Short post today. I just wanted to show you a magnificent tool created by user "Crush" in the language learner's forum...

A course on Atlas words!

It includes pronunciation, and you can actually practice words by its language of origin, which is good too.

It is an incredible tool for Atlas, and very interesting and entertaining I have to say.

Aspect in Atlas: permanent or non-permanent?

So here we are again. This has been hot topic in various forums, and had a couple of questions about it via e-mail too, so let's do a post about it. Why not? First of all, what is aspect? Basically it indicates how an event spands over time. I am eating - I ate - I have eaten - I eat - ... There are many different kinds of aspect: - imperfective - perfective - pefect - aorist - prospective - ... Many languages have aspect as one of their features. Some do it via interfixes or suffixes (Spanish for instance), via particles (Chinese), or adverbs (Indonesian). Out of the aspects listed above (and many more), different languages use different aspects, and even if they use the same one, they can have different views on it. So take for instance the perfect aspect in Spanish and in English: - I have finished - Yo he acabado/acabé Some dialects in Spanish use the equivalent to the English ones, while others would use the perfective ("acabé") for the same situation.

Welcome!

Hi everyone! So this is the first post of this new auxlang called Atlas. Atlas is a new auxiliary language intended to be used as an international language. Its vocabulary is taken following these two rules: 10 most spoken languages (L1+L2) in the World: English, Chinese, Spanish, French, Russian, Hindi, Bengali, Indonesian-Malayan, Portuguese and Arabic. Apart from these ones, the 2 most spoken languages in each continent, provided that they are spoken by at least 1% of the population: German and Italian for Europe, Iranian* and Japanese for Asia, Swahili and Hausa for Africa. Languages from other continents did not meet the 1% (basically because the top 10 languages are widely spoken). *Iranian languages is a family of languaes widely spoken in Western Asia, including Kurdish, Farsi and Pashto. Chosen as a group because it is believed to have around 200 milion speakers, and because it represents another part of Asia. Other languages have more speakers than Kur

  I have recently decided to make a few and important changes that will take Atlas to a next level of simplicity and easiness. I am basically working on a system that modifies roots so that all of them are 3 letter words, thus making root identification much more simple, especially in compound words. Obviously that means some changes to the current roots. It also brings modifications to conjunctions, prepositions, etc. Which will adopt new forms in order to adapt to the new system. Other modifications introduced to make the language much more simple. Verb prefixes say goodbye to use, same to verb particles. A very easy system using roots will be replacing them. Verb aspects are reduced as well from 3 to 2 (permanent and non-permanent). These changes will be available very soon. The come after suggestions from Atlas supporters/learners/etc. and I think they are extremely handy. The new revision of the grammar will be updated very soon, and the new dictionary. You will have the ol
