Actually, this is difficult for speakers of Polynesian and many Asian
languages to speak.  The language 'E' (Prime-E) is much superior, as it
omits any troubling consonants.

Here is the Babel Text in E:

1. E e e e e e e e e.
2. E e e e e e e e e e e e, e e e e e e e e e e e e e, e e e e e e-e.
3. E e e e e e, E, e e e e, e e e.  E e e e e e, e e e e e e.
4. E e e, E, e e e e e, e e e e e e e e e e e e e; e e e e e e e e e e, e e
e e e e e e e e e e e.
5. E e E e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e.
6. E e E e, E, e e e e e e e e e e e; e e e e e e e e e e e; e e e e e e e e
e e.
7. E, e e e e e e e e e e e e, e e e e e e e, e e e e e e e e e e.
8. E e E E e e e e e e e e e; e e e e e e.
9. E e e e E E, e e e E e e e e e e; e e e e E e e e e e e e e e.

And a loose translation:

1. And all the earth had one speech and one tongue.
2. And it came about that in their wandering from the east, they came to a
stretch of flat land in the land of Shinar, and there they made their
living-place.
3. And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks, burning them
well. And they had bricks for stone, putting them together with sticky
earth.
4. And they said, Come, let us make a town, and a tower whose top will go up
as high as heaven; and let us make a great name for ourselves, so that we
may not be wanderers over the side of the earth.
5. And the Lord came down to see the town and the tower which the children
of men were building.
6. And the Lord said, See, they are all one folk and have all one speech;
and this is only the start of what they may do; and now anything they try to
do will not be kept from them.
7. Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their speech, and give
them other words beside 'E', so that they will not be able to make
themselves understood to one another.
8. So the Lord God sent them away into every part of the earth; and they
gave up building their town.
9. So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away the meaning of
all tongues; and from there the Lord sent them away over all the side of the
earth.

A clear analysis of verse 7 indicates that the E text is in fact the
original Babel Text.  That other texts were derived from this can be seen by
their omission of the critical clause in verse 7.

Now only is E a valid auxlang, but as the only word spoken by children
raised by wolves, it is clearly the First Language of Man.  So it is an
auxlang and a godlang, and everyone should learn it.

E!
