Welcome to the Speed Language website. Speed language allows you to express the meaning of an entire sentence using one word.
You can use Speed Language for fun or privacy or as a way of exercising your mind.
Speed Language is a created language, designed, so that a single sound, or combination of sounds, carries the meaning of a word in a normal language.
When these sounds are strung together, a whole new word is created. A new word that carries a whallop of meaning!
You do not have to learn any grammar! If you know and use the Speed Language word, the grammar is already built into it!
There are already many Speed language words right here ready for you to use! and there are always more coming!!
If you have any questions or comments, I will be happy to help you

A word on plurals. And a few more words
As you know, a Gidzic word contains all the grammatical information within itself. The words of a regular language, such as English or French are expressed in a Gidzic word by a single sound, or sometimes, two sounds. This makes it possible for Gidzic to express so much information in a single word. Gidzic makes nouns plural by using phonemes or morphemes that stand for words that show more than one object. Those Phonemes/Morphemes, when translated into their English equivalents are: Few - awd, Group - tsa, Bunch - ci, Some - ot, Many - os.
Group - tsa and, Bunch - ci are nouns. These form compounds with the noun they are pluralizing. Few - awd, Some - ot, and, Many - os are adjectives and they come before the noun.
Using several nouns for examples, We can see how using these Phonemes/Morphemes can change the look of the final Gidzic word.
We start by translating the English sentence into the Gidzic morphemes: (In these examples English word order will be used.)
(There is) a (basket) (on) the (floor) word in parenthesis are words translated. Gidzic has no words for *the* or *a*
Ar SMu EIm DZu
Next we decide which sounds *from each morpheme* we would like to use in the final word. We have to have a sound from *each* morpheme. Here we will use the sounds that are capitalized in the morphemes we have above. Using the first sound from the first morpheme which is a vowel, (A) Next we would want the second sound of the final word to be a consonant which is the combination (SM). next we would use the vowel combination of the third morpheme (EI).
And, finally the (DZ) of the last morpheme. we alternated using the vowels and consonants. This would give the Gidzic word:
Asmeidz = There is a basket on the floor
Now lets use the same sentence but, make the word basket plural by adding the morpheme 'some' (Ot)
(There are) (some) (baskets) (on) the (floor).
Ar oT smU eiM dzU Only because there is an extra morpheme here, other phonemes get used.
These will give us the Gidzic word:
Atumu = There are some baskets on the floor
More examples:
Is (that) a (child) (on) the (road)?
EId CRue EIm Du ?
Eicreid? = Is that a child on the road? To pluralize the noun morpheme 'crue', child, we'll use the noun 'group' = tsa
Is (that) a (child) (group) (on) the (road)?
Eid CRue tsA eiM dU Again, only due to the extra morpheme here, other phonemes get used.
Eicramu? = Is that a group of Children on the road?
Do (you) (see) (that) (girl)
Fio Ip eiD jAW
Fidaw? = Do you see that Girl? Plurizing Girl with the noun 'Bunch' = ci
Do (you) (see) (that) (girl) (bunch) [bunch of girls]
Fio Ip eiD jAW Ci
Fidawc? = Do you see that bunch of girls?
(There is) a (house) (on) (that) (hill).
Ar Dua EIm eiD jE
Adeide = There is a house on that hill. Now pluralize 'house' with the adjective 'awd' = few
(There are) a (few) (houses) (on) (that) (hill).
Ar awD dUA eiM EId Je
Aduameij = There are a few houses on that hill.
Do (you) (talk) (with) (that) (person)?
Fio Is eiB EId Ze
Fibeiz? = Do you talk with that person? use 'many' os to pluralize person.
Do (you) (talk) (with) (that) (many) (persons)?
Fio Is eiB Eid oS zE
Fibeise? = Do you talk with that many persons?
Clearly you would not go through this process during a conversation. Have a vocabulary of already created words. Just as is done in any language.

The order of sounds that go into creating a word is not fixed. As long as you have all the sounds needed to convey the meaning you want, the order you put them in, can be anything. This is because homonyms are NOT allowed in Gidzic. Each word has to be unique. We do not analyze each and every component of a Gidzic word in order to understand its meaning. Instead, we focus on the Gidzic word and its definition. We are essentially learning the language idiomatically. This freewheeling approach to morpheme order, lets us change the appearance of the word when we need to yet, maintains the meaning.
Once you have your word, however, keep it in that form. If you have more than one word for a single meaning there is a possibility that one of those words could also mean something else. Phonemes in Gidzic have many meanings. This means that a word of Gidzic may have another meaning. This is why we allow the order of morphemes to be so flexible. So, if we need the word to have its own appearance , in order to reflect its own meaning, we can switch the order of its morphemes around.

An actual lesson: Numbers and telling time
Gidzic is unique in that it only uses 13 morphemes to create a complete number system.
Those morphemes are:
0 - ens
1 - idh
2 - il
3 - im
4 - ob
5 - if
6 - un
7 - ig
8 - uedz
9 - iz
100 - ues
thousand - oj
million - usp
You will notice there are no words for teen, twenty, thirty and such until we get up to hundred. The reason for this is because in Gidzic numbers, the digits of a number are simply read off from left to right. So, after nine, comes 10, which would be idh-ens (one-zero). You probably have realized by now, that in Gidzic not all the sounds are used to make the actual final word. In the case of Idh-ens, the initial 'I' is dropped leaving dhens, the actual word for 10. the dropping of the initial vowel is the standard practice:
11 - idh-idh > dhidh
12 - idh-il > dhil
13 - idh-im > dhim
14 - idh-ob >dhob
15 - idh-if > dhif
16 - idh-un > dhun
17 - idh-ig > dhig
18 - idh-uedz > dhuedz
19 - idh-iz > dhiz
Twenty would be: il-ens (two-zero) or: lens, when the initial vowel is dropped.
20 - il-ens > lens
21 - il-idh > lidh
22 - il-il > lil
30 - im-ens > mens
35 - im- if > mif
40 - ob-ens > bens
48 - ob-uedz > buedz
53 - if-im > fim
59 - if-iz > fiz
64 - un-ob > nob
65 - un-if > nif
76 - ig-un > gun
77 - ig-ig > gig
80 - uedz-ens > dzens
81 - uedz-idh > dzidh
93 - iz-im > zim
98 - iz-uedz > zuedz
When we come to numbers with multiple zeroes like 100 or 1000 or 10,000 the digits are NOT read off from left to right. This is when we use the special numbers ues, hundred, oj, thousand and usp, million. reciting all those zeroes is considered repetitive.
100 - idh-ues (one hundred) dhues. Notice that once again, the initial vowel is dropped
200- il-ues > lues
300 - im-ues > mues
5000 - if-oj > foj
8000 - uedz-oj > dzoj
10,000 - dhensoj
However with larger numbers that do NOT contain a string of zeroes, we return to our method of simply reading the digits from left to right.
406 - ob-ens-un > bensun Again, the initial vowel is dropped
365 - im-un-if > munif
823 - uedz-il-im > dzilim
420 - ob-il-ens > bilens
2014 - il-ens-idh-ob > lensidhob
1776 - idh-ig-ig-un > dhigigun
At this point I would like to talk about a point of syntax that is critical for understanding. In Gidzic there is no way to know if a noun is plural accept by the context. If it is absolutely critical to know, you can use morphemes like some, many, a few and this will give a sense that there are more than one of the thing you are talking about. Of course you can also say exactly how many of the thing there is:
Five houses - if-dua > fua
10 computers - dhens-emt-cra > dhensecra
23 spoons - il-im-no > limo
The point of syntax is this: When the number comes BEFORE the noun you are saying how many of the thing there are. If the number comes AFTER the noun however
dua-if > duaf - The fifth house (literally house five)
emt-cra-dhens > ecradhens - the tenth computer (computer ten)
no-il-im > nolim - the twenty third spoon (spoon 23)
Placing the number after the noun makes it into a cardinal number. We need to know this because cardinal numbers are used in Gidzic when telling time, which is the second part of this lesson
Telling time
First of all, "What time is it?" - "Gatsar?" - (GA what)(TSo hour)(AR is)?
The formula for telling the time is always the same here is 3:04
tso-im-`ue-ob-tei (literally: hour three and four minutes) These morphemes form into the word: Tsomuebei 3:04
tso-ob-`ue-il-ens-tei > tsobuelensei 4:20
tso-idh-il-`ue-im-ens-tei > tsodhiluemensei 12:30
tso-un-`ue-im-uedz-tei > tsonuemuedzei 6:38
There is however, a shorter form that most people use. we drop off the Tso (hour) from the front and Tei (minute) from the back and we just say the hour and the minutes. So the times above in their short forms would be:
tsomuebei > mueb (literally three and four) 3:04
tsobuelensei > buelens (four and two zero) 4:20
tsodhiluemensei > dhiluemens (one two and three zero) 12:30
tsonuemuedzei > nuemuedz (six and three eight) 6:38
3/8/14 (A few more insults)
Gidzic, like English, use a rising tone to indicate a question. All of the Gidzic words that are collecting here, can be either a question or a statement. It just depends on whether you add the questioning tone or not.
