Novoslovnica is a constructed language created by George Carpow in 2014. Its name is composed by the words nov (“new”) and slovo (“word”). Its main features are lexical purism, wealthy grammar and logical structure.Novoslovnica collaborates with the interslavic community being an auxiliary language. The main idea of the project is to carry out an ideal language that the Slavs can use in international communication including mass media, politics, fiction etc.

Отрывок из книги
Starting this book I would like to appreciate some persons who had great influence on me writing this book. Such a work never can be done with efforts of a single man. I am grateful to those who believed in the project for the whole development period or just for a while.
First of all I want to thank Rafail Gasparyan. I suppose without his help and collaboration this book would have never been finished. And maybe so Novoslovnica would.

• We should choose V for hard ones.
• If there is one consonant and one vowel in the set of the first letter from the temporal word and the last letter from the previous word, we should not add nothing.
