You misinterpret!!!! There is an old Conlang
T-shirt project that you may not be familiar
with, namely, to translate the phrase "Fight
Language Death: Invent a Language!" and put it on
a T-shirt. That was eventually done (and there
was much rejoicing!), and provided inspiration
for our Wiley Oriental Gentleman to give it a
GomiLego spin. To wit: " GomiLego is a futuristic
polyglot-lexifier creole "mesolect"/"mixed
language." Some of the _main_ contributing
polyglot-lexifiers are English; various Romance
languages like Italian, French, Spanish;
Sanskrit; German; Dutch;
Japanese; "Romanized" Chinese; ISV (International
Scientific Vocabulary)
Greco-Latin roots and "technocultural" slang.
Like many creoles, much of GomiLego's lexemes
are highly "mutated" from the original lexemes. "
To the various "Romance languages" he could add
my own Kerno, which has contributed the GomiLego
word 'riipong' (<repong) meaning fix up. I
consider it a solemn honour when a fellow
conlanger sees fit to borrow one my poor
language's words into his own.
Kerno itself is a voracious borrower, saver,
salvager, recoverer, scavenger and
recycler - but is restricted to taking only from
langauges (constructed or real) that inhabit its
alternate history timeline. I'm not sure if
GomiLego is *there* or not.
Padraic.
