El español romantizado, sin palaras de origen germanico

Mi primera lengua es el español pero no soy muy fluido en la red en comparación con la vida real, por lo tanto pido disculpa por cualquier error que he cometido.

Recíentemente he notado no solo de que hay un movimiento minoritario cuya meta es la purificación de la lengua íngles (Anglish), sino que tambíen, debido a las invasiones de los pueblos barbaros, las lenguas latínas han sido algo contaminados por influencias germanicas: por lo tanto, las lenguas basadas en latín que fueron desarrollados en tiempos donde europa iberana y mediterranea estuvieron bajo el mando politico y etnocultural de los visigodos y los francos, el español y el francés contienen una gran cantidad de palabras de origen germanico.

Estoy aqui porque, gracias a los partidarios del purismo linguistico ingles, ahora tengo un gran interés y curiosidad en como se vera el español, la lengua latína mas empleada en el mundo, sin escribir o pronunciar palabras de origen germanico y extranjero. Muchas gracias en leér, y lamento mucho por mi malempleo de ortografía.

Atentamente

-Presidente Clinton Dempsey

Sad to see no activity here

I've looked at all the IAL options from LFN to Mondial and this is the only one I can see ever getting much traction. Why? Because it would compliment English as a way to learn the latin roots on the cheap. The criticisms on the previous efforts from the naturalistic IAL school are completely spot on.

But this project is not going to go anywhere unless some initial effort is put into translations and a dictionary. I absolutely guarantee that if you do this at some point others will start translating and proposing words and then you can lay back a bit and focus on the words they propose. If you put in the work then people will come in and help.

I'd just create a wiki for the grammar, dictionary, and translations. There could be a special place where people propose words and/or a way to tag them as provisional. I'd also have the language be versioned like it's a software application. Maybe have the non-core dictionary evolve via a system like urbandictionary.

Which are the problems with Interlingua?

Greetings. I am a Spaniard who is currently learning Interlingua (my primary source is this book: https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/1505210364/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), but I do not know much about languages nor linguistics, so I would like to know which are the "many of the problems with Interlingua." Lingula solves.

What language learning methods have you tried?

I was thinking about making some language learning courses in Lingula but I am not sure what the majority of folks find to be effective. I normally use FLR but this language has some inapplicable questions to the FLR method.

What methods have you tried? What worked for you?

Lingula is more complex than it needs to be.

An IAL should have as simple grammar as possible while still being easily understood. There is no need for the long list of grammatical cases or gender cases or even case agreements which only serve to complicate learning. The reason is so that people who do not speak a romance language can easily learn it to communicate in work and daily life in that language with other romance speakers and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Lingula solves some problems of interlingua but not all, and is just way more complicated than it needs to be.

A common problem with interlingua was that it was very difficult to write, learn and use causing many people I interacted with it to give up on it entirely. Made worse by it's grammar or lack there of, being that it seemed designed for academic use rather than for everyday use among the common joe and the writer.

I have no idea if you are a linguist, a polyglot, or have access to linguists. But I highly recommend that this language not just depend on community consensus but also get the opinion of skilled and qualified linguists. There are some areas where Lingula looks and feels better than interlingua but there are other places where it feels like it's taking a step back.

Is Lingula hosted on github?

Just wondering if you thought about doing this. Would be a good place to keep up with the developments in your language. Also, I'm still not sure what the difference is with this and Interlingua, so also an FAQ file might be good!

Patre Nostro

Patre Nostro,

que es in cielos,

sea sanctificato tuo nome,

venga tuo regno,

sea facta la volonta tua,

como in cielo,

assi in terra.

Da nos oje nostro Pane quotidiano,

e perdona nostras debitas,

como assi perdonamos nostros debitores.

E non inducer nos in tentatione,

mas libera nos del malo.

Amen
