    as a creation of yours

    What do you think “hypothetical” means?

    Professorin

    I would definitely bat an eye if somebody came to me with that shit for a language they constructed following an “interna ideo” of universality, peace, and whatnot. I would bat the other eye if besides they came to me saying that a Männin that just had a baby becomes a Väterin, la padra, the fathress, i pateraina.

    ideal lingua-franca

    A language with letters no other language has, and a sound repertoire that offers no improvement over English (even if we reduce the target population to Europe given the community we are in), is far from ideal.

    A fraction of the budget

    … once a critical mass of teachers is achieved, together with native populations big enough to enable linguistic immersion for new learners. Sold separately.
