Trurian was written by Jona J. Fras as an artlang. It has been used for a translation of the Babel Text.


Language sources

I drew substantial grammatical resources (such as case system and word order) from Latin, and others (such as feminine endings and the lack of a copula) from Semitic languages. The phonology was intended to look faintly Tolkien-Elvish in style - but has later evolved in a largely different, namely much more complex, direction.

Design principles

Regularity, comprehensibility, and close connection to the Culture of the people the language belongs to.

Interest of others

No, not to my knowledge.
