This site is dedicated to the support and growth of the instrumentation language. (en Español)
Instrumentation is a human language, a universal remote and (potentially) a universal translator. Instrumentation is designed to (ultimately) be used with chorded keyboards.
The theory behind the universal translator is that people who speak different languages should be able to communicate without learning a new vocabulary, as long as they all use the same (simplified) syntax.
Instrumentation is still in its infancy, so the vocabulary is minimal (about six million translated English terms out of four billion potential positive terms) and the correspondence between that vocabulary and the philosophical goals of the language is rather weak. My hope is that Instrumentation can evolve to fulfill its potential with the help of language lovers like yourself.
My other premise is that anyone who can learn Chinese can eventually learn to read and enter Instrumentation glyphs directly. Fortunately, as an automated language, Instrumentation can be used immediately by anyone regardless of their fluency.
These tutorials cover the basics of using the language in its
current form.
