I think IIRC there is officially (documented) 3 or 4 rival Novials last
time I checked.
I, too, like Novial a lot, even a couple of its variations. Interlingua
comes in a distant 2nd. Glosa a close 3rd (I usta be a Glosa-ist until I made
the unpardonable sin of questionin' the Glosa founders rather pitiful-&-dubious
knowledge of linguistics as well for the heretical act of suggestin' the idea
of a way more naturalistic pidgin/creole-like version of Glosa).
