Eucosmy is a philosophical auxlang growing on cognitive linguistics. It has five main goals, according to the creator Escha[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.
- To lay the indispensable foundation for a thorough world literature & world philosophy.
- 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.
- To enrich the human spirit by assimilating all the positive elements of all the ethnic languages into a common pool.
- To contribute to the cause of world liberty: free trade, free migration and even anarchical peace.

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
