Origins & Lore

MIN-0 is the third constructed language in this series. Unlike purely human conlangs, MIN-0 emerged from first contact: an accidental sentient species came into existence after Zack's arrival on a distant planet during an interstellar mission. Drawing on his speech and context — and being partially mechatronical in nature — the species developed a hybrid communication system that blends human alphabets and sounds with digital numeric values.

The result is an alphanumeric language where every valid code (a combination of letters and digits) maps to a meaningful unit of communication. This gives MIN-0 a unique dual character: it reads like a cipher to outsiders, yet operates with the full expressive range of a natural language.

0.1 Code Length & Structure

Codes in MIN-0 are bounded by a length constraint of 6–8 characters. Neither pure letter nor pure number components may exceed 4 characters each.

aaaannnn (4 letters + 4 digits) aaaann (4 letters + 2 digits) nnnnaa (4 digits + 2 letters)

0.2 Language Scope

MIN-0 covers all grammatical categories needed for full-sentence communication:

  • Greetings & Salutations
  • Nouns (context-based encoding)
  • Prepositions
  • Adjectives (intensity gradients)
  • Verbs (intensity gradients)
  • Pronouns: Personal, Possessive, Object, Demonstrative, Reflexive & Reciprocal
  • Adverbs
  • Quantitative Descriptors
  • Quantifiers
  • Interrogatives
  • Time/Place Descriptors
  • Negators
  • Tense (80+ forms)
  • Degrees of Comparison
  • Imperatives
  • Punctuation

Chapter 1

Code Architecture

1.1 Verb Syntax

Syntax: [lowercase letter][UPPERCASE LETTER][digit]
Example:want → wB6

The lowercase + uppercase letters identify the verb; the digit is the base intensity code. Tense and aspect are appended as decimal suffixes. Maximum registerable verbs: 26 × 26 × 10 = 6,760 (currently ~3,337 registered).

1.2 Adjective Syntax

Syntax: [UPPERCASE LETTER][lowercase letter][digit]
Example:beautiful → Bm1

The case reversal (uppercase-first vs. lowercase-first) ensures verb and adjective codes can never collide. Maximum: 6,760 (currently ~1,838 registered).

Greetings & Salutations

2.1 Fixed Expressions

EnglishMIN-0
Thank youtD5U3
You're welcome / Always welcomeU1wD7

2.2 Hello / Hi / Hey / What's up

All informal greetings map to one code:

o_o-_-o_o
📌If the entire sentence is just the greeting, write the code once. If combined with other content, separate with ..
Eg 1:hello, how are you? → |o_o-_-o_o..?wU1bC90?|
Eg 2:hey, what's up? → |o_o-_-o_o|
Eg 3:hi, I am your friend, Zack. → |o_o-_-o_o..I1bC90U2(friend)..(zack)|

2.3 Bye / Farewell

All goodbye expressions map to:

-_-o_o-_-
Eg 1:Bye, have a nice day. → |-_-o_o-_-..|hD5Na0(a-day)||
Eg 2:farewell, my friend → |-_-o_o-_-..I2(friend)|

IYouHeSheTheyWeIt
I1U1H1S1T1V1i1

3.2 Possessive Pronouns

MyYourHisHerTheirOurIts
I2U2H2S2T2V2i2
📌For proper-noun possessives use the 'of [proper noun]' form: "Max's pen" = "pen of Max" → |i1bC90(pen)<->[Max]|

3.3 Object Pronouns

MeYouHimHerThemUsIt
I3U3H3S3T3V3i3

Nouns

4.1 Encoding Algorithm

Common nouns are encoded through a 6-step transformation of the English spelling:

StepOperation
Step 1Increment each letter by 13 positions (A→N, etc.)
Step 2Right-shift all letter positions by 1 place
Step 3Increment each letter by 14 positions
Step 4Left-shift all letter positions by 19 places
Step 5Increment each letter by 9 positions
Step 6Enclose result in parentheses: (result)
Example:owl → (wkx)

4.2 Articles

ArticleEncoding
Definite: theAdd prefix t → (t-encoded_noun)
Indefinite: a / anAdd prefix a → (a-encoded_noun)
No articleNo prefix, just (encoded_noun)
Definite:the story is true. → |(t-story)bC90Tb8|
Indefinite:I want to tell you a story. → |I1wB60tC4U3(a-story)|
None:I want stories. → |I1wB60.0(stories)|

4.3 Adjective–Noun Word Order

When an adjective modifies an article-noun phrase, the article-noun is written first, followed by the adjective(s). This reverses the typical English adjective-before-noun order.

English:the big tree
MIN-0:(t-tree)Ba0 [not Ba0(t-tree)]
Multiple:I want the weird, round thing. → |I1wB60(t-thing)Wc9..Ri3|
📌Exception: when a noun is described via the verb 'to be', normal order applies: 'the process is simple' → |(t-process)bC90Sk7|

4.4 Proper Nouns

Proper nouns use the same encoding as common nouns but are enclosed in square brackets [ ]:

Example:Zack → [mujk] (same 6-step encoding)
Example:Zack is a boy → |[mujk]bC90.0(a-lyi)|

4.5 Compound Nouns

Hyphenated compound nouns (e.g. fire-fighter) are merged into one word before encoding:

Example:fire-fighter → firefighter → (rdobpsbopsq)

4.6 Noun + Number Compounds

If a noun is paired with a number (e.g. MIN-0, Cloud9), each part is encoded separately inside proper-noun brackets:

MIN-0:[(wsx){b}]
Cloud9:[(enmvy){a}]

4.7 Colours as Nouns

📌Colours are treated as nouns in MIN-0, not as adjectives. Descriptors like dark, light, pale, fluorescent are adjectives.

Chapter 5

Verbs & The Tense System

5.1 Base Verb Syntax

Syntax: [lowercase][UPPERCASE][digit]
want → wB6 be → bC9 play → pM5 go → gH1

5.2 Verb Prefixes

Eight common English verb prefixes map to single-character prepend codes:

PrefixCharExample
mis-mmislead → dis+lead(lC4) → mlC4
dis-tdisappear → dis+appear(aN0) → taN0
over-ooverestimate → over+estimate(eL8) → oeL8
re-rredo → re+do(dR2) → rdR2
pre-ppretrain → pre+train(tI7) → ptI7
un-uuncover → un+cover(cW9) → ucW9
under-dunderestimate → under+estimate(eL8) → deL8
out-aoutshine → out+shine(sP0) → asP0

5.3 Tense Number System

Tense and aspect are encoded as a decimal suffix appended to the base verb code:

verb_code + tense_number → e.g. pM50 (play, simple present) pM51.0 (played) pM52.0 (will play)

The complete tense table:

GroupTense / AspectCodeExampleEnglish

5.4 Infinitive Form

When a verb appears after 'to' (infinitive), write just the base verb code with no tense number.

Example:I want to go → |I1wB60gH1|
Example:I wanted to kill you → |I1wB61.0kC8U3|

5.5 'To Keep / Continue' verb-ing (codes 0.9, 1.7–2.8, etc.)

For 'to keep doing' structures, append the keep-code to the main action verb:

StructureCode
To keep/continue verb-ing0.9
To have kept verb-ing1.9
To will keep verb-ing2.7
To should keep verb-ing3.7
To could keep verb-ing7.8
To might keep verb-ing9.7
To may keep verb-ing8.7
To would keep verb-ing6.7
To must keep verb-ing5.9
To shall keep verb-ing4.7
Eg 1:I keep forgetting it. → |I1fL30.9i3|
Eg 2:I will keep reminding you. → |I1rH82.7U3|

5.6 'Used to' (code 1.88)

Eg 1:I used to play. → |I1pM51.8|
Eg 2:I used to believe he's lying. → |I1bT01.8H1lF30.1|

5.7 'Can' & 'To Be Able to'

Both 'I can…' and 'I am able to…' share tense code 8.9:

Example:I can play / I am able to play → |I1pM58.9|

5.8 Passive Infinitives

TypeCodeExample
Simple passive infinitive (to be done)0.7this needs to be done → |T11nB70dR20.7|
Continuous passive infinitive9.9this needs to be being done → |T11nB70dR29.9|
Perfect passive infinitive (to have been done)0.8it was expected to have been finished → |i1eP11.4fF00.8|

Negation

15.1 Basic Rule

Add ~ immediately before the first verb in the sentence:

Positive:she is beautiful → S1bC90Bm1
Negative:she is not beautiful → S1~bC90Bm1
Two-verb:I don't want to go → |I1~wB60gH1|

15.2 Contraction Equivalents

All contractions are encoded identically to their full forms (won't = will not, can't = cannot, etc.).

Chapter 16

Imperative Sentences

16.1 Commands / Orders

Start directly with the verb code, no subject, no tense number, enclosed in |…|:

16.2 Requests (Please…)

Enclosed between / and \. No tense number on the verb:

Eg 1:Please sleep → /sQ9\
Eg 2:Please don't sleep → /~sQ9\
Eg 3:Please tell me how to solve it → /tC3I3?wsC1i3\

Chapter 17

Interrogative Sentences & Question Tags

17.1 Questions with Interrogative Pronouns

When a sentence starts with an interrogative pronoun (which already contains '?'), add only a closing '?':

Eg 1:where are you going? → ?lU1gH10.1?
Eg 2:Who are you? → ?pU1bC90?

17.2 Yes/No Questions

Surround with '?' at both ends:

Eg 1:Are you playing? → ?U1pM50.1?
Eg 2:Will you kill me? → ?U1kC82.0I3?

17.3 Question Tags

All question tags are replaced with the adjective code for 'right' (Ri5), enclosed in '?' markers:

..Ri5? (appended after '..' at the clause boundary)
Eg 1:You are studying, aren't you? → ?U1sP40.1..Ri5?
Eg 2:You won't kill him, will you? → ?U1kC82.0H3..Ri5?

Chapter 20

Special Constructs & Edge Cases

20.1 'There is / There are'

Use TR (there) as the subject:

Example:There is time → |TRbC90.0(wods)|
Example:There is no time → |TR~bC90.0(wods)|

20.2 'Going to' vs. 'Was going to'

'Going to' as a future marker = simple future (2.0). 'Was going to' = past continuous of 'go' + infinitive.

Example:I was going to play → |I1gH10.1pM5|

20.3 Sentence with Direct Speech

Commands inside a sentence use the imperative verb-first rule without separate notation. Requests mid-sentence get /…\ wrapping:

Request:if you have something, please let me know. → |(I)U1hD5st../lE3I3kE9\|

20.4 Highly Complex Compound Verbs

'To keep getting used to' = 'to keep verb-ing' + 'to get used to'. Encode each structure separately.

Example:I keep getting used to forgetting this → |I1gD80.9fL31.80T11|
