BABELIRO is a groundbreaking philosophical language designed to reveal the deep structure of human thought and communication. It is inspired by the idea that the Creation Myth embodies a linguistic and cognitive riddle about universal grammar, which underpins all languages and ideas. Built on the Theory of Virtue (TöV), a framework rooted in Virtue Ethics, BABELIRO aims to replace moral confusion with a clear, rational method for thinking and decision-making. By integrating insights from linguistics, philosophy, cognitive science, and ethics, BABELIRO offers a powerful tool for overcoming bias, fostering clarity, and understanding the world with intellectual precision. It serves as a bridge between language and moral virtue, empowering users to shape a more thoughtful and coherent future.
Babeliro, a philosophical language, is grounded not only in logic, but aspires to truthfully represent human cognition as well. It’s based on basic principles of choices, cognitive theory, and virtue ethics. The categories in its grammar have been chosen and modelled in accordance with the human process of thought and choice. The first step in realizing the beauty of Babeliro’s grammar are two interjections, Choices and Emotions.
Choices are a basic concept in Babeliro because they are an essential part of the human condition: all of us are constantly making choices, and they are directly related to MU-KA-SI-NO tetrachotomy (indifference – indecision – attraction – aversion). All these four categories of choice can occur, depending on our level of certainty, liking or rejection of something in a particular situation.
1. MU – The “neutral” choice, also referred to as all+nothing, represents indifference. It reflects a state of no preference, much like when someone is neither inclined to choose one option over another nor disinclined toward it. This choice is often used in situations where the outcome doesn’t affect the individual’s mental state significantly.
Example:
· “Do you want water, cola zero or cola light?”
o “I don’t care, just bring me whatever is cold.”
2. NO – The NO choice represents a negative decision or rejection. In Babeliro, this interjection is linked to a firm refusal or aversion to something, like the act of saying no to something unappealing. It signals clear disagreement or non-acceptance.
Example:
· “Do you want another drink with us?”
o “No, I must go now.”
3. SI – The SI choice represents an affirmative response or a positive decision. It reflects attraction and acceptance, a selection made based on the reasoning that this option is desirable or preferable. This interjection is used when one is inclined toward a choice or agrees with a proposition.
Example:
· “Do you want chocolate?”
o “Yes, I love chocolate.”
4. KA – The KA choice is more nuanced and reflects a part decision or a partial acceptance. It is a form of indecision or partiality, where the choice made is neither fully accepted nor fully rejected. It suggests a state of conditionality or occasional preference, similar to when someone is unsure but leans toward something based on context or mood.
Example:
· “Do you want some cake?”
o “Well, I do and I don’t. I need to lose weight but it looks good!”
1. Eh! – The Eh! interjection represents realization, thought or idea in the present moment. This emotional expression signifies the process of suddenly becoming aware of something or having understood about a situation at hand by the means of thought only. It occurs when a person’s awareness shifts to the present.
Example:
· “Eh! Imagine if that woman had a moustache!”
2. Ah! – The Ah! interjection signifies observation, knowledge or sensation, about past facts or knowledge. It may involve recalling reflecting on past experiences, but most often about immediate sensations from the physical world. We form a judgment or emotion based on the past.
Example:
· “Ah! There’s a bear out there!”
3. Uh! – The Uh! interjection is a future-oriented emotional expression linked to surprise, unexpected. It often expresses anxiety or apprehension about future events, particularly those that might cause harm or unexpected outcomes.
Example:
· “Uh! I cannot wait to go for holidays.”
4. Oh! – The Oh! interjection represents concern for ongoing or persistent issues. It reflects the emotional reaction to a situation that is not immediately threatening but has lingering or continuous effects.
Example:
· “Oh! That cute big bear will eat me!”
The set of emotional functions in Babeliro (realization, observation, surprise, concern) is directly associated with the cognitive state of the language user and is not an afterthought or ornamentation. The emotional interjections work alongside choices in logic, producing a more multi-tiered structure. We will later need this in the future
Choice | Description | Example |
MU | Neutral or indifferent choice | “I don’t care, I’m fine either way.” |
NO | Negative or rejecting choice | “No, I don’t want that.” |
SI | Affirmative or agreeing choice | “Yes, that’s exactly what I wanted!” |
KA | Partial or conditional choice | “I might want, depending on the situation.” |
| Emotion | Description | Example |
| Eh! | Realization (present thoughts) | ” Eh! Imagine if that woman had a moustache!” |
| Ah! | Observation (past knowledge) | “Ah! There’s a bear out there!” |
| Uh! | Anticipation (future knowledge) | “Uh! I cannot wait to go for holidays.” |
| Oh! | Concern (continuous knowledge) | “Oh! That cute big bear will eat me!” |
| First-subordinate root (right) giving extra meaning to the second-dominating root (top) | MŪ (all+nothing) | KÁ (part) | NÒ (no) | SǏ (yes) |
| MŪ (all+nothing) | MŪMĪ (any) | SÒMǏ (some) | PÒKÍ (few) | MǓXÍ (much) |
| KÁ (part) | DĚMĀS (also/too/again) | MÁÍY (but) | ÒDĒR (or) | ĪÍ (and) |
| NÒ (no) | ĪNSTÈD (instead) | NÍDÈR (neither) | NÒBÒR (never/none) | LÁRĪ (enough) |
| SǏ (yes) | RĀDĚR (rather) | ÍDĚR (either) | LǏRÌ (almost) | TǓTǏ (ever/all) |
I vary a lot in my choice of drinks. Often, I don’t get a drink, but sometimes I drink a beer, or a glass of water, or wine, or whatever the other person is having… then for me drinks is a KA-situation. 🌊
Water/nothing = MU-preference ☁️ some
Wine = SI-preference 🌍 either
Juice = NO-preference 🔥 neither
Beer = KA-preference 🌊 but
“For drink, I could have maybe water… either wine… neither juice… but beer…”
Then, it’s the main. You know I want that pizza, but maybe in this example they don’t have. But you may have to choose between different choices that aren’t your favourite meal (SI-choice 🌍) but still this is the main mean, so you will choose something for sure. This is the SI-situation. 🌍
Main course = yes-situation 🌍
Salad = MU-preference ☁️ much
Schnitzel =SI-preference 🌍 ever/all
Soup = NO-preference 🔥 enough
Pizza = KA-preference 🌊 and
“… then for main course, I could have often pizza and salad, also schnitzel, rarely soup…”
Within desserts, there are some desserts that I like more than others; others that I don’t like at all; others which are also indifferent (MU-preference); others which I sometimes like but other times not, not a constant, that’s a KA-preference.
So in my mid it goes like this:
Dessert = MU-situation ☁️, then: Do you want dessert?
Me (in my mind): I frankly don’t care… everyone is having one so let me also see what ice-cream they have:
Chocolate ice cream = SI-preference 🌍
Vanilla ice cream = MU-preference ☁️
Strawberry ice cream = NO-preference 🔥
Nothing = KA-preference 🌊
Dessert = MU-situation ☁️
Vanilla ice cream = MU-preference ☁️ any
Chocolate ice cream = SI-preference 🌍 rather
Strawberry ice cream = NO-preference 🔥 rather not (instead)
Nothing = KA-preference 🌊 also
“… for dessert, I could have rather chocolate ice cream, with any vanilla ice cream, rather not strawberry ice cream, or nothing…”
I just don’t drink coffee. I drink decaf, so let’s not call that coffee. So for me, coffee is a no-situation, right? But even in a no-situation there may be choices… because you can choose not to have it or get that decaf or a tea.
So let’s think know how this options look like in my head:
Coffee = KA-situation 🌊
Coffee = no-situation 🔥
Nothing = MU-preference ☁️ few
Decaf/tea = SI-preference 🌍 some
Cappuccino = NO-preference 🔥 never
Espresso = KA-preference 🌊 a bit of (few)
“and for coffee, I could have some decaf, a bit of espresso, also nothing, never cappuccino after 11am”.
Let’s think about it in a table (situation top-right & preference left-below):
Therefore, we can see how all this logical concepts derive from understanding MU and its components ( NO, SI and KA). They are also the grammatical connectors in Babeliro, when pronounced in their word-form.
1. MUM (any): Signifies an arbitrary choice or any option available.
2. I (and): Connects two ideas or actions together, showing inclusion of both.
3. INSTEAD (instead): Indicates substitution or replacement, where one option is chosen over another.
4. RADER (rather): Shows preference for one option over another, but not as a strong preference.
5. LAR (maybe): Denotes uncertainty or a possibility without commitment.
6. MAIY (but): Expresses contrast or opposition between two ideas or choices.
7. NIDER (neither): Indicates the rejection of both available options.
8. IDER (): Suggests a choice between two options, where either one can be selected.
9. ODER (or): Provides an alternative choice or option.
10. POK (few): Refers to a limited or small number of choices or occurrences.
11. SOM (some): Refers to an unspecified but nonzero number or portion of a set.
12. NOBOR (never): Denies the occurrence of something at a time.
13. DEMAS (again): Implies repetition or returning to a previous state or choice.
14. MUX (much): Represents a large quantity or frequent occurrence of something.
15. TUT (also): Indicates totality over an idea, showing maximum inclusion.
16. LIR (almost/near): Indicates approximation or closeness to a threshold or outcome without fully reaching it.
Articles define or introduce nouns in Babeliro. They are used to specify whether we are referring to something definite or indefinite and provide clarity about the generality or specificity of the noun in question.
ONO(S) (a/an/one – s. & pl.): The Indefinite Article
ONO(S) is the indefinite article in Babeliro. The article is used when referring to something non-specific, unknown, or introduced for the first time. The article signifies that the speaker does not have a particular thing in mind.
Example:
“ONO MININO” – “a dog” (referring to an unspecified cat).
“ONOS KANINOS” – “(some) dogs” (referring to multiple unspecified dogs).
LO(S) (the – s. & pl.): The Definite Article
LO(S) is the definite article in Babeliro. The article is used when referring to something specific, particular, identified, or known from the context of the conversation. The article signifies that the speaker has a particular thing in mind.
Example:
“LO PRIMINO” – “the ape” (referring to a specific, known ape).
“LOS EKINOS” – “the horses” (referring to multiple specific, known ape).
Singular nouns represent a single instance of an entity. In Babeliro, singular nouns are root words with the -O ending, which is a standard for nouns.
Example:
“KANIN“, for dog-root, becomes “KANIN-O”, for dog-noun in Babeliro.
Plural nouns are root words with the -OS ending. This pluralization reflects the presence of more than one entity.
Example:
“KANIN“, for dog-root, becomes “KANIN-OS”, for dogs-noun in Babeliro.
1. YO – First-person singular pronoun (I)
2. BU – Second-person singular pronoun (you)
3. AOLO/EULO/LO – Third-person singular pronoun (he/she/it)
4. NOS – First-person plural pronoun (we)
5. BOS – Second-person plural pronoun (you all)
6. LOS – Third-person plural pronoun (they)
Note: EU- and AO- can be added for emphasis to before a root to denote gender. Thus, LO = he/she/it, EULO = she, AOLO = he, AOBU = you male, EUEKINO = mare (female horse)…
Example:
“EULOS SERE mary I anna.” – “They (female) are Mary and Anna.”
Possessives are words which are used to show who owns or possesses something. In Babeliro, the possessives are formed from pronouns, with a change in the ending of the possessive. Possessives are important when it comes to showing relationships of ownership over things, whether it is a physical object or an abstract one.
1. MI(S)/YOSIUS – Expresses ownership by the first person (my).
2. TU(S)/BUSIUS – Expresses ownership by the second person (your).
3. SU(S)/LOIUS – Expresses ownership by the third person (his/her/its).
4. NOSTRO(S)/NOSIUS – Expresses ownership by the second person (our).
5. BOSTRO(S)/BOSIUS – Expresses ownership by the second person (your -pl.).
6. LOSTRO(S)/LOSIUS – Expresses ownership by the second person (their).
Example:
“MI KANINO” – “my dog”
“AOSU DOMO” – “his house “
“TUS EKINOS” – “your horses”
In Babeliro, questions are formulated using specific question words that correspond to the logical categories of the query. Babeliro uses connectors like KA (part), along with question words that are tied to specific cognitive concepts, such as the idea of who, what, how, why, and where.
1. KE/KA (question particle): A general question marker, added in beginning or in the end.
2. KIEN/KAMENTI (who): Used to ask about a person or entity
3. KE/KATANTI (what): Used to ask about a thing or an idea
4. PORKI/KATROLI (why): Used to ask about a goal, cause or motive
5. KOMO/KAFLUSI (how): Used to inquire about manner or method
Example:
“KAMENTI KANINO?” – “Who/What (nominal) dog?” (i.e. nominal = what dog (did that)?)
“KATANTI KANINO?” – “What (object) dog?” (i.e. object = what dog (is affected)?)
“EUBU HABE ONO MININO KA?” – “Do you (female) have a dog?”
“KIEN [is] here?” – “Who is here?”

Conclusion
Entities refer to things, people, places and ideas. In a language such as Babeliro, Entities help the speaker know and point out a specific person or thing or idea. Entities are used with each other through the Articles, Nouns, Pronouns, Possessives, Questions, and Numbers to paint the logical, orderly picture of the world that the people of Babeliro see. It is the basic way that humanity identifies what it is and what it is not, as it experiences the phenomena that make up its world.
Example:
Example:
Example:
Alternatively this could be also said as:
§ “EULO SERE (ONO) PAKILANDIUS (EU)HUMANO” – “She is (a) Pakistani (woman)person.”
§ “EULO SERE (ONO) PAKILARO” – “She is (a) Pakistani (abroad).”
§ “EULO SERE PAKILIRO” – “She is Pakistani (in Pakistan).”
§ Or most commonly: EULO PAKILANDIUSO = “She (is-omitted) Paki+land+(from case)”
Example:
This is rarely used by itself as preposition. This preposition reflects the present time. Most often used as verbal ending -E.
Example:
o “EULO SERE DUS PAKILAND” – “She is from Pakistan.”
This is rarely used by itself as preposition. This preposition reflects the past time. Most often used as verbal ending -Á.
Example:
o “YO PASÁ EN LO DOMO” – “I went inside the house.”
This is rarely used by itself as preposition. This preposition reflects the future time. Most often used as verbal ending -ÚS.
Example:
o “YO PASÚS BUOSO” – “I will walk with you.”
This is rarely used by itself as preposition. This preposition reflects the continuous time. Most often used as noun ending -O(S).
Example:
o “YO PASÁ EN LO DOMO” – “I went inside the house.”
This is rarely used by itself as preposition or case, because it lacks clarity. For example, it is used as a question with KA, KAMENTI means “who”. Otherwise it is used for nominative, genitive, via and accordance case-prepositions.
Example:
o “YO PASE KONMENT NOMOS” – “I go according to the rules.”
This is rarely used by itself as preposition or case, because it lacks clarity. For example, it is used as a question with KA, KATANTI means “what”. Otherwise it is used for passive, accusative, direction and essive-modal case-prepositions.
Example:
o “NOS HABE TANTAT ONO DOMO” – “We have a house.”
o Alternative: “NOS HABE ONO DOMATA” – “We have a house (accusative).”
This is rarely used by itself as preposition or case, because it lacks clarity. For example, it is used as a question with KA, KAFLUSI means “how”. Otherwise it is used for temporal, lative, elative and distributive case-prepositions.
Example:
o “BU HABE MESAGATA FUSDU TU EUMOMO”
– “You have a message (accusative) from your mother.”
This is rarely used by itself as preposition or case, because it lacks clarity. For example, it is used as a question with KA, KATROLI means “why”. Otherwise it is used for preferred, instrumental, quotative and motive case-prepositions.
Example:
o “AOLO PASÁ LIRO, JOLKON BUÓS KONDIGI”
– “He came here, with the intention of (because) speaking with you (you+dative).”
We have the three types of basic prepositions: Spatial, Temporal and Logical. We can mix them in three Situational Tables to express the complete combination of prepositions:
Situational Tables for Logical Case-Prepositions:
| MEN / MENT (essence) | TAN / TANT (entity) | FUS / FLUS (circumstance) | JOL / TROL (purpose) | |

KON / -OSO(S) | ENKON | ANTKON | PUSKON | REPIT |
Babeliro allows for the use of cases or prepositions creatively. Cases are grammatical markers that indicate the role a noun or pronoun plays in a sentence and directly tied to logical functions. A noun or pronoun can change its function depending on whether it is the subject, object, or showing possession. In Babeliro, cases and prepositions can be used freely for creative purposes (e.g. to emphasize, to counter).
Example of double case for emphasis:
o “PASA XEN DOMÉS!” – “Go in home (+locative)!”
o “NOS MAKÚS LO KON XETOSO!” – “We will do it with precision (+sociative)!”
o “YO DIGÁ TANAT SERITANTATA!”
– “I said what (accusative preposition) truth (+accusative)!”
Example of double case for counter:
o “MI DOMO SERE TRANS SITEPA!” – “My house is across the inner-city”
o “BU XENE DUS BABELIRO!” – “You enter from within-Babel”
In Babeliro, grammatical moods are not just syntactic categories but deeply philosophical tools that express the speaker’s mental attitude, certainty, intention, or emotional stance toward the action or event. These moods are structured logically using root combinations, specifically between four prepositional roots (EN, AT, DU, KON) and four verbal-logical roots (MENT, TANT, FLUS, TROL). These combinations form 16 moods, foundational to Babeliro’s expressive power.
The Essence of Moods
The Essence of a statement in Babeliro reflects how a speaker cognitively and emotionally relates to the action. Is it certain? Hypothetical? Willed? Continuous? These are not surface-level choices—they determine the logical position of the speaker in time, will, and belief.
Babeliro organizes moods into three tiers:
The 16 Moods in Babeliro – Table Explained
The mood system arises from the interaction of two roots:
Each square represents a unique mood, created by combining these two layers.
Mood Name | Construction | Meaning | Example (as independent particle) |
1. Subjunctive | XETI / -ELEN | Hypothetical, desired, possible | “I would go if I were you.” → YO DUBI PASE, FLUS YO DU XETI SERE. |
2. Conditional/Dubitative | DUBI / -ELAN | Would, hypothetical action | “I would go if I were you.” → YO DUBI PASE, FLUS YO DU XETI SERE. |
3. Passive/Inferential | SERI / -ELUN | Something is happening passively or inferred | “The word was said.” → LO BORDOR SERIMAKIXETÁ |
4. Potential/Permissive | PODI / -ELON | Can, might, allowed to | “You can enter.” → DU PODI XENE. |
5. Potential/Probable | XAPI / -ARES | indeed/of course, demonstrative mood | “Of course he knows.” → AOLO XAPIMUXENMENE. |
6. Indicative (Default) | FATI / -ARAS / -E / *KÉN | Is, does, factual statement | “In fact she made it.” → EULO LATA FATIMAKÁ. |
7. Preterit (Past) | HABI / -ARUS / -Á | Past action, -ed | “She made it.” → EULO LATA HABI MAKE. |
8. Jussive (Should) | MAKI / -AROS | Should, ought to | “You should go.” → DU MAKI PASE. |
9. Desiderative (Wish) | GIYI / -UREN | Wish, hope | “I wish you well.” → YO DUTÁ GIYIXENTROLXENE. |
10. Presumptive (Shall) | YALI / -URAN | Shall, might, expectation | “You shall succeed.” → DU YALI TROLXENE |
11. Future | BILI / -URUN / -ÚS (DU + FLUS) | Will happen | “I will rest.” → YO BILI MUHABE |
12. Imperative (Must) | GOTI / -URON | Must, command | “You must listen. / Listen!” → DU GOTI PODIXETE |
13. Interrogatory | KETI / -OLES / *KA | Questioning, uncertainty | “Do you know?” → DU KETI MUXETI? |
14. Hypothetical (May) | LOLI / -OLAS | May, optional | “You may go.” → DU LOLI PASE. |
15. Hortative (Let) | LETI / -OLUS | Let’s, suggestion | “(you) Let us enter.” → DU NOS LETI XENE. |
16. Continuous (-ing) | ROKI / -OLOS / -ONDO | Ongoing action, continuous | “I am going.” → YO ROKI PASE. |
The 16 moods of Babeliro provide a complete logical toolkit for expressing the full spectrum of human intention and understanding. Whether framing an action as desired, expected, ongoing, or necessary, these moods bring precision and depth to every statement.
In Babeliro, to speak is to think logically—and moods are the clearest windows into the essence of that thought.
In Babeliro, a Concern is a philosophical-linguistic structure that defines the relationship between agent, action, and world. Concerns are expressed through TROLSOLIO—the Essence of purposeful action. Verbs reflect how humans interact with truth, change, choice, and existence. Babeliro categorizes verbs by Verb Families, each grounded in a cognitive axis of human behavior.
The Four Dimensions of Verbs
Each verb root expresses itself through four dimensions of interaction:
Now Let’s look at these dimensions across these examples of basic verbal roots:
Dimension | Example infinitive | Translation |
SI (Positive) | (SI)MENTI | “to be of real essence” |
NO (Neutral) | NOMENTI | “to be against real essence” |
KA (Half-Way) | KAMENTI | “to be of uncertain essence” |
MU (Human-like) | MUMENTI | “to be of imaginary essence” |
Dimension | Example infinitive | Verbal Translation |
SI (Positive) | (SI)TANTI | “to exist” |
NO (Neutral) | NOTANTI | “to be empty” |
KA (Half-Way) | KATANTI | “to be uncertain (e.g. identity crisis)” |
MU (Human-like) | MUTANTI | “to be void” |
Dimension | Example Verb | Translation |
SI (Positive) | (SI)FLUSI | “to flow” |
NO (Neutral) | NOFLUSI | “to stop” |
KA (Half-Way) | KAFLUSI | “to change” |
MU (Human-like) | MUFLUSI | “to influence” |
Dimension | Example Verb | Translation |
SI (Positive) | (SI)TROLI | “to aim” |
NO (Neutral) | NOTROLI | “to err” |
KA (Half-Way) | KATROLI | “to try” |
MU (Human-like) | MUTROLI | “to want” |
Babeliro’s verb system is a mirror to human intentionality. It allows us to express not just what we do, but how we feel about doing it, why we do it, and how much of our self is involved. By understanding and using the basic verb families—MENT, TANT, FLUS, and TROL—and combining them with the four dimensions of concern (SI, NO, KA, MU), we speak not just a logical language, but a language of the human soul.
