Hello everyone
So about a year ago I started working on an international auxiliary language and a paper describing the process of making it. Now that the paper has been finally graded i decided to share this conlang with you. This google doc contains the whole paper. In summary; to make te munwa lengwa a truly international language I tried to specifically solve some problems with it that eperanto suffers from. I also tried to make it as similar as possible to the four world's most spoken languages: English, spanish, mandarin and hindi. At the end of the paper there is an esperanto text which I translated to te munwa lengwa.
The paper is in german however and it is also very much focused on how the features of the language came to be. So to properly show you this conlang, in the next few weeks, I will do a series of posts describing te munwa lengwa in english and from a learner's perspective. I will post an english version of the lexicon too, as well as a list containing the process of how I came up with the words in that lexicon. The lexicon and the word origins are also available in the paper.
If you speak spanish, mandarin and hindi natively, I would be happy if you could maybe read through the list of word origins and point out any obvious mistakes or words that i misused. I don't speak any of those three languages, so I relied on the internet as well as complicated reference grammars for my research and there will probably be some errors.
Feel free to dm me if you want a pdf of one of the papers in my sources or if you want a nicely formatted pdf of the paper itself or if you have any other questions regarding this project.
