'''Lingwa de planeta''' (also '''Lidepla''' or '''LdP''') is a [[constructed language|constructed]] [[international auxiliary language]]<ref name="journal" /> based on the most widely spoken languages of the world, including [[Arabic]], [[Chinese language|Chinese]], [[English language|English]], [[French language|French]], [[German language|German]], [[Hindi]], [[Persian language|Persian]], [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], [[Russian language|Russian]], and [[Spanish language|Spanish]].<ref>[http://www.unish.org/upload/word/JUL13-1.pdf Journal of Universal Language] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140519040718/http://www.unish.org/upload/word/JUL13-1.pdf |date=2014-05-19 }}</ref>

The main idea of Lidepla is a harmonious whole on the base of the most widespread and influential [[national language]]s. The intention is also for it to have something in common with the native languages of most of the people. With the various source languages from across the globe, it is one of the [[a posteriori (languages)|a posteriori]] languages.

Development of the language began in 2006 in [[Saint-Petersburg]], [[Russia]], by a group of enthusiasts, with Dmitri Ivanov being the project leader. The basic version of the language was published in June 2010.

== Alphabet and pronunciation ==
The official Lidepla [[alphabet]] is based on the [[Latin script]] and contains the following 25 letters,<ref name="ge">[http://www.lingwadeplaneta.info/en/anglegram.shtml Grammar with examples], sections:
* ''[http://www.lingwadeplaneta.info/en/anglegram.shtml#alphabetandpronunciatio Alphabet and pronunciation]'' and 
* [http://www.lingwadeplaneta.info/en/anglegram.shtml#stress ''Stress''] (accessed 2017)</ref> and their upper case equivalents:

}}

The letter ''q'' is not used, and ''c'' occurs only in the digraph “ch”. The letter ''y'' represents the same [[vowel]] as “i”, but is never stressed. The following digraphs and letters are pronounced as follows, with examples:

* '''ch''' – /t͡ʃ/ as in “cheese”: ''chay'' — tea
* '''-ng''', at the end of a word – /ŋ/<ref name="lingwadeplaneta">[http://lingwadeplaneta.info/files/La%20Riverego%20autuno%202011.pdf Riverego]</ref> as in ''fang'': ''feng'' — wind
* '''sh''' – /ʃ/ as in “shoes”: ''shi'' — ten
<!--* '''h''' – /x/ as ''ch'' in German ''“Fach”'': ''hao'' – good-->
* '''j''' – /d͡ʒ/ as in “Jack”: ''jan'' — to know
* '''z''' – /d͡z/: ''zun'' — to go in for
* '''x''' – /ks/ as in “extra”: ''examen'' — exam

''-ng-'' in the middle of a word is pronounced /ŋg/ (as is “ng” in ''finger''). ''<!--ch, h, -->v'' and ending ''-ng'' may alternatively be pronounced as <!-- /h/ (''house''),--> /w/ (as in ''wood'') and /n/ (''nose''), respectively. ''x'' between two vowels may be slightly voiced,{{clarify|the grammar says "preferably as /gs/". Is that fully correct? And if so: why was this elected as preferred pronunciation in that case? would be interesting to know, if there's any source|date=September 2017}} and ''x'' before a consonant may be pronounced as /s/.

Some learning material uses /h/ for the letter '''h'''.<ref>English Wikibooks course, and: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfItYf-cAig, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUz_mjfqBIY</ref> The grammar allows that pronunciation, but gives /x/ as ''ch'' in German ''Fach'' as the primary.

For more details on the phonology, see the section [[Lingwa de planeta#Phonology|Phonology]] below.

=== Stress ===
The general rule regarding the [[Stress (linguistics)#Lexical stress|stress]] is:

* the vowel before the last consonant (or “y”) is stressed: ''máta'' (mother), ''família'' (family), ''akshám'' (evening), ''ruchéy'' (brook)

Lidepla tries to preserve the original sounding of the international words, though, so there are some exceptions, as follows, in short:<ref name="journal" />

* some endings (''-um, -us, -er, -en; -ik-, -ul-<ref>Do note that ''-fula'' is an ending on its own, not containing the -ul- ending, and thus receives normal stress</ref>'', and most but not all suffixes<ref name="ge" />) are never stressed
* the doubled vowel is always stressed (like in ''adyoo'', “bye”)

== Description and grammar ==
The main idea behind Lidepla was to create a harmonious whole on the base of the most widespread and influential [[national language]]s of the planet. That results in the Lidepla vocabulary containing a fairly significant amount of non-European words, which makes Lidepla a [[welttung]]. A general design principle for Lidepla was to have something in common with the native languages of most of the people on Earth.<ref name="journal"/><ref>http://ifapcom.ru/files/Documents/multiling_eng.pdf#page=112</ref>

The Lidepla grammar is based on 3 rules: the rule of the constant form, the rule of belonging to a word class, and the rule of direct word order.

=== Rule of the constant form ===
The [[word form]] never changes. Special particles are used to express the [[grammatical meaning]]s, for example:

* ''me lubi'' – I love
* ''li lubi'' – they love
* ''yu '''ve''' lubi'' – you will love
* ''me '''wud''' lubi'' – I would love
* ''lubi ('''ba''')'' – love!

The only two exceptions are: 
* the '''[[plural]] of nouns''', which is made by adding the suffix '''-s''': ''kitaba'' (book) — ''kitaba'''s''''' (books), ''flor'' (flower) — ''flore'''s''''' (flowers), and
* the verb '''to be''', which has its own forms:
** ''bi'' for the indefinite
** ''es'' for the present
** ''bin'' for the past

=== Rule of belonging to a word class ===
Every Lidepla word belongs to a word class – [[noun]], [[verb]], [[adjective]], [[adverb]], etc. [[Derivation (linguistics)|Derivation]] takes place by means of [[affix]]es and [[particle (grammar)|particles]]:<ref name="lingwadeplaneta" />

* ''lubi'' – to love (verb)
* ''luba'' – love (noun)
* ''lubi-she'' – loving (adjective)
* ''lubi-shem'' – lovingly, with love (adverb)

There are no fixed endings for the word classes, there are preferable, though. Thus most verbs end in '''i''', but there are some exceptions (for example: ''jan'' – to know, shwo'' – to talk, etc).

==== Derivation ====
By means of affixes and particles new words can be made up, both of the same class and of the other.<ref name="lingwadeplaneta" /> For example:

{| class="wikitable" style="margin: 0 auto;"
|-
| ''somni'' – to sleep
| ''somni-she'' – sleeping
|-
| ''en-somni'' – to fall asleep
| ''somni-shem'' – sleepingly, as if while asleep
|-
| ''somni-ki'' – to doze
| ''somnishil'' – sleepy
|-
| ''gro-somni'' – to be dead to the world
| ''somnilok'' – sleeping place
|-
| ''ek-somni-ki'' – to take a nap
| ''somninik'' – sleepyhead
|}

==== Principle of necessity ====
The use of special particle is optional if its meaning is clear from the [[context (language use)|context]].<ref name="journal" /><ref name="lingwadeplaneta" /> For example:

* ''Yeri me miti ela'' – “Yesterday I met her”, and
* ''Manya me miti ela'' – “Tomorrow I'll meet her”

both lack particles indicating time, because it is already obvious from “yesterday” and “tomorrow”. In the same manner:

* ''Me vidi mucho kinda'' – “I see a lot of children”

lacks the plural indicating ending ''-s'', because plural is already indicated by ''mucho'', in contrast to:

* ''Me vidi kinda'''s''''' – “I see children”

that uses the plural -s ending.

=== Rule of direct word order ===
The [[word order]] in a [[sentence (linguistics)|sentence]] is usually direct, that is [[subject (grammar)|subject]] — [[predicate (grammar)|predicate]] — [[object (grammar)|object]], [[Grammatical modifier|attribute]] goes before the noun, [[preposition]]s are before the noun group they refer to.

If the word order is changed, it is shown by the use of special particles. For example, ''den'' is put before the object,<ref name="lingwadeplaneta" /> like this:

* ''Ela lubi lu'' – “She loves him”, versus
* ''Den lu ela lubi'', with the same meaning (literally “Him she loves”) – where the object ''lu'' is marked by placing ''den'' before it.

=== Personal pronouns ===
The basic personal pronouns of Lidepla are:

:{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
! person
! singular
! plural
|-
! 1
| me
| nu
|-
! 2
| yu
| yu
|-
! rowspan="2" | 3
| ta
| rowspan="2" | li
|-
| it
|}

There is a distinction in third person singular between animate<!-- or is it something living? would that include flowers? --> and inanimate: ''ta'' is used for humans and animals (corresponding to he/him, she/her, and it when used about an animal), and ''it'' about things and objects. If the speaker wishes to distinguish gender, there is also third person singular '''ela''' (she, her) and '''lu''' (he, him).

Just as in English, second person plural (you, you all) and singular (you) are both the same word: ''yu''. Lidepla also has an indefinite personal pronoun: '''oni''' (one, they as in “they say that...”, and “one does not...”).

==== Possessive forms ====
The short form of the possessive pronouns looks like this:

:{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;"
! person
! singular
! plural
|-
! 1
| may
| nuy
|-
! 2
| yur
| yur
|-
! 3
| suy
| ley
|-
|}

The third person singular ''suy'' is universal and can be used as the possessive form for both ''ta'', ''it'', ''ela'' and ''lu'' – for ''ela''  and ''lu'' there's also the forms '''elay''' and '''luy'''.

The suffix ''-ney'' is used to form adjectives from nouns.<ref>''-ney'' is also used to form passive/past active participe</ref> Therefore, it is also possible to form longer possessive pronouns with the base form and the suffix ''-ney'': '''mi-ney''', '''yu-ney''', etc.

=== Verbs ===
Verb roots never change in Lidepla. Tense are formed by particles, or by suffixes.

== Vocabulary ==
Most Lidepla [[vocabulary]] is made up of [[international words]] of [[Latin]] origin. The most frequent words, though, are of English, Russian, Chinese, Arabic and Hindi origin. There are not definite endings for different [[parts of speech]], so nearly any word can be easily incorporated. The words are adapted to Lidepla [[phonology]] and do not preserve original [[orthography]] – the pronunciation is preserved in first hand, not the spelling.<ref name="journal" /><ref>[https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/lingwadeplaneta/conversations/topics/999 Yahoo discussion group]: “ ... While borrowing a word, we usually save its pronunciation, not spelling...”</ref>

As of 2014, the Lidepla vocabulary had about 4,000 entries, meaning about 10,000 individual words, with an increasing number. For a word to be incorporated, the following principles are taken into account:<ref name="journal" />
* short words without consonant clusters are preferred
* the word has to be widespread and/or phonetically familiar for speakers of at least a few different [[national languages]]. For example, the word ''darba'' (strike),<ref>http://www.lingwadeplaneta.info/en/svodka.shtml</ref> of Arabic origin, is close to Russian "удар" (''udar''; strike) and Chinese "打" (''dǎ''; to strike).

=== Similarity examples ===
Whole Lidepla phrases sometimes sound very close to national languages ones,<ref name="journal" /><ref name="lingwadeplaneta" /> with the same meaning:
* ''Brata snova dumi om to'' is similar to its equivalent in Russian (The brother is thinking about it again)
* ''Ta bu yao shwo'' to Chinese ''Tā bù yào shuō'' ([[gender neutral language|[S]he]] doesn't want to talk)
* ''Way yu go bak?'' to English ''Why do you go back?'' or ''Why are you going back?''
* ''Me jan ke mata pri pi chay'' to Hindi {{example needed|date=May 2020}}(I know that mother likes to drink tea), and
* ''Pa sabah me safari'' is similar to Arabic ''في الصباح أسافر'' fi'ṣ-ṣabāḥ usāfir (In the morning I travel)

== Phonology ==
There are 17 basic [[consonants]] (b, d, g; p, t, k; w, f; s, ʃ; x; d͡ʒ, d͡z; m, n, r, l) and 3 optional ones (v; t͡ʃ; ŋ) in Lidepla.<ref name="journal" />

Distinction of the sounds w — v, d͡ʒ — t͡ʃ is not obligatory, that is they may be pronounced in the same way, as there are no [[minimal pairs]] for them. The ŋ sound is the same as in English (in -ing ending).

== Development and use ==
The project is led by the psychologist Dmitri Ivanov. He laid the foundation of the language, using mainly the ideas of [[Otto Jespersen]] on the [[Novial]] language, and also the facts of [[Creole language]] development and structure, while linguists A. Vinogradova and E. Ivanova helped a lot during the early period of development. In 2007 A. Lysenko joined and became the main linguist of the project.<ref name="journal" />

From the very beginning the project was open and widely discussed in a number of [[conlanger]] groups.<ref>[https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/auxlang/conversations/messages for example]</ref> As of 2014, more than 15 people contributed to the language considerably (that is, worked on vocabulary and grammar, translated and wrote original texts, including songs),<ref name="journal" /> not speaking about those who participated in discussions.

The basic version of the language was published on June 1, 2010.<ref name="journal" /> In some sources,<ref>{{cite book|author=Libert, Alan Reed / Moskovsky, Christo |url=http://www.peterlang.com/download/datasheet/56178/datasheet_59678.pdf |title=Aspects of the Grammar and Lexica of Artificial Languages |location=Frankfurt am Main, Berlin, Bern, Bruxelles, New York, Oxford, Wien |year=2011 |page=180 |isbn=978-3-631-59678-4 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924072046/http://www.peterlang.com/download/datasheet/56178/datasheet_59678.pdf |archive-date=2015-09-24 }}</ref> the date of creation of Lidepla is stated to be 2006. It is thus important to clarify that the "basic version" of the language – that is, the version after which the basics of the language is not to be changed – was not published until 2010.<ref name="journal" />

At the moment the language is used mainly on the Internet, when it comes to direct communication. About 10–15 people have mastered the language, and about 50 can use it in communication.<ref name="journal" /> A lot of texts have been translated, including rather spacious texts like ''[[Alice's Adventures in Wonderland]]'' by [[Lewis Carroll]],<ref>{{cite book| author = L. Carroll | title = Alisa-ney Aventura in Divalanda | orig-year = Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland | edition = 1| location = Cnoc Sceichín, Leac an Anfa, Cathair na Mart, Co. Mhaigh Eo, Éire| year = 2014 | publisher = Evertype | pages = 150 | isbn = 978-1-78201-071-5}}</ref> and ''Sailor Ruterford in Maori captivity'' by [[:ru:Николай Чуковский|Nikolay Chukovsky]] (son of [[Korney Chukovsky]]; translated from Russian),<ref name="journal" /> and also some tales. There are songs both written and translated, including an album by musician [[:eo:Jonny M|Jonny M]],<!-- (article in Esperanto Wikipedia) --> and subtitles made for cartoons and movies (like the popular Russian film ''[[Ivan Vasilievich: Back to the Future]]'').<ref name="journal" />
