O ciele ayn oni fine nomon la lengo. (English translation below.
This is my current personal form of reformed Esperanto, which I claim
to be a "Romance based IAL".)

Oni sivu ce la nomo de Yahoo-grupo estan chiande cambebla, tiele ce nova
lengonomo povun tuy isi nomo ance de la grupo. "EuroPidgin" estan lau mi
iele regretinda nomo, ne inspirante respecto (ne ce haban io nolbona pri
pijinos).

Unue, mi consenton ce LFN estan yam lengo nur ciande mi vidon textos
en lo. Til nun, mi vidin nur anglengo e tinengo en la europidgin-mesajos,
qancam mi ne estan leginta chias. Ce planlengo estu fasila nur por tias
cias yam sivan latinida lengo estan, compreneble, contre la esperantisma
vidpuncto, ce planlengo estu fasila por chiulos. Mi ade defendon tia
esperantisma vidpuncto, tamen agnoscante ce Esperanto mem estan nolpli
fasila por asianos ol por anos de latinidas lengos.

Or however one finally names the language.

One should know that the nome of a Yahoo! Group is always changeable,
so that a new name for the language could immediately become also the
name of the group. "EuroPidgin" is in my opinion a somewhat regrettable
name, not inspiring respect (not that there's anything bad about pidgins).

First, I will agree that LFN is already a language only when I see texts
in it. Until now I've seen only English and Tino en la europidgin messages,
though I haven't read all of them. That a planned language should be easy
only for those who have already learned a Romance language is, of course,
contrary to the Esperantic viewpoint that a planned language should be
easy for everyone. I will continually defend such an Esperantic viewpoint,
though acknowledging that Esperanto itself is less easy for Asians than
for speakers of Romance languages.

Let's hope so!
