Re: Take my poll on the Conlang Page

goomeelegoo (at least the current _verzion_ so far) simply is a chaotic,
polyglot*, disorderly mess of a creole - oddly with a VSO word order instead of
the usual SVO! (and a few other "select" juicy violations of them bland
"universals")

Futurism**& "sci-fi style" are major influences...


* "mutated" Italian, English, Japanese, Sanskrit, Dutch/Flemish, Novialized
Frater2/Glosa ;), slang, and onomatopoeia,  etc.

** BTW is, AFAIK, _miraiha_ in Romaji...

     Language[s] change[s]: vowels shift, phonologies crash-&-burn, grammars
leak, morpho-syntactics implode, lexico-semantics mutate, lexicons explode,
orthographies reform, typographies blip-&-beep, slang flashes, stylistics
warp... linguistic (R)evolutions mark each-&-every quantum leap... languages are
