'''Lortho''' ([[wiktionary:International_Phonetic_Alphabet|IPA]]: [ˈloɾ.tʰo]) is an [[wikipedia:A_priori_and_a_posteriori|a priori]] [[wikipedia:Constructed_language|constructed language]] I conceived in the beginning of 2003. It originally started as a prop for a strategy board game where only the [[wikipedia:writing system|script]] was created for aesthetics. It is an [[wikipedia:agglutinative language|agglutinating]] language with some minor [[wikipedia:fusional_language|fusional]] aspects.
