Europanto, that's the lingua franca now. I'd like to see more of it in
mulinux. The place to start on the web is:
http://www.uchrony.be/europanto/europanto.html
Also see Diego Marani's grammaire of l'Europanto. M. Marani was the
"traducteur au Secrétariat général du Conseil des Ministres de l'Union
Européenne à Bruxelles, a mis au point une nouvelle langue qui va sans
doute un jour permettre à tous les Européens de communiquer entre eux
sans problèmes... Il a commencé par écrire une série d'articles à
caractère humoristique qui ont paru et paraissent toujours dans le
journal Le Soir Illustré(commentaire). Mais d'autres sont entrés dans
l'histoire de l'Europanto? depuis, et vous pouvez maintenant le
découvrir ici même sur le TAM. Amusez-vous bien !!!!"
Look-ez usted at his 'Grammaire' de l'Europanto:
http://www.uchrony.be/europanto/gram.en.html
No longer fractured English! Now we have Europanto. Viva Europanto.
May it become the official langue of mulinux, the lingua mulinuxiensis
muy officialisimo por todos of us all.

When I first saw this movie I didn't understand the slang. Then years
later in college I saw it again and recognized all the phrases from my
semester of Russian. Ah, Russian, harsh, yet melodic, and as hard to
wrap
your tongue and lips around as Klingon. By the way, Klingon was
designed
to be hard to speak. They never thought someone would want to learn
it.
:-) The fractured English and Italian is much easier to understand
than
those.
