I nominate Uk. Uk is the ultimate in linguistic brevity and perfection.
All statements are to consist of /uk/. Phonologically, it is perfect,
since no culture has an easier time at pronouncing /uk/ than does any
other. This is because /u/ is considered to be equivalent to any
unrounded vowel and /k/ is equivalent to any unvoiced plosive. Thus, [ap]
is phonologically equivalent to [it], both of which are phonologically
considered /uk/.
To demonstrate, I will use Uk to repeat the above paragraph.
Uk. Uk. Uk /uk/. Uk /uk/. Uk /u/ /k/ [ap] [it] /uk/.
Auxlang perfection!
