Hmm. Would it be too much to ask for the Latin version, too? On the Net, I
found an English version indeed, but I get the impression that this has not
been your source language. What was the original you used (and where is it ;))?

BTW, what is Eurolingua? Of most Euroclones/IALs/Esperantoids I know at least
their names, and I'm quite sure this is not one of them.

Yes. The references I found to it were from 1998, when Kerno was still Kernu!
BTW I'm grateful to John for keeping the Sessiwn Kemres archives. Often, when I
want to know something, I find it there!

Cool, it looks like a Paesan dialect indeed. I knew that Brithenig and Kerno
had several dialects, but I had no idea they were elaborated to such a degree.
Unfortunately, Wenedyk is still a linguistic monolyth; I have some thoughts
about (IB) Silesian, but for now these are merely thoughts, nothing more.

I will look for it.

Thomas', you mean?

The One And Only IAL?! You mean Kernanto? Ha, don't make me laugh! Just wait
and see: when one nation after another starts to adopt Venedino as its One and
Only Language, then those Kernanto promoting heretics, who have obstructed The
Right Way from the beginning till the end, will simply be nowhere. But of
course, they have nothing to fear. Not much at least. All they need is some
severe reeducation, that's all!

Besides, Venedino's ideas were not stolen at all, but just adopted from The One
And Only Wenedyk.

They will, be sure!

Kernopanto? Ah, you see? Apparently Kernanto was such a complete failure that
they even had to change its name (into an even uglier one, but that aside!).
Let's make it the One and Only IAL for the whole universe, except Earth!
Anyway, whatever signals you transmit into deep space in Kernanto, I doubt
whether the space aliens will pick it up easily, with all these articles!
Venedino at least doesn't have those!

And I had been under the assumption that it should have been something like
["p&dr\Ik].
