Elefen is a constructed international auxiliary language designed for simplicity, ease of learning, and cross-cultural communication. Created by Benjamin Zimmer in 2001, Elefen aims to be a neutral, non-political language that reflects the commonalities of major world languages. It features a streamlined grammar with only three tenses, minimal inflection, and a relatively small vocabulary derived from Latinate, Germanic, and Slavic roots. Elefen prioritizes transparency and accessibility, making it ideal for beginners and those seeking a simple and effective means of communication across language barriers.
