aUI, also known as "the language of space" is an auxlang created in the 1960s by John W. Weilgart, "an Austrian-born Iowa psychiatrist who claimed to have learned the language as a young boy from a little green elf-like humanoid from outer space."(1)
As this language is supposedly used by "aliens", according to its author, this qualifies it as an exolang. The language is an engelang and loglang due to its complex internal structure (a hint of which can be given by examining just a few words from the vocabulary list):
- "animal" is os "life-thing"
- "domestic animal" is bos "together-life-thing"
- "dog" is waubos "power-space-human-together-life-thing
- "cat" is bo*zvos "together-five-part-active-life-thing" (1)
