This is a good point, and the more I think about it, I think that two or three well-chosen auxlangs would serve the purpose the natlangs were meant to (provide some recognisable element) without overloading the shirt---and then we could say they were *all* conlangs. Based on a mix of historical importance and variety, I'd say that the auxlangs to be included should be Volap=FCk, Esperanto, and Interlingua, and Lojban if you count that as such. For variety of look, I think that we're well set with the long list of conlangs that have been provided.... :) --=20 -=3D-Don Blaheta-=3D-=3D-dpb@cs.brown.edu-=3D-=3D-<http://www.cs.brown.edu/= ~dpb/>-=3D- Why do they put braille on the number pads of drive-through bank machines?
