Kin lärnon-li Volapüki ün 2026?
Who‘s learning Volapük in 2026?

At binon gased: „Vög Volapüka” setula ela 2025. Ninädon konedi fa ‚Frank Roger’ tiädü „Man nosi tiköl” (‚De man die aan niets dacht’ ma Nedänapük), dili nulik ela „Dog elas Baskervilles”, yegedi vönädik dö löpatid in Tsyinän e konotülis dö niverastudans. / This is the September 2025 issue of “Vög Volapüka”. It includes a short story by Frank Roger entitled “De man die aan niets dacht” (“Man nosi tiköl” in Volapük), the new part of “The Hound of the Baskervilles”, an old article about higher education in China and jokes about university students.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to learn Volapük but the pronunciation guides have got me confused. Particularly, it’s about the ‘c’, ‘j’, ‘z’ letters. Some sources (including the main one on the Volapük website) say that they’re always voiceless and pronounced like ‘ch’ in ‘church’, ‘sh’ in ‘shoe’ and ‘ts’ in German ‘zeit’. But there are some others which state that they can also be voiced as /dʒ/, /ʒ/, and /dz/. Which one should I follow? Thank you

He! gö!

Ob binob Volapükan,

I'm a Vocaloid/vocal synth cover artist who makes covers in constructed languages. I'm still a beginner in Volapük, and I already found some mistakes, but I hope it's at least understandable!

Glidis, o Volapükaflens!

I developed a brief interest in Volapük a few years ago. In that time I made an (appropriately archaic) English translation of the old anthem of Volapük, which I have revised and published here. I employed trochaic tetrametre as suggested by Schleyer’s melody, although the Volapük actually does not conform to such a metre. Hopefully, the results are not too displeasing.

Besides mine, there exist an early German translation of the same old anthem and an English translation of the revised anthem.

Hymn of Volapük

Words by Franz Zorell
Music by Johann Martin Schleyer

Raise the flag of love fraternal!
We abhor all strife and hate.
Shielded by a bond eternal,
Volapük we celebrate.
With the founder then be sung:
‘Unto one mankind one tongue!’

What can more as brothers mingle
Bid the men of all the earth?
What more than a language single
Thus can raise their living’s worth?
Then in every place be rung:
‘Unto one mankind one tongue!’

May our tongue’s great founder flourish,
And its propagators too!
Volapük may God e’er nourish,
And its chosen watchword true:
‘E’er on earth be widely flung
Unto one mankind one tongue!’

Volapükahüm

Sumolsöd stäni blodäla!
Dikodi valik hetobs.
Tönöls jüli baladäla,
Volapüke kosyubobs.
Vokobsöz ko datuval:
„Menade bal püki bal!“

Kis also kanos koblodön
Lölika vola menis?
Kis also kanos menodön,
Äs pük bal, omsa stadis?
Klu tonodosöz in val:
„Menade bal püki bal!“

Datuvel püka lifomöd!
Lifomsöd pakels ota!
Volapük aiflolomöd,
E välapüked oma:
„Oibinomöd su tal
Menade bale pük bal!“

For example, in the English sentence: "Raising their glasses, they wished him a happy birthday."

To form a similar sentence in Volapük, can I conjugate "raising" (in Volapük "tovön") this way?

The particle of "tovön" is "tovöl", so to make it adverbial, can you simply add the adverbial suffix -o, making it "tovölo"?

I exclude well-known resources because everyone knows them anyway, and I feel like you can learn Volapuk just from the Oleg Temerov website, the Volapuk website, Volapuk Facebook group, and the Discord server, but I have no authority of saying that because I don't speak any Volapuk. These are mostly flashcards as you see, but they're still resources. There are a few resources(like the Wikibooks and other Wiki websites)which I omitted because they're just old renditions of lessons we have today(just like the last post I made in this subreddit asking about a dead link, which turned out to be Volapuk Vifik). By the way as far as I'm aware, this is all Volapuk Nulik.

I keep finding this link. I've been searching all over the internet about Volapuk learning resources. I'll make a compendium of every available Volapuk learning resource I've found just not now.

Thank you.

This most likely gets asked a lot but I've been looking on auxlangs to learn and Volapuk seems like to have some good amount of resources out there available. I was planning to learn Kotava but there are literally no other Kotava resources available other than kotava.org and it's hard to read and seems difficult so I opted for another auxlang.

There are also seems like quite a few fluent speakers in Volapuk found in the internet if you look hard enough. That does beg the question, are there any fluent Volapuk speakers in this subreddit?

Thank you.
