Takumi (735) is a minimalist constructed language (Conlang) defined by the following design architecture:
- Minimal Phonology (6 Phonemes): The sound inventory is restricted to only 6 phonemes for maximum accessibility: 3 consonants (k, m, p) and 3 vowels (a, i, u).
- Extreme Lexicon (9 Monosyllables): The core vocabulary consists of exactly 9 monosyllabic roots.
- Core Phonotactics: These 9 roots are generated from a strict CV (Consonant-Vowel) structure: ka, ki, ku, ma, mi, mu, ta, ti, tu.
- Fundamental Pronouns: Three of the nine roots serve as essential singular pronouns: mi (I), ku (you), and ta (he/she/it).
- Base Numerical Indexing: Each of the 9 monosyllables is numerically indexed from 1 to 9, following its alphabetical order.
- Unique Text Encoding: The language operates as a coding system: any text in Takumi is represented as a single natural number. Punctuation and formatting (space, dot, newline, double newline, comma, colon) are encoded by the continuous count of the digit 0 (zero).
- Encoded Identity: The project number, 735, is a direct, programmatic reading of the name: ta=7, ku=3, mi=5.
- Linguistic Metadata: The name Takumi (derived from ta-ku-mi) encapsulates its core purpose: communication, community, and interaction.
- Project Status: Currently in development, distributed under the MIT License.
