Mnemonic Human Communication Code (MHCC)
The MHCC is something mankind should develop for the preservation
and standardization of its knowledge culture and so on.
Languages as such go ahead with emotions, feelings hardly fit in
any standard scheme and provide a rich variety of large and funny
ways of expressing oneself.
Thus languages face semantic, syntatic and phonological change,
which is neither stop nor haltable.
The basic idea of a MHCC are :
-1- limitation of types of sentences and their length
(thus no funny playing with main and relativ clauses and
so on)
-2- creation of mnemonic symbol combinations (MSC) for
semantic
concepts
-3- grammar according to the limited set of types of
sentences
-4- an easy system to transform those symbol combinations
into
a sound output which is understand and recognizeable for
humans
-5- translation from MHCC to any other human language should
cause no problem and must be performable by computers
-6- the MHCC must be usable for communication between
humans,
although it surely will not provide the full eloquence
and easiness natural languages do
To point one:
The center of any sentence is the verb and everything else can be seen
as an attribute to the verb. These attributes can have further
attributes
and so on and somehow they can be linked with other sentences and so
on.
This is however difficult accomplished in all human languages.
To point two:
The latin alphabet is the most used limited set of symbols used for
communication throughout the world and I see no reason for abandoning
that. However words are quite large and theoretically four or five
letter combinations would be sufficient to represent a semantic
concept.
Theoretically this allows around eleven million combinations.
For example INAT would form a good four symbol MSC for what is
summarized
under the English word international.
One could group those symbols like in Hangeul so that reading would be
faster , so that INAT would be printed like
IN
AT
To point three:
Well , many ideas already have been discussed in point one.
To point four:
Nine consonants and three vowels are required to give all letters
of the latin alphabet a monosyllabic name which consists of a consonant
and a vowel.
This way the MSC would become pronouncable.
I even thought of MSC for city, street and place names, which however
should be six or seven symbols long.
To point five:
Of course the output will surely be recognizeable as MHCC output, but
it should be correct and understandable language which comes out.
Thus writing once something in MHCC you would have it in all languages
of the world within practically no time. This means you browse an MHCC
page on the internet but the browser shows it already in your language.
You start reading a novel on the internet and you recognize after some
minutes that it is a computer generated MHCC output.
To point six:
Maybe it would be unusual cumbersome and so on, maybe it would be like
using a morse code or typing with one finger but you would get your
doughnut , withdraw some money from your bank account and see the
charming
smile of a chinese girl after you told her that you love her or maybe
you just write it in your portable computer and get the sound output
of it the local language.
Perspectives:
Maybe a large amount of laws, government papers, manuals,homepages
would be written in the MHCC and to a far lesser extent also
read in the original. Maybe it would not be read at all.
Maybe using MHCC will become as common as type writing , using
computers , mobile phones or the internet.
To avoid disturbing copyright laws a MHCC should be an open source
project and come together with Linux or so. Maybe we could give
everything a MSC.
