Re: Languages without verbs

    Well, even though I used to be somewhat active on this list, it's been a
long time since I've posted.  I've been only semi-lurking recently, only
reading threads whose titles were especially interesting.  I have to respond
to this, though, as it's right up my alley.

    See my Gladilatian page: http://www.cookhimes.us/glad/lang.htm
Gladilatian has no verbs at all.  Every sentence is a copula.  I haven't
done much work on it since my story A Diamond Found on Paradise (in which
the language plays a significant role) was finished.  See
