Un article interesante de la Engles como lingua mundal: si la Engles es o esera la lingua mundal e ce Engles esera la "Engles mundal".

Io no sabeva de la Engles spesial, usante solo 1500 parolas (min ce la LFN?):

A variety of restricted subsets of English have been developed to meet the needs of nonfluent speakers. Among these is Special English, which the Voice of America began using in its broadcasts experimentally some forty years ago and has employed part-time ever since. Special English has a basic vocabulary of just 1,500 words (The American Heritage Dictionary contains some 200,000 words, and the Oxford English Dictionary nearly 750,000), though sometimes these words are used to define non-Special English words that VOA writers deem essential to a given story. Currently VOA uses Special English for news and features that are broadcast a half hour at a time, six times a day, seven days a week, to millions of listeners worldwide.

Please correct my LFN, I had a hard time saying "what kind of English".
