I like this one best. It's catchy, since it sort of spoofs the common corporate-ish "We Speak Your Language" slogan. It pokes the softest of fun at both auxlang zealotry ("Will you speak my language? Please?") and artlang/personal language iconoclasm ("My language is mine alone!"). So we're all equally implicated in self-deprecation. :) The slogan also manages not to make the whole enterprise of constructing languages seem boring/stuffy/hopelessly nerdy. So that's a plus. I'd favor this one or "Your language - your rules." Adam P.
