I started one. I called it Feringistani. There are some posts about it
archived on the list back in 2001. It borrowed quite heavily Alan
Corre's Glossary of Lingua Franca at http://www.uwm.edu/~corre/ . I've
always felt I should relexify it because it impinged on somebody else's
work, a task I've never found a way forward on. So the language has not
been posted anywhere for review. It is extent to the point that I
filled a copy of Rick Harrison's Universal dictionary for it. I
started writing a grammar for it based on an Introduction to
Neo-Melanesian. That stalled because I wasn't satisfied with a calque
of *bastanza* for *inap*, and I have since returned the grammar to its
owner. I still have both files. It's a nice looking language and I
use it if I need a quick and dirty translation language.
