Europanto et al.

Europanto: a macaronic conlang.  Information available at
http://www.uchrony.be/europanto/europanto.html , mostly in
Europanto with some French.  There seems to be no formal or
informal description, but there is plenty of text.

Norman Spinrad wrote _The Void Captain's Tale_ and some other
work in a similar Europastiche, and it also reminds me, somehow,
of the treatise on sex quoted in Nabokov's _Ada_:

> "... por un strong-guy contino-contino-contino jusque le plesir > brimz, en svvitchera a l'altra gropa [groove] ... La transita > e facilitata per positio torovago ...
Nabokov goes on to explain that this "positio" is "that adopted in the country by all classes, from the domestic stock to the country gentry".
