Ahoı íme súq Tóaqzu ka!

Welcome to Toaq!

Introduction

Toaq is a constructed language—specifically a logical and artistic language—created by Hoemaı and developed and maintained by a community of speakers. It is tonal (meaning change in pitch results in change in meaning) and is meant to be fully unambiguous and parsable using predicate logic. If you don’t know what either of those words mean, don’t worry! Tones will be explained in the Phonology chapter, and you can learn Toaq without worrying about logic at all.

Without further ado, let’s get started!
