I was intrigued by the name 'europidgin', so I decided to join. However, I think that what we need is not so much a euro pidgin as a euro creole. For some time now I have been fascinated by the idea of creolizing a 'euroclone', preferably Ido-Novial-Occidental (which essentially share a common vocabulary base). LFN is not of the same standard, but as long as we are permitted to make changes to it, it is as good a place as any to start. I would recommend that before this project starts, we all familiarize ourselves with the prototypical creole grammar, as identified by Bickerton and others. Expertise in oriental isolating langs like Chinese and Vietnamese would also be an advantage.
