Language sources

Katialian (Kaţijaljna) is a Neo-Latin language. I evolved it into the current language from Lauren Italic, from Old Latin. Most of the evolution looks like Classical Latin up to the vowel shift (which makes some words look like English). Its influences are:

Largest Influences

Latin/Italian

Croatian/Bulgarian

Russian/Ukranian

Moderate Influences

Romanian/Dalmatian

Spanish

French

German/Old English

Gothic

Polish

Small Influences

Modern English

Albanian

Finnish

Greek

Modern Latin

Tiny Influences

Bengali

Iranian

Celtic

Pashto

Slovene

Georgian

Arabic

Design principles

I designed the language around nothing, really — it was just something I started when I was bored. Its principles today are to retain inflection and 'classicality' while infusing other influences.

Interest of others

I am the sole person who has done the work; however, there are some who would like to learn it.
