Earth-bound ;)

g0miileg0 [g0] {Hanuman Zhang} Constructed Creole "Mesolect" Language, highly
polyglot with extensive, modified borrowings from English, Dutch, Japanese,
Romance languages (especially Italian), Sanskrit, Proto-Indo-European and
Germanic, Interlingua, etc. featuring a high degree of slang and
onomatopoeia. Typology: SVO, isolating/agglutinizing with TMA
(Tense-Mood-Aspect) markers. Orthography: Phonemic writing system using
_aelfa-zeita_ - a "restricted" subset of the Roman alphabet, punctuation
marks, numerals, etc.

and no single language is capable of expressing all forms and degrees of
human comprehension." - Ezra Pound

    "One thing foreigners, computers, and poets have in common
is that they make unexpected linguistic associations." --- Jasia Reichardt

    "There is no reason for the poet to be limited to words, and in fact the
poet is most poetic when inventing languages. Hence the concept of the poet
as 'language designer'."  --- O. B. Hardison, Jr.
