Solresol

The goal of Sidosi is to be a comprehensive, up-to-date, and most importantly permanent resource for learning Solresol. Sidosi is currently home to the largest known active Solresol community, as well as the effort to build the world's first comprehensive Solresol translator. Sidosi also hosts a large archive of historical and modern documents about Solresol, as well as publishing its own documents.

— Sidosi.org

Solresol is a constructed language created by François Sudre, which can be played on an instrument, as it is made up entirely out of music notes.

Sidosi.org was a website and community that collected and archived Solresol information aiming for further development of the language. However, the site has languished and become abandoned.

The Bibliotheca Anonoma aims to collect the information back in one place again.

This is a rough to-do list for the wiki. The top-level items would make good general hub pages, and would link to all the more specific parts (e.g. Forms be a general info page that links to another separate page for each form).

Proposed Pages

Dan from Sidosi proposed these other pages on his wiki, but never completed it.

• History
  • Sudre
  • Gajewski
  • Modern Revival
    • Gregory D. Baker
    • Jason Hutchens
    • Stephen L. Rice
    • David Whitwell
    • John Schilke
    • Garrison Osteen
    • Dan Parson
    • T.B. McKenzie (Magickless)
    • Daniel Morozov aka Shido
• Phonology
  • Syllable system
  • "Fixed Do Solfège" ("sol" and "si") vs. "Movable Do Solfège" ("so" and "ti")
    • Note that the "sol/si" and "so/ti" (or, the most common modern form I experience, "sol/ti") forms don't necessarily have anything to do with movable or fixed do, which has to do with whether you allow 'do' to be the base note of whichever scale you're using, or whether middle C is always 'do'.
• Vocabulary
  • Word classifications
  • Opposite words
• Grammar
  • Pretty much all aspects covered in Gajewski's Grammar of Solresol, plus everything else that isn't (yeah, I know that sounds extremely vague)
  • Parts of Speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, prepositions)
• Forms
  • "Full Solresol"
  • "Abbreviated Solresol"
  • "Number Solresol"
  • "Music Note Solresol"
  • "Color Solresol"
  • "Stenograph Solresol"
  • Other Forms?
• Governance
  • How to propose changes
  • Eventually, governing documents and other official information
• Resources (One of Dan's projects for now)
