Z4 (improved version of Old Zokale) is currently under development. Therefore, the language specifications are changing almost daily. The contents of the Z4 blog are already outdated and are currently completely useless. Since it would be a lot of work to close the site and reopen it, we will leave it as it is without updating it until the specifications are solidified to a certain extent. Thank you for your understanding.

I found some errors in the explanations of indefinite expressions written on the “Compound Words” page. If my health is okay, they will be corrected in the near future. It seems that the result of referring to both Esperanto correlatives and similar expressions in English has been a contradictory definition.
It's still June, but it's already hellishly hot in Japan, with temperatures exceeding 38 °C (100.4 °F). My room temperature also reached 35.8 °C (94.44 °F). Development of Zokale may be suspended until October. This heat is extremely painful for me as an elderly person. Using the air conditioner all the time can make my unwell, so this is not a realistic option.

Three draft markers have been provisionally added to the marker lists. It has also been added to the English version. And, we have complemented the explanation of indefinite expressions on the Compound Words page.
ZokaleN/N2 2025.6.2.1
ZokaleU/UX 2025.6.2.2
The glyphs for the colon and semicolon look similar and are difficult to distinguish, so we made a slight change to the glyph for the semicolon.
I have published the PDF and Markdown + XHTML versions of the 3rd edition of the word dictionary (version 2025.4.24.1) on Dropbox (sorry, only in Japanese). The 2nd edition (version 2024.8.14.1) is also available, but I plan to delete it in the future. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/02c9r81ihsflukr8u6mvs/AJTkcdwBNMKo1nLSC6OawYg?rlkey=2sz58wb7cz2ipn4kilyi0ooy6&st=bukjurun&dl=0
I've just finished translating the chapter 1 of a novel. It's difficult to translate the original Japanese text without any problems. It would be easier if I used the same alternative expressions as when translating from Japanese to English, but I would like to reproduce the Japanese text as faithfully as possible. However, a conlang that can perfect of Japanese would just be a cipher and not a conlang. I want to be careful not to fall into that trap.
The large-scale vocabulary expansion was completed in late April. Currently, I am translating a novel I wrote as a hobby into Z4 to investigate vocabulary deficiencies and problems with existing words. In other words, the changes to existing words will continue for a while. At the same time, I have also resumed grammar development for Z4. The changes may mainly involve changes to the notating or an expansion of the range of notating.

語彙が増えれば増える程、既存単語の問題点が明らかになり、大量の修正を余儀なくされる事態が続いている。この事態は語彙の拡充が一段落するまで続くだろう。分類名詞(=固有名詞)の辞書化もしたいが、同じ綴りで全く異なる意味を許容しているため、混乱を招く恐れがある。また際限がない事、ゾカレと、古ゾカレ&Z4で扱える表現が違う(後者は長音･促音･促長音が使える)事も制作を躊躇わせる原因となっている。
• 横断歩道は左右を見てから渡りましょう
• kita matale ima basene ya ego owa obu kusigosilana kabelanedoboge.
• ※「左右」がmatale ima basene(右と左)と冗長になる
日本語だと簡素だがZokaleだと冗長になる表現を改善するために2つの単語の内一方を書けばもう一方の対義語を内包する形で略せる「対義語内包マーカー oni/one」というものを考えてみた。
上記の「左(と)右」だとoniの後にmatale(右)かbasene(左)を置けばもう一方の対義語を内包させる。つまりmatale ima beseneと同義だ。
• kita oni matale ya ego owa obu kusigosilana kabelanedoboge.
oniとoneの2つある理由はoniは「と(ima)」なのに対しoneは「または(imo)」で意味が異なるため。
• 左右何れかを選んで下さい。
• owa obu balita one matale.
Artificial international auxiliary language Zokale has a vocabulary of over 10,000 words.

暫くは語彙の拡充に専念し、一段落したらZ4の開発を再開する予定。良いお年を。

既存単語の変更点が多いため、詳細はTumblrで。500字では更新内容を書けない事が多くなったため、今後もマイクロブログ系ではリンクのみの投稿になるかも知れない。
I created a Tumblr community for “Zokale”, but unlike Discord and Reddit, there is no function to create threads. Was I premature?
