According to my understanding Slovio is not schematic
Igor:
It seems to me that the aim of languages like Slovio is the same as Standard German. To allow speakers of different languages or dialects to communicate between each other even though their languages or dialects are not mutually intelligible. If we look at Standard German, it is NOT simplified. It has gender and a lot of features that would not fit into a schematic language. Why is it that Slovio and GS-Slov'anski try to be schematic?

GS-Sl and e.g. Esperanto are schematic (simplified). For my understanding Slovio is not.
Slovio´s aim is to follow the development of e.g. Hochdeutsch (Highlandgerman, Standard German).
The author of today´s German, Mr. Martin Luther, did not care that much that quite a few German dialects had only two cases instead of four. So for millions of German Hochdeutsch is a horror!
I hope that Slovio will not do the same mistake.
Slovio is not a simplified language ( it is easier to learn, by reducing the exceptions as much as possible), and what is more it is an open language, whereas schematic languages are designed by nature to be closed.
Slovio developers say that Slovio is a Slavic Esperanto or that Slovio is the same easy as or even easier than Esperanto.
When one then points out some parts of Slovio grammar are definitely more difficult that the corresponding Esperanto ones, Slovio developers answer that Slovio is a natural fusion of Slavic languages, similar to Hochdeutsch, and they start to criticise Esperanto.
I'd really like to know from which Slavic language the -(i)s ending has been adopted during this natural fusion.
Every Slavic language has an illogical gender. If Slovio gets rid of it or makes it logical it makes it a schematic language.
Also, you didn't reply about the soft n sound. Every Slavic language has it. Also, soft t and d are very common. I forgot which languages or dialects are missing them.
Hellerick:
I guess I missed something.
What is logical and illogical gender?
===
Logikju: n.pr.: ona, on, mlodica, mlodic
---
nelogikju: (to) sunce, (ta) lisxka, (ten) dom
And this "illogical" gender is possessed by all Slavic languages, so by your logic if Slovio is the highest common denominator, it should possess it too.
