i love the idea of creating conlangs. i’ve experimented with the idea of them in years past but have never done anything with them, let alone created one.
i did create some toki pona-based ones as they consist of few words (~100) but i want to create ones that aren’t just based off toki pona.
The point of a new universal language is to be extremely easy to learn, short and efficient. Esparanto is very clear in ripping off Spanish. Everything is long winded, inefficient ends with with an A.
I will admit that Esperanto is long-winded at times but I can’t take you seriously when the only example of copying Spanish that you put forward is a word that is shared across languages. I’m willing to bet that you don’t even know what the ‘a’ suffix means in Esperanto seeing as you think every word ends with it.
The word to be in Esparanto is “estas”
The you form of “to be” in Spanish is “estas”.
You can paste any Esparanto sentence and it will 100% sound Spanish to someone who does not know Esparanto.
Do you know any Spanish?
