Eucosmy is a philosophical auxlang growing on cognitive linguistics. It has five main goals, according to the creator Escha[1]:

  1. To found a universal literary (especially philosophico-scientific) community to which all human beings, whichever whose native language is, have an equally easiest access.
  2. To lay the indispensable foundation for a thorough world literature & world philosophy.
  3. To emancipate the human mind from the irremediable hamperings of the traditional languages: mal-terminology (such as “socialism”), ambiguity (such as “monopoly” in economics), babelism (such as “left”/”right” in politics), sex-partiality & gender-exclusivity (such as “man”, “Mrs.”, “her”, “wife”) etc.
  4. To enrich the human spirit by assimilating all the positive elements of all the ethnic languages into a common pool.
  5. To contribute to the cause of world liberty: free trade, free migration and even anarchical peace.

Phonotactics

Eucosmy's syllable structure is C(V₁)V(S̥,N,l,r,V₁), V₁ being a high vowel other than /ɨ/.

in CV syllables, ⟨‘⟩ or ⟨_⟩ may be omitted.

For the sake of formatting, the rest of this article and other Linguifex pages will use a slightly different orthography: ⟨~, 1, 2, 3⟩ for /ɨ, ˥, ˩˥, ˥˩/.

Morphology

Nouns

Nouns are marked by high tone, except see below.

Definiteness is marked with articles ‘~ (indefinite) and h~ (definite). See also Pronouns.

Pronouns

Pronouns are as follows.

Demonstrative Personal
this thing (by speaker) iä1 1st person ia1
that thing (by listener) üä1 2nd person üa1
? ïä1 ? ïa1
that thing (by neither) uä1 3rd person ua1

Low tone can be applied to demonstrative and personal pronouns in place of high tone to form demonstrative adjectives and possessive pronouns respectively. This can also be done to articles to form relative pronouns.

Adjectives

Adjectives are marked by rising tone.

When preceding their noun they are attributive, and when following they are predicative.

Adjectives may also function as verbs.

Verbs

Adjectives are marked by falling tone.

Voice is marked with particles s~ (active), s’~ (relative), z~ (passive).

Adverbs

Adpositions

Numerals

Numerals are marked as ordinal by rising tone and cardinal by falling tone. They are as follows (excluding tone marking).

0 1 2 3 4
‘ä ‘i ‘ee ‘e ‘ae
5 6 7 8 9
‘a ‘ao ‘o ‘oo ‘u
10¹ 10² 10³ 10⁴
‘ü ‘oe ‘ö ‘oa
? ? ? ?
‘ï ‘eo ‘ë ‘ea

Derivational morphology

Syntax

Constituent order

Verb order in Eucosmy is free; in active clauses the agent must precede the patient, and in passive clauses the agent must follow the patient.

Noun phrase

Adjective may either precede or follow their noun, but with different respective meanings. See Adjectives.

Dependent clauses
