Sellamat prients! Udiviteljno chto Dmitry ne mne zadal ètot vopros! "Ban" is a very widespread root, of IE origin, maybe from Nostratic, but it owes its...

... Florent, it's not a bad idea. For the moment, I have adopted mi/yu/ta, which is good in that the three words are easy to distinguish, but bad in that it is...
... Those pronouns sound nice in my opinion too. Two of them also are identical with Nostratic pronouns, namely "mi" and "ti", if that's worth anything. -- ...
... Of course, "yu" fits better in your system. But in Pandunia, pronouns are associated with possessive "ke", so "tu, ti, yu" are all posssible choices. -- ...

Hi, I have sometimes claimed that Pandunia has free word order. I'm not sure is it entirely true. Pandunia has freer word order than some other languages, but...
... I'm not exactly sure, but I think there is some principle that you are following (and that I follow in NP as well). It's something like "proximity" but ...
... Exactly! I call it pairing, but proximity is a good word too. I believe that it is universal. Speech is sequential. When we speak, words come out one after...
... By the way, referring to the discussion that is currently taking place in Auxlang, the fact that the "proximity principle" is universal is very important...
Here's an update to bring some life to this list. I haven't worked with Pandunia recently, because I got tired of it. So it's on hold for a while. Probably I...

Terve! Pandunian "jan" on suomeksi "henkilö", siis ihminen tai ihmisenkaltainen olento. Esimerkiksi keijut ja peikot ovat henkilöitä, mutta eivät ihmisiä....

Hi, I updated the English side of Pandunia site (http://www.kupsala.net/risto/pandunia/english) a little. I corrected some inconsistencies and made some small...
Greetings, I figured out a new scheme for Pandunia's vocabulary. I talked about it months ago with "the LangX team" and finally I'm about to take it into use...
Sellamat Risto ! This seems to be a good idea. Though I've not followed a pre-determined scheme, you will notice that most simple words of Sambahsa are (Indo)-...

Hi Risto, you may also consider DEN, from Mandarin deng3 meaning "sort, kind". Now it means mostly sort but in III-V centuries it was widely used as a plural...
