Esperanto has a bit of a stilted feel to it to me, I must admit.
Europanto, though, looks more like a hodgepodge of languages...it looks like words from European languages put in at random. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

That's Europanto? but it seems more like a code for English just with Spanish, French, German, words thrown in place of the English ones. I wonder if non-English speakers can understand this as easily? I doubt it. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I think that Europanto is a strong candidate for the most rigoloso language, and few of the homepages about it leave any doubt that it should be taken as a joke. But a quite good joke, - I have just studied this Belgian homepage where you can find more than 100 texts in the special Eurocrat style, but formulated in Europanto. After reading that it has become even more difficult to take the European Union seriously.
I hereby express my deepest gratitude to its Italian creator Diego Marani, trahisseur au Secrétariat Général du Conseil des Ministres de l'Union Européenne à Bruxelles! By the way I don't see why English speaking people should have an easier time with this language than anybody else. It's a misspelled mixture of just about any language used in the EU plus Latin.

Europanto is suitable for aspiring polyglots, I mean just a little bit polyglots, it is for somebody curious about other languages and cultures , unfortunately many english-speaking people are not part of this gang. Europanto is a mishmash of Western European Languages. but there is also the Eastern European version : Slovio that is a mixture of Russian,Serbian;Croatian,Slovak,Polish etc.etc I asked to a friend of mine , a Bulgarian to tell me how it sounds to him and I gave her a writing in Slovio and she understood everything ...........and laughed a lot also because it is funny like Europanto.... if you know some Slavic language search "slovio" in google. there a 2 versions , latin and cyrillic... 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||
