I was warned not to discuss auxlangs here but I could not help this time and
made the mistake to ask in a previous post what neo-Latin conlang would most
appeal to fellow conlangers speaking a Latin language for the only sake of
curiosity. So John Petry was trying to convince me. Well, as we say in France :
'chassez le naturel par la porte, il revient par la fenetre'. I can understand
that the friendly atmosphere on CONLANG makes AUXLANGers feel like discussing
auxlangs here. I used to think that there may be two ways of discussing an
auxlang : as works or as tool, as expression or as finality, as conlang or as
faith. I can see now that finality always supersedes and prevails. Internoi
interretorna a internostre international interagneles = accurate
Interlatinguical translation of the French say : 'retournons a nos moutons'
(hold on, I'm just kidding. By no means is this a critic against
Ovinlinguaaaah. Let these shears down.)
