An overview of these languages follows :— + +## Languages of Current Interest + +### The Jastu‐Sevensi Languages + +**Language code:** `art-x-jsv` (use a more specific code if possible) + +#### Preclassical Sevensi + +**Language code:** `art-x-xjs` + +Preclassical Sevensi is the earliest form of the Sevensi language, +based upon the words and grammars of Pre–Jastu‐Sevensi (described +below). Its vocabulary is limited and highly-productive, and its +grammar is comparatively simple and straightforward. It exists as a +basis for Classical Sevensi, and is not intended to be a complete and +usable language in its own right. + +#### Classical Sevensi + +**Language code:** `art-x-osv` + +Classical Sevensi is an early language intended to be fully usable for +the creation of sophisticated works. Its phonology and grammar, while +developed from Preclassical Sevensi, are significantly more complex. + +#### Modern Sevensi + +**Language code:** `art-x-svi` + +Modern Sevensi is, to a significant extent, a simplification of +Classical Sevensi aimed at being easy to learn and use. + +## Historical Language Efforts + +These languages are considered “noncanonical”, meaning that they are +not taken to comprise part of the fictional history of Langdev +languages and should not be attested in new works. + +### The “7c” Languages + +These languages were developed by [Lady][] while she was in high +school. Work on these languages had probably begun by 2009 and +definitely by 2010, and ceased sometime in 2012 in favour of the +successor Jastugay language. Later, these languages were incorporated +into the starting lexicon for Pre–Jastu‐Sevensi, which forms the basis +of Preclassical Sevensi as described above. + +The 7c languages share a common feature of being developed iteratively +from an extremely small starting base. Each iteration was assigned a +number; for Eho the numbers range from Ⅰ–ⅠⅤ, for Elrex from Ι–ⅤⅠ, and +for Jastulae from Ι–ⅤⅠⅠⅠ. Project Langdev makes no claims as to whether +this was a good or practical way to develop a language. + +#### Eho + +**Language code:** `art-x-eho` + +The Eho language had the smallest starting lexicon of the 7c languages, +with just two words. Only four iterations were completed, at which time +the final lexis was still only 15 words. + +The name “Eho” is derived from “East Hope”, an English exonym for the +fictional location from which the language was thought to originate. +The name was only used in supplemental materials; in actual language +documentation the symbol □ was used instead. + +#### Elrex + +**Language code:** `art-x-lrx` + +The Elrex language was highly onomatopœic, with a large number of +vowels and a lexicon which tended to deal in feelings or emotions. Five +iterations were completed; the sixth was started but never finished. + +The name “Elrex” derives from the pronunciation of “Lrex”, itself an +abbreviated form of “Lendrex” ⟨< PIE \*lendʰ +“land” + \*h₃rḗǵs “king”⟩, an exonym for the +fictional location from which the language was thought to originate. + +#### Jastulae + +**Language code:** `art-x-jtl` + +Jastulae is the most advanced of the 7c languages, developed through +eight full iterations and, in its final form, consisting of a +substantial lexis and rudimentary grammar. It is the only 7c language +to have an endonym; the word jāsto͡olæ in +Jastulae ⅤⅠⅠⅠ means “speaking people”. Prior to the development of this +word, the language was known vernacularly by the name Trustian, +and in documentation by the symbol ⊻. + +### Jastugay + +**Language code:** `art-x-jst`; historically also `x-XX-jt` + +Jastugay, natively written Jästugā, was a refinement and +expansion of Jastulae ⅤⅠⅠⅠ (described above). The boundary between the +two is somewhat fuzzy; Jastugay is distinguished by having a more +refined grammatical system even as it shares much of the same +vocabulary. Work on this language primarily occurred in 2012 and 2013. + +Only one text in Jastugay was ever produced: a short snippet of story +titled Pə dätzē āʒo dāʒo. This text +notably does not line up precisely with the language as documented and +likely predates several innovations, placing it somewhere on the +boundary between the Jastulae and Jastugay dialects. + +### Pre–Jastu‐Sevensi + +**Language code:** `art-x-jsv-0009` + +Pre–Jastu‐Sevensi forms the foundation for all of the Jastu‐Sevensi +languages. It was developed starting in 2015 by refining Jastugay and +incorporating aspects of the other 7c languages. + +The version of this language which is actually “attested” is known as +Preclassical Sevensi (see above); development on Pre–Jastu‐Sevensi is +now frozen. + +## Rights & Licence + +The contents of this repository are marked with [CC0 1.0](./COPYING) +and released by their author into the public domain. + +[Lady]: https://www.ladys.computer/about/#lady
