Sona language (artificial)

Sona is a worldlang created by Kenneth Searight and described in a book he published in 1935. The word Sona in the language itself means "auxiliary neutral thing", but the name was also chosen to echo "sonority" or "sound". Sona is an agglutinative language with a strong tendency towards being an isolating language. The language has 375 radicals or root words whose meanings are based on the categories in Roget's original thesaurus. Ideas and sentences are formed by juxtaposing the radicals. Thus, ra "male" plus ko "child" makes rako "boy".
