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...

Some news! and changes!

First of all, I would like to thank everyone who visits this website and shows interest in Atlas. I can see many people coming back regularly, even people sharing in forums etc. So a BIG thank you to everyone and keep doing that if you like, it is great for this project. Atlas is a month old now, and I can say the response has been very positive. So again, thank to everyone. As any other project, Atlas has experimented some changes from its initial version. The latest ones have been introduced very shortly. I do not anticipate to see any major changes from now on. The grammar is now fairly solid and even more simplified. So, what are the latest changes? - grammar has been updated with some more information: hours, use of reciprocals... - even more examples in the grammar, now with answers! so you can practice even more. - BIG changes to prepositions! number cut to more than half. Some prepositions have now multiple uses, where its final meaning will depend on context. - chang...
