Ma amis,

It seems like we are about to reach at least a temporary agreement about the grammar based on George's summing up.

The next we really need is some material so beginners, especially beginners without linguistic knowledge, can learn Pijin in a week or two. I think that such a material should have very few technical terms and so on.

I don't know if any group members have some skills in that area. But I hope that we can make Pijin a language that has materials for introduction to beginners. I think that the problem of many constructed languages exactly was that the inventor(s) made a dictionary and a grammar in form of a set of rules and then no more.

Most people need to learn a little by little in form of lessons that make even the very complicated stuff easy and simple. So this is something we should give some serious thoughts.

By the way Pijin seems to be the name of a pidgin language of Solomon Islands. What about Epijin or Europijin???

I wish you all a good week-end!
See you monday or late sunday!
