Latin is too ordered. How do languages just arise

That’s it, they don’t

Latin, Greek, German are real languages. English for example is just a poor German dialect.

I think English is profound actually. We largely reject verb conjugation, which is objectively redundant.

In the language I’m constructing, you conjugate verbs by slapping pronouns onto them, like in English (like I eat vs you eat, vs Spanish: yo como vs tu comes). Then you add a standardized tense marker to indicate tense or that the root is a noun or gerund. No special cases, no modifying the root.

So instead of

“I hear you”

It’s

“Aud-no tu”

Instead of

“I’m listening to you”

“Aud’va’nu-no tu”

“I heard you”

“Aud’ta-no tu”

“I will listen to the hearing”

“Aud’va’la-no aud’xen” (x pronounced sh)

“I’ve listened to Joe Rogan”

“Aud’va’to-no Joe Rogan”

“I listened to Joe Rogan”

“Aud’va’ta-no Joe Rogan”

Not like Spanish

I listen : escucho

I listened : escuché

I will listen: escucharé

I have listened : he escuchado

I am listening : estoy escuchando (literally saying you are a noun: “I am a listening”)

In my language, every word root corresponds to two verbs, active and inactive: like hear/listen, see/watch, etc. and two associated nouns.
