“Glosa Education Organizaton promotes the teaching of Glosa as a second language in schools world-wide. It also emphasizes that besides being an efficient means of international communication, Glosa offers advantages to general education.”

Glosa characteristics

GLOSA is an artificial language intended for use among people with different native, cultural, or national languages. It is an auxiliary language and has no purpose of supplanting or replacing any other languages. Its purpose is only to be a common means of communication for people of different languages.

Glosa has several distinguishing characteristics:

  1. Its structure is very simple and based on semantics. It is an analytical language with no inflexions, genders, or diacritical marks. Glosa does have ways of forming plurals, tenses, questions, etc., similar to Chinese and Malay, which use a word for each idea – these languages have no inflections. A small number of words handle grammatical relationships not otherwise provided for. Many Glosa words can serve as more than one part of speech as meaning and common sense allow.
  2. Glosa words are based on Latin and Greek roots common to the chief Euro-languages; via science, technology, and medicine, these words are penetrating all languages. Although a larger vocabulary is available, a base vocabulary of between 1000 and 2000 words handles most situations.
  3. Its pronunciation is simple and regular, and its spelling is phonetic.
  4. Above all, Glosa is neutral. Because it is no one’s own language, it is available to everyone without jealousy or resentment over the dominance of any one or a few national languages. Its use of Latin and Greek roots, many of which are already in widespread use, gives it internationality.

Some rules

Alphabet, spelling, pronounciation

Written Glosa uses the unaccented 26-letter Latin alphabet.

Spelling is phonetic: pronounce every letter;
double letters in source-words reduce to single letters;
Greek CH replaced by K, PH by F, RH by R, TH by T, Y by I.

Pronounce vowels as in these English words: fAther, cafE, machIne, mOre, lUnar
(English speakers should take care not to slur, reduce, or diphthongize vowels.)
Vowel pairs: pronounce the vowels separately.

Pronounce consonants as in English except:

C always as CH in CHurCH;
G always hard as in Go;
J as the Y in Yes;
Q as QU in QUick;
R always sounded, trilled if possible;
SC as the “sh” sound in neSCience.

Place stress gently on the vowel before the last consonant.

Punctuation:

Colon precedes items of a list;
Comma separates list items from each other; it also occurs after a vocative expression.
Semicolon separates principal and subordinate clauses; a clause is a group of words containing a finite verb.
Hyphen joins words closely associated semantically.

Word order

for accurate, easy, and quick understanding should be:

Subject (with accompanying adjectival and modifying cluster), Negative if required, Modal Verb, Main Verb, Indirect Object, and Direct Object. This order is preserved in Subordinate Clauses.

Nouns, names, idioms, help

“U(n)” and “plu” serve primarily as nouns markers when the sense is not otherwise clear. They are not necessary (but are permissible) after a preposition.

Use genus name for plants and animals. When possible, use local geographical names.

Do not translate idioms literally word for word; express in clear, unidiomatic Glosa.
