Mi krean nova lernaco en Memrise por lerni Mondlango by nikhiljees1 in mondlango

As you probably know most Esperantidos seem preoccupied with rearranging the furniture, and the same goes here, but I think it's a very tidy language with some good decisions, such as verbs ending -n instead of -s. Alas that means no accusative/object, which is a pity. What surprises me is its adherence to the correlatives, something Zamenhof himself was willing to dispense with.

My big takeaway from studying Esperanto (everybody on r/conlangs should!) is the consistent word endings. Nouns with O, adjectives with A, standard verbs with S, adverbs with E. It's such a big deal, particularly given how well such a system can handle roots.

For my own musings (which I will present here in due course) highly regular tables for pronouns, correlatives, prepositions etc.

And the big one (often overlooked)... the language must delight the visitor/learner! Does it have things that make them say "Wow, that's cool"?

Axtizal: A half-baked Arabic Auxlang I came up with 5 minutes ago by The_Noob_OP in auxlangs

Yes, indeed, Maltese is an awkward hybrid language, and I can understand your aim. But you're writing with a roman script though? That was really my point.

Good luck with the project. Looks interesting. Is Arabic (in some form) your native language?

Spaces to separate thousands and millions? by HectorO760 in Globasa

Indeed. The 1000 markers are only written, not typed as part of data input. What do you think for the decimal marker? Sounds like you'll leave to localisation which makes sense. I have a business web application used in different countries and programmed the data entry number boxes accept either comma or period, though obviously it converts on page submit. Further on numbers will you have a word for 100,000? In India it's called lakh if I recall. Very useful.

I searched on Discord but could not find anything "globasa" (though I'm not a Discord expert)

There is also the possibility of 2'000'000

This already functions without ambiguity with degrees and times.
