Balaibalan
Definition
- Balaibalan is an early constructed language, written with the Ottoman alphabet (Arabic script). The grammar follows the lead of Persian, Turkish and Arabic. The sole documentary attestation of Balaibelen is a dictionary, copies of which are to be found in the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris and in the Princeton University Library. Balaibalan may have been created by 14th century mystic Fazlallah Astarabadi, founder of Hurufism, or collectively by his followers in the 15th century.
