Introduction
The language is called Neo however Neo is only a placeholder. You see, this language is constructed by mutual intelligibility involving borrowing from different languages. However, I want this language to naturally evolve over time by coining new words, making sound changes etc. There are only 6 words you are allowed to define and all others have to coined or learned through guides or through immersion. They are:
Nao- No (Coming from Portuguese word for Not)
Evet-Yes (Coming from Turkish word for yes )
Ka- What( Coming from Viossa, and shout out to them for the inspiration )
Me-I
Khowti-Understand ( coming from Thai )
Dravo-Hello( Coming from zdravo in slavic languages )
Grammar
The grammar is defined but its still flexible. There is no set word order, but the preferred word order is VSO( Verb Subject Object ). or SVO( Subject Verb Object. The cases tend to be the nominative, the accusative, the genitive, the dative and the vocative. Cases generally what part a thing is playing in a sentence. A subject, an object, an indirect object,etc. The tenses are past, present, future and conditional. Aspects are going to be defined through immersion and communication. Pronouns will also be defined through immersion but I am thinking about singular, dual and plural pronouns and no gramatical gender. However, this could change as different words and sound changes start to take effect
How can you join?
The discord server is this: https://discord.gg/Jckcy9xh But if you don't have access to discord then you could do it on jetpunk friend groups although preferrably the discord. I'll show my opening message here.
Rules
1) Be respectful. This is meant to be a positive learning space about this conlang and I will not tolerate harassment, disrespect or anything inappropriate.
2) Don't speak your native language in Neo-only servers. This should go without saying, but you must speak the language in the Neo only servers
3) Don't go overly off topic. Things must relate to the language being learned.
4) Don't overly spam me. While its fine to learn from me, the majority of learning must be done through immersion and guides.
5) Have fun with this language!

Outro
Overall, have fun. Join the discord or Jetpunk friend group if you want. I've scrapped my old language that I made called Panamericana.
Remember what happened to Esperanto?
