Introduction: This language is under construction, but the basis are set. While trying to explain the principles of Landero, I like to use a metaphore, from which I took this language's name: Landero is transformed "lantern", therefore we have the flame, I call logos, it represents the thought. But it is hard to catch, then comes in the lantern, to hold the flame and make it brighter. We will use litle tools, called catalysers, they are very important in grammar... Remember Landero is Logos and Catalysers.

0. TRANSCRIPTION:
This is not yet the Landero Alphabet, but a Phonetic Latin Alphabet for Landero.
*: The french r is used because it makes the r/x relation clear, this phonetic relation doesn't work with either English nor Spanish r, although they are tolerated, but foreign.

1. THE LOGOS :
It represents the thought, in a free but shapeless form.
2. THE CATALYSEURS :
They permit the speaker to put his thoughts in an ordained way, to make it easier to communicate.
2.1. THE REFLECTS :
These are the marks of the subject or object, in many cases it is as personal pronoun. This concept is divided in two parts the first being the position, that is based on the space. The second concept are the qualities of the reflect, that is its nature.
2.1.1. POSITION:
This is the most important part, from the action point of view. There are basic phonic couples: "s/z, t/d, r/x, p/b", they represent the singular and plural form of the 4 first positions. Note that the singular: I, you, he can be combined to make several we and plural you. An interesting feature is the reinforcement of the "I": ze, that represents the "ego" or the intelect (not to be mistaken for the "it", that is the animal "I": se).

2.1.3. QUALITIES:
The major characteristics of a reflect are represented by its quality markers. There are no morphological effects on the verb or any other part of the sentence, depending on the qualities or position of a reflect. Qualities are clues to know morre about the noun group. As in English gender is a quality (he or she), but there are other distinction, concept, matter, life, gender. There is also a special quality that represents the Artificial Inteligence, a tool for scientist, but most of all for novelist. You may feel that this quality classification is personnal but after all, I canët betray my own thinking. But understand that consciousness, is simply defined as a concept: therefore the human being is simply concidered as an animal, crowned by a concept: e + i = ey

2.2.2. CONFIDENCE FACTOR:
This information defines the degree of reality of a fact. Therefore there is no confusion between a question and a remark, nor a fact and a dream... Each level is a deformation of a reflect. "I" is the suggestion (intuitive), "you" (sing) is the question, "one" (plural) is the gossip, whereas "one" (sing) is the hearsay, (lets give these simple definitions: we donët believe the gossip we tell, we are neutral about the hearsay, wereas we believe what our intelect tells us.) Therefore the ego, is used for our opinion. The "he" is used as a material fact, and the "they" as recurent facts, note that the order is what "you all" (will do for me).

2.4. ADJECTIVE MARK:
In most cases you can find the adjective in a noun group by it's position (last), but in order to have things set clear, you can add the adjective marker: "e", that is the verb to be, but you mustn't form the auxiliary complitaly (no tense marks).
2.5. ADVERB MARK:
In most cases you can find the adverb in a verb group by it's position (last), but in order to have things set clear, you can add the adverb marker: "ge", that is the manner complement initialiser.
