X-2 is an experimental language by Jörg Rhiemeier. Like its older cousin X-1, it is not meant to be naturalistic and has no conculture attached.

The syntax of X-2 is not based on tree structures as in human natural languages, but on a LIFO stack, similar to the Forth programming language and Jeffrey Henning's Fith.

X-2 is still very much under construction.

Morphology

X-2 is an isolating language; there are no derivational or inflectional affixes. The morphology used is self-segregating. Each morpheme is an alternating sequence of consonants and vowels beginning and ending with a consonant. Thus, there are no vowel clusters and no consonant clusters within morphemes. On the other hand, all morpheme boundaries are marked by a consonant following a consonant. For example, the phoneme sequence balakturmenispol can only be broken up into morphemes as balak-tur-menis-pol.
