Woah, Jay, take a pill, man!  I too thought that maybe reducing it to j=
ust E-o
and Europanto was going a bit over the top, but I count around half a d=
ozen or
so auxlangs that (in this example at least) all appear largely the same=
 (ie a
variation on *"vos lingwa in hisca situ").  I think that's over the top=
 as well.
I think we'd be advised to get that number down to one or two.

As a comprimise, can I suggest (from a purely aesthetic viewpoint, base=
d solely
on the examples on the website) that the following auxlangs remain invi=
olate:

Ekspreso (It's just minimal enough, yet recognisable enough, to intruig=
e)
Esperanto
Europanto (maybe, though "votre sprache goes aqui" might be a better ve=
rsion (En
mein opinion person=E1l))
Glosa
Interlingua IALA
Novial (maybe, though it's still a bit latine)
Solresol (can't this be written on a musical stave, instead of in latin=
 script?)
Unitario (it's fairly latine, but looks (IMO) slavic, so I forgive it)
Volapu"k

Most of these have something the reader could easily grok (the whole pu=
rpose
behind using non-list langs), without overloading the shirt with too ma=
ny things
which are outside the direct scope of this particular list.
