Regelluga, a personal language, was developed by Ben Poplawski.


Language sources

Latin, Greek, and Esperanto; some points of grammar were influenced by Quenya and Valavya; and someone knowledgeable of Japanese will recognize some roots.

Design principles

It is inflectional in nature, with affixation to roots producing words. As in Latin, the suffixes are grammar-related while the prefixes are primarily prepositions. There is no vowel infixing, except in the case of roots of similar meaning (e.g. hep "to breathe", hop "to blow"). The one case of consonant infixing is the formation of the conditional/subjunctive mood. Euphony and sounding good to me were factors, too.
