Intent and Purpose
Græko-Latina is intended as a way to take the international scientific and Græko-Latin vocabulary and make an International Auxiliary Language.  It arose from my disfavor with the vocabulary, phonology, etc. of other IALs such as Esperanto and Interlingua.  As a secondary matter, I hope it could be used by the Catholic Church as a way to simplify Latin to bring back for mass.

Introduction

Greko-Latina is intended as a way to take the international scientific and Greko-Latin vocabulary and make an International Auxiliary Language. It arose from my disfavor with the vocabulary, phonology, etc. of other IALs such as Esperanto and Interlingua. As a secondary matter, I hope it could be used by the Catholic Church as a way to simplify Latin to bring back for mass.


Phonology

Orthography

Greko-Latina uses the 26 standard letters of the Latin alphabet with the addition of æ and œ. All letters have their IPA values except c, q, and x, which are /t͡s or t͡ʃ/, /kʷ/, and /ʃ/ respectively. Four digraphs (ai, au, eu, oi) make the implied diphthong. Q does not pair with u, as in most European languages, as this is redundant.

This way the letters and digraphs have as close as possible to their pan-European values as possible while also being phonetic.

Consonants are never geminated.

Stress is always on the penultimate syllable.

The maximal syllable structure is <C><C><C><V><C><C>.

Constituent order

Since there are few inflections, a strict word order of SVO is required, and adjectives come after nouns.

Example texts

The Lord's Prayer:

"Nostro patre, ki stas in celo,

das a nos hodi nostro diese pane,
et dismisa nostro debito tam nos dismisa le debite de alio,
et no indukas nos a tentace,

Ka tutro stas la regita, potenca, et glori,
en eternita, amen."
