Artificial Language — Questions and Answers

Artificial Language questions give you a few invented words with their translations and ask you to decode a new one. The whole method is cross-referencing: find a meaning shared by two given words, and the syllable those words share must carry it. Work systematically rather than by intuition and these become mechanical.

Artificial Language— Concepts, Formulas & Shortcuts

  • Compare two words that share an English meaning — the common syllable carries that meaning.
  • Eliminate matched syllables one at a time until each fragment has a fixed sense.
  • Word order in the invented language need not match English.
  • A syllable may appear at the start of one word and the end of another; position is not fixed.
  • Write your syllable-to-meaning key down; solving from memory causes errors.
  • Verify the finished key against every word given before answering.

Artificial Language — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard technique for artificial-language questions?+

Cross-reference. If "tenlo" means birdhouse and "lomek" means birdseed, the shared syllable "lo" must mean bird — which then fixes the meaning of the remaining fragments.

Does the order of syllables matter?+

Not necessarily. Invented languages in these questions often place the modifier after the noun, so judge each syllable by its meaning rather than its position.
