Slovio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Slovio (from the Slavic slovo "word") is a constructed language begun in 1999 by Mark Hučko. Hučko claims that the language should be relatively easy for non-Slavs to learn as well, as an alternative to tongues such as Esperanto which are based more on Latin root words. The vocabulary is based on the shared lexical foundation of the Slavic languages. As of October 2007, Slovio had over 44,000 words.
