Linguifex will be changing authoritative nameservers for the domain this weekend (3-5 jan 2025), the change has been carefully planned to not cause any outages, but there is always a risk of disruption. This is part of the 2025 improvement program to beef up Linguifex to be faster, snappier and less prone to outages. |

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/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. | |||
