Carlos- i suggest posting your email address so we can
reply to you personally as opposed to adding more
traffic.
I'm fluent in English, conversational in French and
barely so in Esperanto
This language looks like Ido and then lojban- lojban
is NOT supposed to be regonizable, but rather each
word should have a COGNATE for 4 of 5 languages.
Therefore i think your poll is bunk- also since there
are proper nouns in it, it reinforces my opinion- i
suggest you change the wordlist
