Socialese is a constructed language created by Eddy Ohms, specifically a philosophical language based on existentialism, socialism, and other concepts. It is characteristically oligosynthetic (having few morphemes) and polysynthetic (relying heavily on inflections) making it quite different than Western languages such as English or Spanish.

[edit] Goals

According to its creator, the goals of Socialese are:

Simplicity — The grammar, though quite different from English grammar, is very regular and lacks tenses, plurals, and many other distinctions.
Non-eurocentricity — The language borrows few influences from European languages.
Socialism — the words for socialist/anarchist politics and economics do not have negative connotations, in contrast to what Ohms feels is the case in English.

[edit] Influences

Socialese was created quite recently ^[specify], but Ohms has stated that it is based on concepts that stretch back for decades or more. Many of the philosophical concepts that it incorporates go back to the 1800s, for example. Existentialism began with Kierkegaard and Nietzsche and socialism also made its real debut in the 1800s, being advocated by Marx and Proudhon.

Ohm cites the conlang Pravic, created by anarchist and SF author Ursula le Guin, as one influence, although he points out that Navajo, Japanese, and Korean have also influenced it to various degrees.
