		<h1>What Lingorator Does<h1>
		</div>
		<p>The main purpose of Lingorator is to help users create their own natural language by automating some of the more time consuming aspects of such an undertaking.</P>
		<p>At its core, Lingorator is a program that translates user input language into a new, freshly generated language</P>
		<p>Lingorator accomplishes its goal by doing the following: </P>
		<ul>
			<li>Generating vocabulary in IPA based on user specified phonotactics</li>
			<li>Re-organizing simple sentences into different world orders based on user preference</li>
			<li>Re-organizing prepositions into postpositions based on the user's preference</li>
			<li>Storing language settings and vocabulary for use at a later time</li>
		</ul>
		<div id="text_div">
		<h1>What Lingorator does not do<h1>
		</div>
		<p>Lingorator does not create entire languages from scratch without user input.</P>
		<p>Lingorator cannot: </P>
		<ul>
			<li>Determine parts of speach or phrase structures without tagging by the user</li>
			<li>Generate vocabulary without user input</li>
			<li>translate complex sentences or more than one sentence at a time</li>
		</ul>
		<div id="text_div">
		<h1>Future plans for Lingorator<h1>
		</div>
		<p>Lingorator is a program that could, given time, be expanded to support more kinds of language and the gramatical features of those languages</P>
		<p>Planned additions:</P>
		<ul>
			<li>The ability to create fusional languages</li>
			<li>Giving users direct control of more variable, such as syllable count per word or morpheme</li>
			<li>Giving users the ability set the head for noun phrases so that they are automatically output in the correct order</li>
			<li>Giving users the ability to determine the frequency of long vowels</li>
			<li>Giving users a method to create tonal languages and mark stress</li>
			<li>The ability to use all word orders, even the less common ones</li>
		</ul>
	</div>
