Zaum

Zaum is a poetic and experimental language developed by early 20th-century Russian Futurist artists and writers, notably Velimir Khlebnikov and Aleksei Kruchyonykh. It focuses on sound, rhythm, and emotion rather than conventional meaning, creating words and phrases that evoke feelings or abstract ideas. Zaum aims to transcend traditional language limits, exploring new modes of expression and perception through invented or altered words. It’s often used in poetry and art to evoke a sense of mystery, energy, or transcendence, emphasizing the power of sound and suggestion over straightforward communication.
