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)
