation (expression) and enhances recreation (comprehension), which makes multilingua an easy, dynamic and neutral tool that is at the same time comprehensible and economical. The aim of multilingua is to facilitate expression without compromising comprehension.

Multilingua, a multilingual mother tongue and multilingual comprehension, aims for easy, simple and quick understanding between most of the languages with an international vocabulary.

The second basic principle is recommendation versus acceptance. Many of the rules or guidelines are recommendations, although perceptions that may come from the source language are always accepted.

Multilingua is our language and at the same time everyone’s language: ours because it reflects the structure and combinations of our own personal language and everyone’s language because the combinations of all languages are reflected in it.

From the point of view of use, we must use our own language in communication with those who have the same personal language as ours and everyone’s language in communication with those who have a different personal language. Multilingua includes all personal multilinguals and respects personal combinatorics (syntagms), so that comprehension is always multicombinatory and multisemantic.
