Sudre" Gajewski, Boleslas Paris: 1902 (44p) ----- "Histoire de la langue universelle" Couturat, Louis & Leau, Leopold pp 33-39 ----- "The Artificial Language Movement" Large, Andrew ----- "Esperanto: Learning and Using the International Language" Richardson, David p 27 ----- "Wanted: A World Language" Pei, Mario p 11-12 The early 19th century, for instance, saw Jean-Francois Sudre's "Langue Musicale Universelle", or Solresol, which was based on the international names of the musical notes, with all words formed out of combinations of the syllables "do, re, mi, fa, so, la, si [sic?]". Statistically, these combinations yield seven one-syllable words, 49 of two syllables, 336 of three, 2,268 of four, 9,072 of five, for a total of 11,732 primary words, a respectable vocabulary in any language. Shifts of stress from one syllable to another yielded additional words and separate grammatical forms. The language could be sung, played, or hummed, as well as spoken. It could be written as music. It could be expressed in taps, or even colors. Solresol gained wide acceptance, and was sponsored by such figures as Victor Hugo, Lamartine, von Humboldt, and Napoleon III. But it became, so to speak, extinct in the early years of our century. ----- "Historio de la Mondolingvo" Drezen La kombinajxoj el 1 kaj 2 muziknotoj faris partetojn kaj pronomojn: si - jes do - ne re - kaj mi - aw sol - cia La plej uzataj vortoj formigxis el kombino de tri notoj: doredo tempo doremi tago dorefa semajno doresol monato dorela jaro doresi jarcento Kombinajxoj el 4 notoj estis dividitaj je klasoj, law la komencanta noto; tiel ekzemple la klaso `do' rilatis homon materian kaj moralan, klaso `re' - familion, mastrumon kaj tualeton, klaso `mi' - agojn de la homo kaj liajn mankojn, ktp. Kiam iu vorto estis verbo, tiam la nomo de la objekto, persono, adjektivo kaj adverbo, devenanta de tiu verbo, formigxis per akcento sur la 1a, 2a, 3a kaj 4a silabo de la vorto. Ekzemple: sirelasi establi, fondi SIrelasi konstitucio siRElasi konstituanta (konsistiga) sireLAsi konstitucia sirelaSI law la konstitucio La ideo kontrawa esprimigxis per renversita ordo de la silaboj en la koncerna vorto, ekzemple (The idea contrary expressed with reverse order of the syllables in the concerned word, example:) misol bono (good) solmi malbono (bad) sollasi suprenigxi [ascendi] silasol malsuprenigxi [malascendi] ----- -------------------- As with the rest of Solresol, each word also serves as the word for any other similar concept, as shown in the following list. redodo - one, unity, first, unique, etc remimi - two, second, twice, etc (opposite of 8?) refafa - three, thrice, third, etc (opposite of 20?) resolsol - four, etc relala - five, etc resisi - six, etc mimido - seven, etc mimire - eight, etc (opposite of 2?) mimifa - nine, etc mimisol - ten, etc mimila - eleven, etc midodo - thirteen, etc fafare - twenty, etc (opposite of 3?) fafami - thirty, etc fafasol - forty, etc farere - one hundred, etc famimi - one thousand, etc fasolsol - one million, etc The numbers are contained within a 'group' or 'section' of the vocabulary that contains consecutively repeating notes (i.e. redodo but not doredo). This group also contains words relating to the seasons, the months, and the climate. ----- There's a short passage in the "Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language": This remarkable language was the invention of a French music master, Jean Francois Sudre, at the beginning of the 19th century. Solresol, or 'Langue Musicale Universelle', was based on the principle that the tones of music as named in the seven-note diatonic scale (do, re, mi, fa, so, la, si) could be used as the elemental syllables of a universal language. ... Of course, in the early 20th century there was a splinter group that advocated 12-tone Solresol. ----- The palindrome of a word means its opposite ----- I = dore to go up = sollasi I go up = dore sollasi yes = si "I love you" = dore milasi (love?) domi (you?) "I am a cat" = dore domifare (am?) redodo faresimi (cat?) doredo = time, doremi = day, dorefa = week. (miredo = night?) An artificial musical language composed of sequences of notes on the diatonic scale (do, re, mi,...) sung by name for comprehensibility to the tone deaf. The 7 notes could also be mapped into colors so that writing would be a series of colored squares.
