Not seldom, people from the so called 1st word
surprises me, demonstrating a total ignorance about a lot of
global subjects mainly  what they think to come
from the uncultured third world.
The romance languages which evolved from the
vulgar Latin spoken in all Iberian Peninsula and
Pireneus mountains, except for
Basque Country, constitutes a group o highly
evolved languages, all very similar one the other.
Indeed they are all dialects in several grades,
on of the other, and they share  more then 80% of
a common lexicon of about 300.000 words.
One that says that LFN is a poor Spanish, may say
too that´s a poor Portuguese, or Galego, or
Castilian, or Andalucian, or Mirandes, or several
other romances languages spoken in Iberian Peninsula.
Probably such person have only know about
Spanish, not about the other, and even don´t know that Spanish
does not exist as language, is the wrong name of
Castilian, the correct name what Americans call Spanish.
They do not know also the immense difference that
exist between the high complexities of such languages and LFN.
Only to have a pale idea: We normally speak in a
very gentle way, speaking what I say that´s  a soft way of speaking.
In this manner all crispy and potentially rude
tenses and ways of expression are avoided.
But if we need to be precise, even more gentle or
rude or very, very rude, without using offensive
words, these languages offer the proper way of doing that.
The same we can´t do with LFN, at least up to now.
Other point:
Iberian romance languages speakers do not need of
any constructed language or lingua franca to make one understand the other.
 From Rio Grande, in Mexico up to Terra del Fuego
in Patagonia, Brazil included, and in all Iberian
Peninsula, Portugal included we use already a common informal language.
And last but not least, Spanish and Portuguese
are the first language for more than 800 million people around the word.

Bests Regards,
Antonio
