I suppose it was a rather obvious project.  Incidentally, there is a
Romanceoid orthography for this thing - it looks kind of like this:

Çosu lae cerra cenaeroun ouna sola linca. Los homos aeroun ael Orienci es
illos inconceras ouna flencia in Shinar es illos inael. Illos tixeroun los,
"Nos fajamou laseris, es nos çorramou los." Illos usilisaeroun laseris loco
lae lefis, es Pisoumenou loco lae Mocerarou. Illos tixeroun los, "Nos
fajamou ounou statou koum ouna toura, fe frodouxerebit ael Caelu"
