Re: Fun Cultural Experiment

Ideally, we need a few dozen. Twelve is the minimum we need to maintain any sort of momentum.

So feel free to join and to invite others to join as well.

Re: Better realisation of the idea behind English with epist

I can not be the only one here who appreciates neologisms and expansions of previously existing languages.

Conscious applications to language are part of the reason why I hesitate to make a clear distinction between natural and artificial.

Re: Taking Kobaïan seriously

Such a language could be of use to Zeuhl bands (Zeuhl being the progressive rock subgenre spawned by Magma) who want to convey more than just an impressionistic word salad of feelings, but ideas, narratives, and metonymies with subjects and predicates. Kōenji Hyakkei is also another great zeuhl band!

That's the point. Normatively-abled people make unfounded assumptions based on their ignorance which in turn maintains the bigoted status quo.
