The language is developing, but that applies to any living language. In Othertongue the development is rapid. Users daily contribute new ovjects (images and words), combinations of ovjects and rules or habits that can be included in the language. This is the platform site where users can contribute.

The language must meet several conditions:

  • The language should use as many images as possible that are already standard
  • The language should be as regular as possible and therefore easy to learn
  • The language must be practical for use on mobile / smart phones and tablets; the less typing the better
  • The language should invite creativity: fewer elements and more combinations
  • The language must express a positive attitude
