Lugamun, short for luga komun (common language), is an easy-to-learn, logical and well-balanced auxiliary language for global usage. Its goal is to allow people who otherwise don’t share a common language to communicate effectively and on an equal footing.

Lugamun’s vocabulary and grammar are based on the most widely spoken languages from around the world. It is developed in a systematic fashion based on an algorithmic process in order to ensure a globally fair and accessible vocabulary.

Information in English:

• Grammar – the complete Lugamun grammar
• Wordlist – an grouped list of all the words in Lugamun, with English translations
• Authors and acknowledgments – information on who is creating Lugamun and who is contributing to the language and this wiki

Over time, a Wikipedia-like knowledge base written in Lugamun may grow in the lugamun namespace. At the moment it’s still a bit early for that, however, as Lugamun’s vocabulary is not yet sufficiently developed to make such an endeavor practical.

This website is an open wiki, jointly grown by all who want to contribute. You are welcome to create an account (using the “Register” button in the top-right corner or in the “Tools” menu) and join in. To protect against spammers, new users are only allowed to write on the naya (new) page. Please use that page to quickly introduce yourself, then you’ll be given rights to also edit the rest of the wiki.

When editing pages, the graphical buttons above the edit window should help with text formatting – you may also check this short formatting overview or this detailed description of the text formatting syntax used in this wiki.

Besides the wiki, Lugamun’s development takes places the “auxlangs” Discord server. If you want to get closer involved or talk with others who are developing and using Lugamun, please join it and find the #lugamun channel there (it’s in the “World-Voc Worldlangs” section). There are many other channels on that server, some of which may be interesting to you and others less so – you can “mute” all channels you’re not interested in, then you won’t get bothered by them.

All files (Python scripts and data) used to generate the Lugamun dictionary can be found on GitLab. This includes the final multi-lingual dictionary itself.
