I agree very much. I think that it would be a very good idea if people as soon as possible start to write in whatever Romance IAL they prefer
I'm somehow also fascinated of your idea about a "democratic" language. Well, I don't believe in that each man/woman should make his/hers own language, but some degree of liberty would not harm much.
If a person prefers "k" for "c" or replaces all "z" with "s" I think people could still read and understand the text. I'm from one of the scandinavian countries. We don't have much difficulties in understanding our neigbours languages although they spell it a little differently.
> Sixth question. There arent' problems using just "r" to show the infinitive.
Perhaps not in a "creole" language. But one of the big questions is: Do a "pidgin" language really need "-r", "-va", "-ra" etc. for the verbs????
Hmmmmmm....... do you suggest a plural ending for adjectives?????
Nouns OK! But adjectives....???
> Ninth question. The most internationally known vocabulary is the Occidental one, so using Occidental vocabulary in Europidgin is the best startpoint.
More hmmmmm..... Is it???? What about Interlingua???
Anyway here in EuroPidgin we only talk about internationally known vocabulary in Europe and in North and South America. Europe need an IAL. Let other people try to create a global IAL.
