Synopsis

Build a simple, practical global language that anyone can learn and use.

This edition outlines a speaking-focused plan for a universal tongue built on familiar foundations, not from scratch, with an emphasis on ease of use for people around the world.

The book explains how a world language should be easy to pronounce, written phonetically, and free of heavy inflection. It argues for short, simple roots drawn from widely used words, and for a regular grammar that reduces complexity while keeping clear meaning. The proposed system names the language Gab and lays out core components like phonetics, phonography, orthography, lexicography, grammar, and syntax.
What you’ll see in this guide:
  • A clear rationale for choosing English as a foundation, balanced with a goal of broad accessibility.
  • Rules for pronunciation, spelling, and word formation designed for rapid learning.
  • Practical examples showing how to build sentences and express ideas simply.
  • Notes on modeling a language that can be written and spoken by diverse communities.
Ideal for readers curious about language history, international communication, and how a practical world language might be built from existing speech patterns.
