Question

Is there a programming language that uses inflections (suffixing a word to add a certain meaning) instead of operators to express instructions? Just wondering.

What I am talking about is using inflections to add a meaning to an identifier such as a variable or type name.
For example:

native type integer

var x : integer = 12
var location : integers = 12, 5, 42
say 0th locationte to_string (( -te replaces "." operator. prints 12 ))

I think Perligata (Perl in Latin) is what you’re looking for. 🙂 From the article

There is no reason why programming
languages could not also use
inflexions, rather than position, to
denote lexical roles.

Here’s an example program (Sieve of Eratosthenes):

    #! /usr/local/bin/perl -w
    use Lingua::Romana::Perligata;
    maximum inquementum tum biguttam egresso scribe.
    meo maximo vestibulo perlegamentum da.
    da duo tum maximum conscribementa meis listis.
    dum listis decapitamentum damentum nexto
        fac sic
            nextum tum novumversum scribe egresso.
            lista sic hoc recidementum nextum cis vannementa da listis.
        cis.
