Sure. I find it all interesting. And then I don't think Italian people would
take it so bad, after all, all main eurolangs have undergone
pidginization-creolization (French, English, Dutch, German... even
Norwegian - was it Russnorsk or Norsruski?). The project is very interesting
also because of its TMA (Time-mood-aspect) system, which expresses tense
with adverbs (pastem etc.) and mood-aspect with musical terms (!): the
language was much inspired by musical creations of its speakers, who started
using 'lento' 'allegro' to express modality & aspect. Really a good work ,
