Greko-Latina

Introduction

Græko-Latina is intended as a way to take the international scientific and Græko-Latin vocabulary and make an International Auxiliary Language. It arose from my disfavor with the vocabulary, phonology, etc. of other IALs such as Esperanto and Interlingua. As a secondary matter, I hope it could be used by the Catholic Church as a way to simplify Latin to bring back for mass.

Phonology

Orthography

Græko-Latina uses the 26 standard letters of the Latin alphabet with the addition of æ and œ, which may be written as ae and oe if it's more convenient. All letters have their IPA values except <c>, , and <x>, which are /t͡s or t͡ʃ/, /kʷ/, and /ʃ/ respectively. Four digraphs (ai, au, eu, oi) make the implied diphthong, and ch, rh, and th have their Greek pronunciations (/x/, /r̥/, and /θ/, respectively). Q does not pair with u, as in most European languages, as this is redundant.
