Ardlang (/aɾd'laŋg/) is a worldlang. Its main features are a regular phonetic inventory, a SVO sentence order and an a posteriori vocabulary that aims to defy Eurocentrism without renouncing to widely known translations. This approach is remarked by Ardlang's motto Ab hol dunya, pro hol dunya (From the whole world, for the whole world).

Phonology

Ardlang follows the "one sound one letter" principle. Some letters can be pronounced in two different ways in order to make the pronunciation easier to the majority of speakers. For example, a Russian or a French speaker would find more natural to pronunce j as /ʒ/, while an English or an Hindi one would rather choose /ʤ/. Both are equally valid and mutually interchangeable.

Alphabet

Ardlang alphabet has 26 letters. While its main version is written in the Latin system, Cyrillic characters can be used to with a strict correspondence.
