Introduction
Greko-Latina is intended as a way to take the international scientific and Greko-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
Greko-Latina uses the 26 standard letters of the Latin alphabet with no extra characters. All letters have their IPA values except c, q, and x, which are /t͡s or t͡ʃ/, /kʷ/, and /ʃ/ respectively. Four digraphs (ai, au, eu, oi) make the implied diphthong. Q does not pair with u, as in most European languages, as this is redundant.
This way the letters and digraphs have as close as possible to their pan-European values as possible while also being phonetic.
| Letter | IPA (preferred) | IPA (alternate) |
|---|---|---|
| a | a | ɑ |
| b | b | |
| c | t͡s | t͡ʃ |
| d | d | |
| e | e | |
| f | f | |
| g | g | ɣ |
| h | h | ɦ or x |
| i | i | |
| j | j | |
| k | k | |
| l | l | |
| m | m | |
| n | n | |
| o | o | |
| p | p | |
| q | kʷ | kw, kv |
| r | r | any rhotic |
| s | s | |
| t | t | |
| u | u | |
| v | v | |
| w | w | |
| x | ʃ | |
| y | y | ɪ, ʏ, ɨ, ə |
| z | z |
Consonants
| Labial | Dental | Alveolar | Palato-Alveolar | Palatal | Velar | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| plain | labialized | Glottal | ||||||
| Nasal | m | n | ||||||
| Plosive | p b | t d | kʷ | k g | ||||
| Affricate | t͡s ~ t͡ʃ | |||||||
| Fricative | f v | θ | s z | ʃ | ç ~ x | |||
| Approximant | j | w | h | |||||
| Rhotic | r | |||||||
| Lateral | l | |||||||
Consonants are never geminated.
Vowels
| Front Unrounded | Front Rounded | Back | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Close | i | y | u |
| Mid | e | o | |
| Open | a ~ ɑ | ||
Prosody
Stress
Stress is always on the penultimate syllable.
Intonation
Phonotactics
The maximal syllable structure is <C><C><C><V><C>.
Morphophonology
Morphology
Syntax
Constituent order
Since there are few inflections, a strict word order of SVO is required, and adjectives come after nouns.
Noun phrase
Verb phrase
Sentence phrase
Dependent clauses
Example texts
The Lord's Prayer:
"Nostro patre, ki stas in celo,
santifakato stare tutro nomene,
tutro regita avenas,
tutro volunto stare fakato,
in geo et in celo,
das a nos hodi nostro diese pane,
et dismisa nostro debito tam nos dismisa le debite de alio,
et no indukas nos a tentace,
pero liberas nos de malo.
Ka tutro stas la regita, potenca, et glori,
en eternita, amen."
