How is Solresol spoken? I are there defacto ways? is pitch absolute or relative?

(Reply to above) I think pitch is relative, since it's based on solfege (i.e. key doesn't matter). Kind of like, instead of "a b c# d" you might just have "do re mi fa" instead. Don't think it's actually "spoken" much anymore, though... Weien 08:18, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Eco 1993 gives 1827, not 1817, as the date for the beginning of Solresol's creation. The only early book I can find mention of was published in 1866, but Eco says Soudre "worked forty-five years perfecting his language", won a 10K franc prize in 1855, and a gold medal at the London Exposition in 1862 - so obviously he had been publicizing the language for some years before the book was published. Does anyone know where the date 1817 comes from, or if it's just a typo? If the language was "finished" in 1866, that "45 years" implies he started about 1821. --Jim Henry 21:18, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I am one of the really rare persons to have the book from 1866. I did read that different small editions did maked. But really small. The reason can be, that Sudre did try all the time a/ to perfect his language and b/ to find a real good buyer (the Army!). And he did dead before he did have success! His wife did publish the language after he died. It is possible that she did have problems to find money to edit the complete work (it is an very expensiv matter because of the printing of musical notes!) and that can be the reason of the divers little editions. - oui 18:26, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 1866?

Gajewski's book says that Sudre died in 1862. How could he possibly publish anything in 1866? Alex Kapranoff 15:11, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)

Hi, his wife did that! The book answer the question! - oui 18:26, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

  • The whole thing about classification of ideas is wrong. While there is a classification of ideas, it is only limited to four syllable words. -Rex Imperator
