Vocabulary:

* 482 roots, derived from 133 languages.
See the Roots or Statistics pages on the website for details.

* SASXSEK-English dictionary: 1555 entries and growing.

* English-SASXSEK dictionary: 2172 Entries and growing.

* A few more roots have been changed.

* Adverbs now use a "-i" suffix when qualifying verbs, the "-e" suffix
is only used when an adverb qualifies another qualifier (adjective or
adverb) to avoid confusion among multiple qualifiers.

* Some particles have been added which allow word order to be more
flexible. "o" is used to introduce the subject of a sentence, but
only in cases where is does not directly precede the verb. Likewise,
the particle "u" can be used for objects which do not directly follow
the verb. This is particularly useful for moving focus words to the
beginning of a sentence.

Ex:

fo tat ho fu so.
you give what to him.
You gave what to him?

u ho fo tat fu so.
{obj.} what you give to him.
What did you give to him?


fen fu so o [Yoshi].
go to here {subj.} Yoshi.
Come here, Yoshi.


* An emphatic particle "aj" has been added to emphasize words within a
sentence.

* CVCVCVC roots will soon be introduced, mostly for scientific or
technical words which are not expect to be used often in everday
conversation.

* A manual alphabet for the deaf has been added.

* I am also looking to get some help from anyone with experience in
sign languages to help develop the gestured version of SASXSEK. The
current plan is to adapt Gestuno/ISL.

* Vocabulary suggestions are still welcomed. Please submit words
which fit the CVC/CVCVC/CVCVCVC format from any natural language for
consideration.

* The language has almost reached a point where I can start publishing
texts. Expect a translation of the Babel Text soon.



Website:

* Continually being updated to contain the most recent SASXSEK
information possible.
