Koinean is a brief sketchlang, attempting to take the growing non-configurationality of vernacular Korean and extend it to the level of Koiné/Attic Greek.  While Ancient Greek could match distant words by case, number, and gender, Koinean matches by case and class.  The verb inflectional structure is as big as the λύω chart, some 400 conjugations per verb.  It is written in the polytonic Greek alphabet.  (Unfortunately, it also requires a Unicode hack, that of a combining character in order to write upsilons with iota subscripts.)  It is also meant as an instructional aide to Koreans in learning Ancient Greek.

Koinean is a brief sketchlang, attempting to take the growing non-configurationality of vernacular Korean and extend it to the level of Koiné Greek.  While Ancient Greek could match distant words by Case/Number/Gender, Koinean matches by Case/Honor/Class.  The verb inflectional structure is as big as a λυω chart.  It is written in the polytonic Greek alphabet, and requires the extension of Unicode by combining characters to write upsilons with iota subscript.  It is also meant as an instructional aide to Korean in learning NT Greek.
