一个语言给不给力还是在於它能不能达到它的目的。Ithkuil的目的根本不是要人流利地说出来,它是要最清晰、最逻辑、最准确、最简洁的方式以人的语言作媒介去表达意思。原文摘录如下:
"For me, the greater goal is to attempt the creation of what human beings, left to their own devices, would never create naturally, but rather only by conscious effort — an idealized language whose aim is the highest possible degree of logic, efficiency, detail, and accuracy in cognitive expression via spoken human language, while minimizing the ambiguity, vagueness, illogic, redundancy, polysemy (multiple meanings) and overall arbitrariness that is seemingly ubiquitous in natural human language."
以这个标准来说,我认为Ithkuil达到了它的目的。说真的我并没有去看完整个语法资料,但它的例子的确十分别出心裁。他用描述一幅超现实主义的画作例子:


原文描述:Aukkras êqutta ogvëuļa tnou’elkwa pal-lši augwaikštülnàmbu.
‘An imaginary representation of a nude woman in the midst of descending a staircase in a step-by-step series of tightly-integrated ambulatory bodily movements which combine into a three-dimensional wake behind her, forming a timeless, emergent whole to be considered intellectually, emotionally and aesthetically.’
译文:一个**女人在下楼梯时以一系列一步步紧凑的身体平移运动在身后组成一个立体的轨迹,组成一个突出而逾越时间的、值得在理性、感性和美感层面上深思的虚构表徵。
原文组成方法亦有详述,值得细阅。连结:
