Baseyu is an international auxiliary language that maximizes ease of pronunciation, uses simplistic grammar and focuses on a vocabulary based of the 15 most spoken and influential languages in the world. Its main structural influences are Interlingua, Toki Pona and the Creole languages of the Caribbean.
History In 2019 Andrew Meyer started working on a language that was published in June 2020 as Jita Ona. In June 2022 Andrew Meyer created the Jitasama Facebook page, and in August 2023, Vicente Costalago created the wiki. Vicente Costalago helped the author reform the grammar to make it a fully functional auxiliary language. In October 2023 Andrew Meyer translated the first book into Baseyu called the kitab de dao, a translation of the the Tao Te Ching.
Flag The Baseyu flag was created by Vicente Costalago in September 2023. It portrays a yellow sun on a blue sky with 16 rays which represent the 15 most important languages of the world which baseyu takes its influence from, and 1 ray representing all of the other languages Baseyu has and will take influence from. The sun represents the fact that we all live under the same sun. Thus, the language’s motto is “toto nus jindat nij solen sama” (We all live under the same sun).
