Me, I'm so prosaic - I just think it would be fun to know every Indoeuropean language in existence, past and present. If I could find a year or two in my calendar I would definitely go for the Slavic languages, and if the spelling was less absurd it would also be fun to add the Celtic languages. And Albanese, but probably not Hittitte and Tocharian because they are utterly stone dead and not even chic.

Oh, you're not the only one. I have Latin, Old French and Middle French on my list, and I've already flirted with Irish and Persian. It's fascinating seeing how they fit together. Somewhere in my notes I have a collection of 1-10 in fifty or more Indoeuropean languages. Fascinating stuff.

No, it was Europanto. Do a search on the forum since there was a thread which mentioned this a while ago. As vilas said, it's easy but above all else, it's fun!

Maybe I'll give it a look. I already speak Esperanto, but I need to really work on it to bring my level of fluency up to snuff. Is it an offshoot of Esperanto?
Vilas, if you like mixed languages, maybe you would be interested in learning Esperanto/Europanto/Interlingua, etc.

Interlingua es un lingua auxiliar international. Illo non ha essite create como un joco de alicun amante del linguas, ma per linguistas professional, con le objectivo de extraher le vocabulario international del linguas del mundo occidental.
Le resultato de iste minutiose labor de recerca es un lingua facile, del aspecto natural, e international: multe milliones de personas pote comprender lo sin studio previe!
This one above is Interlingua , I never studied but I understand it because it is a kind of modern latin with the addition of the word more used in the Western World
Europanto est esto aqui' , very facil to capire , if usted has une knowledge basica de un mixer of europeane idiomas , you est sufficient melanger as tu quieres e fazer ta personale version of EuroPanto....it is muy easy , a little of Spanhol, un peu de Englando , un poco di Portugalu , poquito de Italiano, Germano, Hollando und otras mots qui sont iternationnaly connues de Russki, or whatever te gusta....
No Grammar No rules Only fun
In Google you put "Europanto" and "Interlingua" and you'll find a reasonable number of funny people that play with these two inventions....
Esperanto , I don't know , and I Think it's boring....
