 I missed out on it the first time, but I've got to admit, it was pretty 
funny. He even gave himself a name just to try to sell his language on this 
board. I referred to the concept of Romaklono as a "jokelang", but from a 
reference on another post on the archives that week, it seems the term 
"hoaxlang" is already in use for this type of conlang.

>I guess this "Romaklono" has already been done!!! :))
 Actually, I was thinking of going into greater detail on the utopian, 
solve-the-world's-problems hype. Speculating on what would happen if we 
taught Romaklono to the people of East Timor and what they'd all be saying 
after a few lessons. Showing how posts full of Internet holy wars would be 
translated in Romaklono, so they would read something like this:

 Demanding that Dubya and Saddam Hussein both be taught Romaklono to see how 
the peacekeeping process goes, as as we all know the English-Arabic 
discrepancy is really what's responsible for their differences. Suggesting 
teaching pot-smoking, daisy-distributing hippies and holstered-gun cops to 
understand the spirit of unity and brotherhood through learning Romaklono, so 
the marijuana arrests and name-calling would finally end. Giving detailed 
explanations of the simplicity and universality of the Romaklono words for 
"garlic", "onion", "strawberry", "cilantro", "mango", "carrot" and "apricot", 
and then suggesting that this would all make it easier when holding talks on 
the topics of nuclear war and debt Reaganomics. Even rewriting _Mein Kampf_ 
in Romaklono.

 Besides, Idino was much sluttier in its emphasis than the pages on 
Euroclones are. They tend to be staler and don't even seem to imagine the 
existence of dirty words. And Romaklono would be much more purely Romance in 
its vocabulary than Idino. What a typical language like Romaklono would do 
was claim to be all about cultural diversity, while in fact 100% of its words 
would be the same roots Romance languages use to refer to things.
