Dha-Patu, an [[fictional diachronic language, was invented by Karl Jahn. It has been used for a translation of the Babel Text. It is written with a unique script.
Uniqueness
Dha-Patu is completely analytical; it has only two parts of speech, radicals and particles; it has sets of particles that form noun and verb phrases, classify the nouns and define the functions of the verbs; it has an artificial core vocabulary, expanded by loans from natural languages (mainly Greek and Latin). The grammar was conceived entirely on a priori logical principles, and the core vocabulary was generated by random combinations of the given letters. The site features a dictionary of over 1,250 words, a grammar and sample texts.
