About

A language you can finish learning.

Amadunia — ama love, dunia world — is a constructed world auxiliary language built on one principle: take the easiest feature from every language. If a sound or a rule is hard for anyone on Earth, it is out.

Esperanto proved in 1887 that a constructed language can live, but its roots are almost entirely European. Amadunia draws from the largest language families of the whole world:ba (eight) is Chinese, pat (four) is Indonesian and Tagalog, ca (tea) is at home in Chinese, Hindi, Turkish, Swahili and Russian alike,dunia spans Arabic, Hindi, Swahili, Indonesian and Turkish,ama is Latin, kita is Indonesian. Every continent should hear something familiar.

Design rules5

What the language holds itself to.

  1. Zero exceptions

    Every rule works everywhere. A word that would need a rule of its own is not admitted.

  2. Written as spoken

    One letter, one sound. No silent letters, no letter that can be read two ways.

  3. No conjugation, no gender, no articles

    Grammar you can learn in a day. The verb never changes; one pronoun covers he and she.

  4. Global balance

    No language family dominates. The dictionary lists each word's sources so this can be checked.

  5. Already-global words stay

    hi, ok, taksi, foto — vocabulary the world already shares is free.

Status101 roots

Under construction, in public.

Amadunia was born on September 2, 2026. The vocabulary stands at 101 roots; the target for A1 is 300, because compounding does the rest. Milestones: 80 → 180 → 300.

Phonology, alphabet, numbers, tense, plurals, possession, questions, pronouns, the copula and the first words are settled. Where time and place words go, and how to say not, are still being decided. Follow the commits in the language repository to watch a language grow in real time.
