Hi Viktoro or should I say kumusta ka;-)

Thanks for the first comments and suggestions to EuroPidgin. I really appreciate it.

Well, you are right so far that there perhaps is lesser doubt about how to pronounce "k" compared to "c". However, I know that a very common criticism against NOVIAL is that it replaced "c" by "k" and "s". It was said that the replacements made wellknown words hard to recognize. EuroPidgin use "s" but keeps "c" for /k/.

Again I think that you have good arguments. On the other hand It also here make wellknown words harder to recognize.

But anyway thanks for the comments they are a good starting point for an open discussion, so let os see what other people think about your suggestions.
