Babeliro (sometimes also spelled Babéliro or BABÉLIRO) is a constructed international auxiliary language (IAL) created by Victor Aurelius in 2024.[1] that focuses on the principle of "a philosophical language designed to think more logically"[2]. The name relates "Babel" an imaginary land where Babeliro comes from, as reference to the biblical tower of Babel. As other international auxiliary language, it is intended to be a universal second language for international communication, however it has the claim of being design for improving logical and and language skills[3].
Alphabet and pronunciation
[edit]The Babeliro alphabet is based on the Latin script and contains the following 21 letters only upper case, representing 21 phonemes[4]:
| Letter | A | B | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | R | S | T | U | Y | X |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IPAphonemes | a | b~ | d | e | f | g | h | i | d͡ʒ | k | l | m | n | o | p | r | s | t | u | ʃ | t͡ʃ |
| Name | A | BO | DU | E | FU | GA | HE | I | JO | KO | LI | ME | NI | O | PA | RI | SI | TA | U | YU | XE |
Babeliro additionally uses four letters of the Latin script to represent the following filler sounds:
- W = for flat tone humming noise (i.e. ˧), to mean indifference answers = MU
- V = for low rising tone humming noise (i.e. ˨˩), to mean affirmative answers = SI
- Z = for mute t sound, to mean negative answers = NO
- Q = for a click sound, to mean undecided answers = KUAK
The letter C is not used.
Stress
[edit]The general rules regarding the stress are the following in order of decreasing hierarchy[2]:
- The stress is on the vowel before the last consonant of any root word (underscored). Examples: BABÉLIRO (Babeliro).
- When a word is composed two root words, the stress is on the vowel before the last consonant of the first root word (underscored). Examples: FÚNDIMENTOS (foundations).
- Words with suffixes for past tense (-Á) and future tense (-ÚS) are stressed in the end. Examples: MAKÁ (made); SERÚS (will be).
Description and grammar
[edit]Babeliro was born with the idea to create a language on the basis of logic. That results in Babeliro's grammar emanating from the concept of the W (neither being, nor not being). This concept evolves to create all concepts in Babeliro.
The indifference of the MU, then evolves into affirmative (SI), negative (NO) and undecided (KUAK) choices. From there, Babeliro logically deduces phrase connectors in different situations[5]:
| ∪ = MU [W] | ⊤ = SI [V] | ⊥ = NO [Z] | ∩ = KUAK [Q] | |
| ∪ = MU [W] | ∪⥽∪ = □ =
MUM [W⥽W] = any |
⊤⥽∪ = ∧ = AND =
I [V⥽W] = and |
⊥⥽∪ =
DEMAS [Z⥽W] = too |
∩⥽∪ = ◇ =
KIY [Q⥽W] = maybe |
| ⊤ = SI [V] | ∪⥽⊤ =
RADER [W⥽V] = rather |
⊤⥽⊤ = ∀ =
TUT [V⥽V] = all/also |
⊥⥽⊤ = ¬⟡ =
SOM [Z⥽V] = some |
∩→⊤ = ⊕ = XOR =
IDER [Q⥽V] = either |
| ⊥ = NO [Z] | ∪⥽⊥ =
INSTED [W⥽Z] = rather not |
⊤⥽⊥ = ¬∀ = ↑= NAND =
KUAS [V⥽Z] = almost |
⊥⥽⊥ = ⟡ =
NON [Z⥽Z] = none |
∩→⊥ = ¬⊕ = ↓ = NOR =
NIDER [Q⥽Z] = neither |
| ∩ = KUAK [Q] | ∪⥽∩ = ∨ = OR =
ODER [W⥽Q] = or |
⊤⥽∩ =
MUX [V⥽Q] = much |
⊥⥽∩ =
POK [Z⥽Q] = few |
∩⥽∩ =
MAIY [Q⥽Q] = but |
Those then derive into all determinants by adding singular noun markers (-O), plural noun markers (-OS) and possessive endings (-EPA / -IUSO). The ordinal and cardinal numbers also derive from this logic.
Babeliro's logic then produces then all prepositions by creating a logical table between each other[6]:
| ENKLES
[XENXEN] (including) |
ENAT
[PASXEN] (into) |
DUNEY
[DUSXEN] (inwards) |
KONEN
[KONXEN] (since now) |
| XENAT
[XENPAS] ( inside) |
ANTA
[PASPAS] ( before) |
UNTRA
[DUSPAS] ( between) |
KONAT
[KONPAS] (since past) |
| ENTUR
[XENDUS] (among) |
DARUNT

EKSDU

EKSKONEN
[NOKONXEN] (no since now) |
| ALIKSTER

EKSANTE

EKSTRA

EKSKONAT
[NOKONPAS] (no since past) |
| IKSTER
[NOXENDUS] (not among) |
NODARUNT
[NOPASDUS] (not during) |
EKSPOS
[NODUSDUS] (not after) |
EKSKONDU
[NOKONDUS] (no since future) |
| EKSENKON
[NOXENKON] (no from now) |
EKSANTAKON
[NOPASKON] (no from past) |
EKSFUTKON
[NODUSKON] (no from future) |
NOBOR
[NOKONKON] (never) |
Note: In the preposition table above, all names on the top are the synonym naming (i.e. BABÉLIREKO), between [ ] there's the logical naming (i.e. BABÉLIRO) and the translation to English.
Finally all the main verbs are created through the same logic[7]
