Wug Nlab - a horrible derivative conlang

Post by H. H. P. M. P. Cole »

Finally, my conlang sketch is fleshed out... (Okay, I cheated. Most of the lexicon is based off another conlang.)

Feel free to ask any questions and give comments, because my conlanging skills are not very good...

I ahem, ahem improved the documentation - feel free to peruse it. The most important sections are this section and those below it.

It was terrible because I couldn't come up with a better highly mathematical/logical system of grammar, and I broke my brain over it [:3] (I might be misusing the term loglang here, AFAIK it has to have a logical system of grammar)

Nevertheless, the conlang stemmed from a simple thought experiment of mine, and I feel it works.

You can base your conlang on lambda calculus, with a few predefined functions as basic words and abstractions as a some kind of derivation.
