I have an auxlang I'm working on called Ingli which is mostly rooted
in English. It started as a combination of a spelling reform
combined with a simplified phonology, then I took it further by
giving it a simpler grammar (something more like a pidgin or
creole). I am also reducing the vocabulary so it isn't so bloated,
especially by eliminating synonyms and using a few forms which are
more "international".
Some samples (this language is still in early development so changes
may occur)
