Kœtetekian is a language I made back in 2018, then modified and uploaded in 2026. Its main gimmick is having too less words so very normal words are very long combinations. See "cousin" or "Loch Ness Monster" for example. Only me and my patescatesβaβa can speak it; and only I can speak it fluently. | |||

Kœtetekian is a language I made back in 2018, then modified and uploaded in 2026. Its main gimmick is having too less words so very normal words are very long combinations. See "cousin" or "Loch Ness Monster" for example. Only me and my patescatesβaβa can speak it; and only I can speak it fluently.
WARNING: I don't know much about conlangs, so it's not that impressive. And all of this is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 International, I think. Happy creating Kœtetekian content, I guess?

n = Normal / As Prefix / Mathematical / Legacy (Optional)
Digit List
0 = Cero / Zer / Noβ
1 = Une / Une / Sigg

As Prefix
"To termeles biy-muss." -> You have two muscles (biceps).
Mathematical (Optional)
"Sigg et sigg leme doin." -> One and (plus) one is (equals) two.
Legacy
Used when writing ordinal numbers or numbers between 11-19.
For example;
1st, 2nd, 3rd != Unevo, Dönvo, Trittvo;
1st, 2nd, 3rd = Unevo, Donévo, Trittvo;
or;

Parenthesis

Une (Dön Toc) Thount = One (Twenty) Thousand = 20,001
Une Dön Toc Thount = Twenty One Thousand = 21,000
( = Unen Parateset
) = Ceren Parateset

Making New Words
Since Kœtetekian is a small language, there should be a way to create new words. There's actually 2 ways:
By Existing Words
pond = minituréaqunmar (small water sea)
dinosaur = dinovta
Loch Ness Monster = minituréaqunmardinovta
By Non-Existing Words
1. Get a word from a Latin (French, Italian, Spanish, Romanian, Moldavian etc.) language -> universidad ("university" in Spanish)
2. Modify it a bit -> universtad
3. Make it satisfying for Kœtetekian grammar -> universtar
4. Congrats, new word! (go to a school with high importance -> universtar)
(This is an example, not an actual word in Kœtetekian)
