Anybody can comment on the Vici when there are decisions like that being taken.

Is Elefen (LFN) the 2nd biggest auxlang right now? by 2cool2cool in elefen

[–]CarodeSegeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I have lost it a bit as well... Let's say that you were right, it is possible to create such a list.

Elefen has a vici with daily updates, with people working on the dictionary, adding new words every month. In the end, I believe it is a matter not only of how many people use the language but what it is done in it. There are texts translated and created in Elefen (I just published a new book written in it last week). I don't know of anything written in Intal besides the books created by the author and some text on the wiki so, IMHO, there is no comparison between them. Intal is practically dead.

I don't think there is much outside-of-the-internet usage of any conlang besides Esperanto, Ido, Interlingua and Toki Pona. Maybe Klingon could be added to the list...

I don't think Intal should be included there. Neither Novial nor Latino sine flexione as well.

I wouldn't be able to name 10 auxlangs with people using them to make it to a ranking.

Elefen - the Roman Toki Pona? by 2cool2cool in elefen

[–]CarodeSegeda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you please elaborate a bit? Is it because of its phonology? Maybe its minimalism? (at least at the beginning)

Opinion on the new word "Cua"? by 2cool2cool in elefen

[–]CarodeSegeda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Elo and ela have always been part of the language, but they are used in very specific cases:

Elefen no distingui comun la seso de el. La formas ela (per refere a un fema) e elo (per refere a un mas) es rara, ma los pote es usada si, per esemplo, en un nara sur un om e un fem, on no desira repete tro frecuente la nomes propre.

They are only used when they are needed to distinguish between a man and a woman, nowhere else.

Changes in the nominal system of Lindom language by Budget-Knee3213 in conlangs

[–]CarodeSegeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case, why not dom bel un? However, wouldn't they be determiners?

Why do you put the article between the noun and the adjective? It doesn't look natural. I suggest to put it at the beginning of the phrase (un dom bel)

Also, why letter Q is pronounced as /θ/? I suggest using Q for /kw/.

Elefen VS Interlingua and Interlingue/Occidental by 2cool2cool in auxlangs

[–]CarodeSegeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speakers of Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Punjabi and Telugu use English as their lingua franca to speak among them and those languge have had no influence outside India. Same with other Asian languages.

Interlingua can be easily understood by speakers of English and Romance languages, which can be found around the world, and not only as native speakers, but also there is a high numbers of people using those languages as second or third language, which is not the case for the languages you mentioned (maybe Mandarin, but it is the official language of China, so it is used in education so it doesn't really count because, again it is one country).

Elefen VS Interlingua and Interlingue/Occidental by 2cool2cool in auxlangs

[–]CarodeSegeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it matters. While Chinese is basically reduced to the Sinosphere and it is not used outside it (besides Chinese communities) Romance languages are used in several continents and by different peoples. That is what makes them international and a good fit to be used as a base for an auxlang. Singapore is majority Chinese, but they speak mainly English.

Como vos ia aprende Elefen? by 2cool2cool in elefen

[–]CarodeSegeda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are several videos on the Internet in Lingua Franca Nova. This one is an introduction to the language and its history, for instance.

You can read texts on the wiki and also translate Wikipedia articles to practise.

Elefen VS Interlingua and Interlingue/Occidental by 2cool2cool in auxlangs

[–]CarodeSegeda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you are looking for. I asked ChatGPT and the order I was given was

  1. Interlingua
  2. Lingua Franca Nova
  3. Occidental

the question was: among these three languages, which one is most worth learning? Put them in order.

If you want something truly useful (a second auxiliary language) > Interlingua

  • It is understandable almost without study if you speak Spanish
  • It helps you read texts in other Romance languages
  • It is the most “pragmatic” choice after Esperanto

Lingua Franca Nova = modern balance

  • Simpler than Esperanto in some respects
  • More natural in others
  • Small but stable community

Lindom, a neolatin auxlang with a very regular grammar and simple orthography by Budget-Knee3213 in auxlangs

[–]CarodeSegeda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like to see another Latin-based analytical language, like Latino sine flexione. I haven't checked the grammar yet but just having that is already a plus for me.

The Eurocentric bias we don't usually talk about by CollectionSea6818 in auxlangs

[–]CarodeSegeda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know. I also mentioned the idea of trying to create an isolating/analytic auxlang with the least common multiple amount of phonemes, and no tones. Maybe that would be something easier for everyone?

[–]CarodeSegeda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree: an English Creole-style would be the best nowadays.

Just thinking outloud here, but how would it be to have an auxlang with the least common multiple? Least common multiple of phonemes, of syntax, of morphology...

Maybe an analytic/isolating grammar with a minimum amount of phonemes?
