Gevey was designed by Rik Roots as the language of the continent of Ewlah on the planet Kallieda. It has been used for a translation of the Babel Text. It is written with a unique script.


Language sources

Bits and pieces from all over, to be honest. The lexicon is almost entirely a priori.

Design principles

Gevey has an agglutinative approach with isolating touches. Topic/comment syntax plays a strategic role in word order, and conjunctions have a key role in determining clause types.

Interest of others

The Gevey Language Resource website is best thought of as an "art installation", and should be of interest to those who view conlanging as an art form.
