Introduction

This book describes the major phonological, orthographic, syntactic, and semantic properties of Najan, my first and so far only conlang. Najan is an a priori, analytic, isolating conlang featuring perfectly phonemic orthography, an unambiguous context-free grammar, and pronoun binding and quantification rules inspired by first-order logic. The Najan name for Najan is kʊ​naj​vɪx [kʰʊ näʒ vɪɾ̥].

I have no formal linguistic training, so the language is not very naturalistic or elaborate as far as conlangs go. Nevertheless, it’s been a joy to work on, and I’m happy with how it has evolved and am excited to share it with others.

Soli Deo gloria.
