Can we collaborate to design the world's most complicated language?

Question

This is a purely playful question. After teaching myself some Latin, I've come to the conclusion that it's a language on steroids! But then the thought ocurred to me, "how much more complex could this get?"

So here's my challenge. What absolutely torturous grammatical features can you imagine a hypothetical language having? Features which, mercifully, you have never encountered in a real language?

Here's the one I thought of: what if you had to conjugate adverbs as well as verbs? That is, what if adverbs took on different endings to agree with the verb in person, number, tense, mood, and voice. And of course, an adverb might not belong to the same "conjugation" as the verb it modifies (that would be too simple!).

For example: "I run quickly, they ran quicklash, we will have run quickabokt"

Ok, your turn! What feature do you think would be part of the Language From Hades ? :)

Brit: Yep, I've heard of Esperanto but I haven't seen it. I guess I'm envisioning Esperanto's evil twin! ;)

Answer 1

I have no idea. I think Latin already takes the cake on the award for the "Language of Hades." I've been learning Latin for a while, and all those declension nouns, on top of frickin' all the forms, like Nominative, Genitive, Accusative...etc.
We have all of those in English, but they all appear to be the same, at least!
Ugh, anyway, can't help you there. Have you heard of Esperanto? It's a made up language, supposedly being one of the easier languages to learn. However, only a small percentage of people actually speak it, and an even smaller percentage want to learn it. I'm not in those percentages.
It's kind of funny, actually.

Answer 2

That is a arguable query for certain. Currently English is viewed the dominant language of commercial and aviation, nevertheless it surely is not the dominant language so far as numbers are involved, on account that Chinese has the threshold there. And as acknowledged previous, that challenge might (typically will) difference because the vigour block alterations place. I recognise the Americans do not wish to listen to that, however historical past will (and has for the prior dominant languages) inform. On a an identical be aware, Esperanto has made a surge in status as an worldwide language, that's what it was once meant for. As with some thing of significance, it's going to take time, however ultimately it's going to make itself a commonly excepted software for worldwide members of the family. A well demonstration of it is developing status is that Esperanto, as of 1990, ranked sixty fifth so much countless new books in print on the planet. Which while you don't forget it has a standard speakme quantity of humans round 2 million, and that there are in way over 6000 languages on the planet, is really a enormous quantity of courses.

So abstract...
