The only form of communication common to all people is a punch in the face,
but neither hispanophones nor zipangophones are very profilic on this list,
neither do they amount to an porportion of the world's population as do
sinophones, and other collapses of labials are irrelevant to the sensibility
of keeping /b/ and /v/ apart.

i know a least one other form of communication common to all people--especially
common to my current neighbours next door.
[now ready for IALF (IAL flaming):]
i'm shocked that you despise south america and japan so overtly and want to
impose a chinese phonology to the whole world and i don't understand why keeping
<p> (p/b/f ) and <w> (w/v/B) apart is less sensible than /b/ vs. /v/ but i
propose to settle all this with the following arrangement: your IAL gets all the
green countries on the Risk board and mine gets all the blue ones. no, wait, i
get the brown and yellow too--i can't remember the Risk board anymore. let me
check and post again. BTW: no throwing dice--hammering fingers with an esperanto
dictionary only. ready?
