Universal conlang
This is mine. I'd have all the kids learn both spoken toki pona and the corresponding sign language. It'd rapidly diverge from the canonical version in real world use, and it's more entertaining than strictly practical, but I just think it'd be neat. And it really wouldn't take much time investment to do.
Jen bonega ideo!
Fo unitaa de Arda!
Mia vera amo, la lingvo de la mondo, Esperanto havos ĝia tago! Al la fina venko!
Ahhhhh, la internacia lingvo.
what's wrong with english
the british have been (and will continue to be) so humiliated that there's no reason to even be ashamed of it
Chauvinism. The world language should be derived from languages across the world, not just Indo-European ones (looking at you Esperanto!)
yea but there is no such conlang around today
I think it's better to adopt english and have a large decolonial movement that sets up a parallel Wikipedia where plants and animals and everything else are named after their actual native names instead of "lord smittlington's small pepper"
I said english was good because esperanto is no better, and everyone already speaks english
Fuck english, its too internally inconsistant
Yeah, but it gets the point across.
