The grammar seems very euroclonesque, the vocabulary rather less so, but on
balance I think it is one.

ObSemiOT: I think the term "euroclone" could better be left without a formal
definition. Instead we'd agree on a few prototypical euroclones, and for
borderline cases we can speak of varying degrees of euroclonicity.

And a question to Nikhil Sinha; the Indika word for "language" is _linguao_.
Does it follow that "linguistic" is _linguaa_?
