About Pacifist
Pacifist is the lingua franca and sole official language of the Pacifist Union (Ṇiǩid Syümi). The Pacifist Union, which was founded in 2007 after the Greater Wharian Civil War, is a federalized state in South Western Gondwana on the Paper Globe.
The language was constructed by Gawṇ Siludd in 1887 as an international auxiliary language; his intent was to create a language that is "easily accessible and understandable by all ethnic groups around the Paper Globe." Needless to say, it failed. Its design - which is reaking of Gondwanan phonology and grammar - was deemed unfit for global communication.
