Aspies For Freedom

so kazu had said something was retarded, but he didn't Mean mental retardation as a bad thing, and then i said its just like saying gay, and that we should make up a new word, and couldbecousin said yes we should.


so coveg is the new word.

is new bad word, reffers to someone being intolerant, illogical, and unreasonable.

is autlang like other languages? and not like English and German? to be only one pronunciation for a verb?


if its not can it be? becuase that would be so much better.

a = ah
e = ay
i = ee
u = oo
o = oh



like spanish and japanese and some of french and some of german/english etc..

effection terms;
ko : love
koki : puppy love
koi :  beloved
ku : crush
naku : one-sided crush
nako : unrequited love
nai : loveless - void of or without love (not hate)
ere : dislike
fere : hate
ni : suffix for affection terms to give i.e. "koni ri" means "i love you" formed like "love is to you"
so : affection
soru : any formal greeting affection i.e. shake hands
sora : any casual greeting effection i.e. hug
sori : a kiss goodbye or hello
sona : hug
soni : snuggle
soka: kiss
fu : hurt
fuko : pain from love, the expression "love hurts"

ditto, that is what links Spanish to Japanese, and why i was able to learn both at once.

Personally, I would go for German, since the discoverer of AS was Austrian, which ethnically is German.

Well, Hans Asperger, the discoverer of our wonderful difference known as AS, was Austrian. Austria, along with Germany, Luxembourg, Liechestien, and parts of Switzerland, Poland, Northern Italy and the Czech Republic, happen to be German. It would be in honour of him in a sense. Aspergia would be Aspergerreich in German.

i dont like most of those words, autlaung is supposed to be easy to read, write, speak, etc. and all of those words except al are indeed not easy for me.

germanis one of teh hardest languages  to learnt o speak, like english, so its a bad idea.

part of teh point of the langauge, il repeat, is taht it be easy for verbally chalanaged autsitics to learn it and have an alternative to english germanand other common languages.

Oops, I guess it says on the site. But what about infinitives, and is there a past participle?

Oops, I guess it illustrates on the site that the -n form is present participle. But what about infinitives, and is there a past participle?

I only really understood what all these grammar words mean about a year ago, I just haven't gotten over the excitement.

A participle is a form of a verb that is used as an adjective.

In English a present participle ends in -ing. It's called a present participle because it refers to an action that's taking place at the time you're talking about (a dog that eats is an eating dog). The noun that an English present participle describes is the one that does the action.

In English the past participle is normally the same as the past tense, but with irregular verbs it usually isn't. "Ate" is past tense but "eaten" is past participle. It's called a past participle because the action took place before the time you're talking about (the food the dog ate is eaten food). In English it normally describes the noun the action was done to, like in the example I just gave. But sometimes it describes the noun that did the action, as in "fallen leaves". I think it might be awkward if autlang doesn't have a participle to describe the noun the action is done to. In my own opinion, it would be less confusing if this participle wasn't used like "fallen" in "fallen leaves".

"Gerund" and "infinitive" are forms of a verb that work as nouns. In English a gerund ends in -ing just like a present participle. An English infinitive is a verb with "to" in front of it, but in other languages is usually one word as far as I know. They are normally interchangeable ("The dog likes eating"  and "The dog likes to eat" mean the same thing) so autlang should only need one form for both, if it doesn't have one yet.

If this explanation isn't very clear, hopefully someone else can explain what I mean better.

Even without expressing very many new concepts that aren't in other languages, it would be good for autistics to be able to communicate with each other in a language that has a regular structure (unlike natural languages).

I mean a spoken and written language just like English, Japanese and so on except without irregularities in the spelling and grammar. Esperanto is like this already, but I don't like that its vocabulary is totally western European, and it's the best people have come up with so far. Most people can see the advantages of a reformed language (I think and hope) but very few actually want to go to the trouble of adjusting to the change. I bet the average aspie cares about the advantages of a logical language a lot more than the average NT does, though.

I didn't intend "logical" in a strict sense, only in the sense of having consistent rules without arbitrary exceptions. Otherwise, a language can only be as logical as the minds of the people who use it. That said, I am certainly going to try to find out more about lojban and its basic principles.
