'''Cân Gert''' is a [[philosophical language|philosophical]], [[artistic language|artistic]] language created by [[User:Frederic Bayer|Frederic Bayer]]. Its name means "short language" in Cân Gert, and brevity is among its major design goals. It features a strongly [[w:isolating language|isolating]] but partly [[w:agglutinating language|agglutinating]] morphology. The name is a nod to its original inspiration, [[Toki Pona]], whose own name means "good language". | '''Cân Gert''' is a [[philosophical language|philosophical]], [[artistic language|artistic]] language created by [[User:Frederic Bayer|Frederic Bayer]].

The language is [[a priori]] in the sense that it is not derived from another language by way of regular sound changes and identifiable diachronic grammatical developments.
