Synopsis

A practical guide to a new trade language that tools business English with quick learnability.

This pamphlet argues for a condensed, Anglo-American trade language designed for universal use in global business. It explains how such a language could be easy to learn, regular, and expandable, while retaining the core ideas of English. It also shows how it can be written quickly by hand, printed in type, or used on a typewriter or linotype, with an emphasis on stenographic forms that save time and effort.

Readers will find concrete principles and examples that illustrate how the language could be built: its compact structure, monotone syllables, and a phonetic alphabet suited to printing. The text introduces key ideas like selective agglutination, shortened word forms, and metathesis to explain how complex terms can be boiled down to simple, reusable elements. It also presents sketches of how the system could function in everyday tasks, from shorthand notes to dictionary entries and basic translations.

What you’ll experience:
- A framework for condensation and regularity that supports rapid learning and clear communication.
- Explanations of the slen-lk and tatli-lk approaches, and how they help form new words from existing sounds.
- Examples of how long foreign terms can be compacted into single-syllable Glan-ik words.
- A look at skeleton outlines, contractions, and abbreviations that facilitate fast writing and reading.
- A glimpse of the Glan-ik typewriter, printed form, and handwritten shorthand, along with sample vocabulary and foreign-language entries.

Ideal for readers curious about language design, shorthand systems, and practical tools for international trade.
