Singulish: Singular English

The Simplified English that have no plural.

Some natural languages such as Japanese has no plurals go with no problem, so that is redundant for simplified English.

Using language has no plural, it means you can think abstract concepts without image. Suppose the scene some birds are flying but you don't know the count of the birds. The count can be one ore more. English can't describe the situation. But Singulish can say just "Bird are flying". Simplification is not a lack of expression but expansion.

Subject

I, We, You, They. "We" are not the plural but mean just I and you.

Substantive verb

are, were, be, been.

Other verb

No third person singular form.

Article

No indefinite article. "The" can be used. Noun such as "chicken" must be redefined to solve the ambiguousness. For example, chicken meat can be used instead of chicken and then Singulish chicken mean a chicken or chickens.

Explicit countable subject/object

You can explicitly indicate countable object by prefixing with multi- to subject/object.

How to use

At first, let you mind graph that have node of abstract object and relationship. Second, let you translate those node into Singulish without the specific image in your mind.

Example

  • Bird are flying. (= A bird is flying OR birds are flying)
