- Description
- In this paper I will look at skiing terms in artificial auxiliary languages (henceforth AALs), i.e. languages which have been deliberately created as a means of communication among speakers of different natural languages. The most successful language of this type is Esperanto, but there are hundreds of other such languages. Because many of them were not fully developed, a large number of AALs, e.g. Sona, lack vocabulary relating to skiing (at least in publicly available materials). The Esperanto word for 'ski' (the noun) is skio. Many or most other AALs have (basically) the same word, e.g. Mondlango skio, Romanova sci, Sambahsa ski. This is not a surprise, since many AALs were largely based on Esperanto and/or on major European languages (as Esperanto is). An exception is the a priori (built from scratch) language Kah, whose word is shoya. On the other hand, another a priori language, Suma, has a clearly borrowed word for 'ski', ski. The Slovio word for 'ski', lizxa, is very similar to the Russian word for it, лыжа, while the Lango word, narto, closely resembles the Latin and Polish words with this meaning, narta (in both languages). Relatively few AALs include much more vocabulary relating to skiing, but Esperanto does have some terms, including slalomo 'slalom', as do SPL and some others.
