Yawn!

[John E Clifford]

Having written up my trial format for the languages I know best, I am at a loss
what to do next.  I have some general articles promised but feel ununspired; I
want to do another language.  I know about some of your personal languages,but
these seem to me an ill-advised place to go on to now; do you have any
suggestions for languages (preferably NOT auxlangs) I might look at?

Please tell me the languages you know already. I have some ideas (based on
own experience) but would like to specify it on your language profile.

Communication is essential. So we need decent tools when communication is
lacking, when language capability is hard to acquire...

Sonja mentioned to me Aaron Chapman's Somish, which is another
miniature artlang/auxlang not terribly dissimilar to Toki Pona.

Voksigid, by Bruce Gilson and others, was an interesting engelang
project of the early 1990s -- you may know more about it than I do.  I
wrote up a brief account of it for the conlang_learners list recently.

I've recently been studying Kaleissin's Taruven, an artlang with
engelangy aspects, with a high-tech fictional setting (e.g., it has
words for "Dyson sphere" and such-like).

toki pona and aUI.  As I say, these are the ones I know best.
