Sorry to have joined late but I have been very sick for three days and
my bed has no Internet access :) . I want one of my languages to be on
this T-shirt. The problem is: which one? Here is the choice:
Astou: a Greek-like alphabet, so I can make a postcript by ways of
LaTeX, but my notes on it are in France. So except if you can wait until
January it's not a good idea.
Azak: its own ugly script, written right-to-left, with an alphabet for
the roots and a syllabary for the suffixes. I don't know if I have my
notes here though.
Reman: Romance language, so no problem of font. Not exotic enough if we
put also IALs on the T-shirt in my opinion though.
Moten: Latin alphabet, so no problem here, and exotic enough. I have my
notes here in Eindhoven so I can have the sentence tomorrow (or even
maybe today if I find the words on my webpage).
Notya: a very beautiful script whose corrseponding font has been made by
Boudewijn. As I go to the Rempt's tomorrow, it can be the best idea.
Tj'a-ts'a~n: ideographic script, written right-to-left in columns or
lines. Why not?
Chasma"o"cho: Latin script, but very disturbing writing and use of
umlauts in nearly all words. Can be also a very good idea.
Personnally I think Notya or Chasma"o"cho or Moten are the best
choices, but I can't decide. I try to come up with the sentence this
evening and then I will give the one that I prefer tomorrow. Is that
okay with you?

Esperanto:
Via lingvo staru cxi tie ("let your language stay here")
The cx stands for the c-circumflex of course. I'm not sure about the
verb stari (I haven't spoken Esperanto for a long time now).
