Scientific language

Scientific, also known as Scholarly, is the dominant language of the academic community. It is spoken by at least 7.8 million people (0.1% of the global population), putting it ahead of other popular languages such as Chechen (1.3 million speakers) and Québécois (7 million speakers). Scientific is an agglutinative language. It uses an extensive number of prefixes and suffixes to change the meanings of words and coin new concepts.

Typological considerations
There is ongoing debate on whether Technical language is a dialect of Scientific language and the latter is a language isolate, or if Technical is a sister language of Scientific and they should be classified as members of a Scientific language family.

Other languages have been proposed as Scientific. Scientists at NASA voiced the idea that Sanskrit could be a Scientific language, which found support among some members of the Indian public. Some other proposed candidates are Korean, Latin and Greek. Historian and slavist Michael D. Gordin proposes an especially large grouping of Scientific languages: "Arabic, Chinese (classical), Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek (ancient), Italian, Japanese, Latin, Persian, Russian, Sanskrit, Swedish, Syriac, and Turkish (Ottoman)". Aside from Korean, most of these languages already have established genetic classifications, which raises a number of questions. Especially notable is the profusion of Indo-European languages among the proposals. This raises the possibility that Scientific languages are a sister family of Indo-European. This may also serve as evidence that Scientific language is the oldest language in the world.

Artificial intelligence
Some scholars argue that the Scientific language is more difficult to comprehend than other languages due to its high lexical density. This would make it another good candidate for use in supercomputing and AI alongside Sanskrit. There is some evidence that Scientific language is already being used in artificial intelligence research.
