our natural lifetime is more or less enough for experiencing life as an individual

besides, we are not our memories, so why bother making them immortal

considering the horrible things that some mortals have done in human history,

maybe mortality of human beings isn't a bad thing after all,

at least until they evolve enough

maybe in the future there would be some way to extend human lifetime

also there is the possibility of artificial general intelligence

regardless, important thoughts can always be recorded, and every generation can study it and improve it

we may loose our body and personal memories, but our more important thoughts can live for a long time,

as a collective entity called human knowledge

the first consonant of a word indicates the most general concept group, the word belongs to

the subsequent letters are enumerated, to produce the derived words,

in a way that different words are distinguishable even in noisy environment

the initial vowel of a word determines its part of speech in the sentence

words begin and end in a vowel, this makes word boundaries clear, even when speaking fast

compound words are made by gluing derived words (without initial and final vowels) together

basic concepts:

group, part, truth, negation, numbers, space, time, matter (organic and inorganic), radiation, motion (change)

consonants: (c=ch, x=sh)

, p, b, f, v, m

, t, d, s, z, l, n, r

, c, j, x, y

, k, g, h

vowels: a , e, i, o, u (rule)

"a" is usually pronounced as in "car", but alternatively it can be pronounced as in "bad", if it's easier

"aa" can be used to explicitly write the alternative pronunciation

prepositions are like additional arguments for a verb (ie other than the direct object):

in, on. o, under, towards, before, of, for

verbs are timeless, time is indicated using propositional phrases

conjunctions (or, and, if, then, but, however) connect:

, words or phrases

, dependent clauses

, sentences

subject + verb + adverb + object

the initial vowel of a word determines its part of speech:

, "o": nouns

, "u": proper nouns

, "a": verbs

, "e" or "i": adjectives and adverbs

multiple modifiers (adjectives or adverbs) can apply to the same noun or verb,

if they are separated by a conjunction, usually "and"

when one modifier immediately follows another of the same type, it modifies the former

the two together then cumulatively modify the noun or verb headword

cardinal and ordinal number of a noun is treated as adjectives

to make gerund from a verb, just replace initial "a" with "o"

to make passive voice from a verb, replace initial "a" with "e" or "i"

a sequence of nouns must be separated with commas or conjunctions

noun + noun:

, possession

, if the first noun is a gerund, the second noun is its object

there are 6 pronouns

interrogative pronouns: who, what, when, where, why, how

a number is one word which begins with the consonant+vowel representing the multiplicity concept,

followed by consonant+vowels representing the digits, separated with thousand, million ...
