Gladilatian is for the gladifers, the dominant species of the Milky Way and was created by Dennis Paul Himes. It is written with a unique script.

Uniqueness

Gladilatian lacks verbs, with every sentence being a copula, and each conjunction consists of one word before the last conjunct and another before each of the other conjuncts. Syntax is strict. Vocabulary is a priori. The site has a dictionary of 300 words, a grammar, sample texts and a unique script. Each conjunction consists of one word before the last conjunct and another before each of the other conjuncts. I have not seen this anywhere else, although I wasn't trying for uniqueness when I designed that part of the language.

Language sources

none (at least not consciously).

Design principles

Gladalatian has no verbs; every sentence is a copula. Syntax is strict. Vocabulary is a priori.

Interest of others

Others have commented on it (having seen the webpages), but no one else is really involved.
