On reading Andrii's post I had thought immediately of Esperanto and _homarismo_. If you can read Italian, see: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homaranismo A better example, however, is probably _Balaibalan_, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balaibalan The idea is certainly not new. But IMO only the language is the proper topic of discussion here. There are more appropriate fora for the religion bit. -- Ray ================================== http://www.carolandray.plus.com ================================== "Ein Kopf, der auf seine eigene Kosten denkt, wird immer Eingriffe in die Sprache thun."
