:Českoen is more of a semi-spooflang, in the sense that it was created with a whole history behind it. It was supposed to be very simple and analytic, but with a tradition that claimed it was indeed quite complex and a "school" trying to revive awareness of its complexity, I had fun parodying notions of "better languages" or "complex = good". In its backstory the ''Ezgizo Ezgeskoinama'' school fought the ''Azgizu'' school for control over the teaching of the language. The idea was a language that sounded pretty much like [[w:Huttese|Jabba the Hutt's Huttese]] but with minimal class prefixes for noun and adjective, singular and plural. | :Českoen is more of a semi-spooflang, in the sense that it was created with a whole history behind it.

:This language was sparked by a mention in Tolkien's ''The Monsters and the Critics'' about how he overheard a man deciding he would "mark the accusative with a prefix", so I ran with the idea. The language is pretty CVCV and marks cases with prefixes rather than suffixes. | :This language was sparked by a mention in Tolkien's ''The Monsters and the Critics'' about how he overheard a man deciding he would "mark the accusative with a prefix", so I ran with the idea.
