Hi Hellerick.
You must have omited in purpose what I advised - type-in Esperanto.. After that try "Interligua' or the other, "Lingua Franka" in Google, and THEN then compare it all... As far as the "vulgarity" of Esperanto goes. Well Pal... To by able to judge anything at all one must know at least a little bit about the subject. Proving total ignorance, as far as this goes will help nobody, neither you, too. Facts speak otherwise, and they speak the best about themselves - nobody can do ever anythng about it. This is why facts are always so very enraging to anyone who wishies to push into others' throats some theories or projects that FACTS prove to be wrong or just some fony claims.
Besides, do you think that creator of Slovio project, Mark Hucko, would ask Esperantists for help in Slovio project if he believed them to be some vulgar bunch, with nothing to offer in the field of planned languages? You would be amazed at the amount of knowledge and expertise in many fields of science, and in particular humanist, great precentage of Esperantists accomodated and have present in their movement! Observing this forum some time I noticed that as far as vulgarity is concerned, you Helleric could have sometimes serve well as one of the best vulgarity examples, Pal. Slovio is Slavic planed language project and it must rely mainly on Slavic speakers as main and fundamental social portent, no matter what. This is Slovio's gratest strength. But you ought to know, too, that Esperanto's strength is also based mainly on speakers of Slavic languages - even if never planned so - and till now Slavs still form main, biggest and strongest column of that movement. Do you reckon, Helleric, Slavs are vulgar, then? After your posts I often got such impression, Mate. I can't help but wonder then, why bother about Slovio and Slavs, why not let them be as they are, in your own words, vulgar, primitive, ignorant Slavs. Lets learn some ILUMINATED GERMAN... We are the way we are and we wanna stay the way we are, Mate... Nobody can force you or anyone to learn or use Slovio or Slovianski, or Esperanto, or any other planned language, for that matter...
