    Well, granted, I'd need three days, maybe a week, but it's not that hard,
I think, if you're only coming up with the grammar, the phonology, syntax,
morphology, et cetera, and not a full lexicon.  Of course, I'm assuming a
universal language would be totally created with no outside influences
whatsoever, save for which phones to choose.  I imagine it would be more
difficult for those who feel the need to borrow words from a number of the
world's languages.  But anyway, it's April, and if I were to imagine a
deadline, it'd be some time in July, so that's two-three months; not bad, I
think.
