... Well, in Tokyo there really wasn't any damage, so it's more watching TV and seeing the destruction up north. There is some danger from the nuclear plants,...
I am glad too that you're alright, Jens! Also I am worried about Zein. There's a civil war in Libya and we haven't heard about him in a while, at least not in...
... It really is Zein that we should be worrying about. As you said, we haven't heard from him in a while, and my understanding is that he comes from the area...
I realised this long ago, that if anything happens to a conlanger, nobody will ever know, since we only know each other through the Internet. I joined the...
... I admit I wasn't too worried about you, Jens; unless you were traveling, you were too far away. (Our relatives once called us in Fairbanks, Alaska, more...
... Hopefully it's because there is no internet in Lybia. Kadafi could see that events in Egypt and elsewhere had been arranged through internet, so perhaps he...
... I have a cousin living on the island of Hawaii. She said Kona was hit by the tsunami but Hilo, where she lives wasn't really affected. Most of my family...
... Japan is becoming an unstable place to live in because of increasing earthquakes. Someone suggested, and I personally would support resettlement of those...
Hao dey, kare Dmitry ! I heard Zhirinovsky suggested that, but he's not a trustworthy politician, rather a populist. And don't forget there are still...
... I certainly wouldn't call it unstable by any means. Being a native Californian, I've been in a number of quakes myself. They aren't as big of a deal as...
... Thanks for the suggestion! But let me just point out a couple of issues. One is that the earthquakes aren't really increasing. Japan has always been...
... I would say that depends on the earthquake! For people living in Kobe in 1995, and I actually went there myself to do reporting for a magazine, I can...
... Hao dey, kare Olivier! Surya es rare gasta she nu, duran ol hima it yok-te. Yedoh pa laste para dey es ga surya-ney, also me jui hao meteo. Sun go promeni....
... The last one was the biggest in history, wasn't it? But the problem is perhaps not so much in the earthquakes themselves as in nuclear plants. I've seen...
... That could be an option in case of catastrophic nuclear contamination of large areas of Japan. Probably and hopefully it's not going to happen. -- Risto...
... I was reading an article recently about how there hasn't been any looting in Japan after the quake. Very unusual considering in most places there would be...
I'm currently reading Mario Pei's "One Language for the World". I noticed some non-European words in the sample of Kovalyov's Mezhdunarodny Nauchny Yazyk....
Terve, I've found some info here: http://miresperanto.narod.ru/esperantologio/dulichenko-istorija.htm It says that A.P.Kovalyov's project uses mostly roots...
From Mario Pei's One Language for the World: Wilhelm von Arnim's Veltparl of 1896 introduces the novel idea of applying declension not to the noun, but to the...
Sellamat Risto ! ... Just like Sambahsa...: is kwaun, ios kwaun, ei kwaun, iom kwaun. ... However, Faiguet doesn't tell this explicitly. He seems rather...
Hello Olivier, ... Leibniz was influenced by Chinese and he acknowledged it. So did Francis Bacon and Jean Douet before him, when they proposed universal...
... They weren't going by real Chinese but the hype about Chinese. Jespersen wrote in _An International Language_ that Peano thought Chinese grammar meant no...
... I hate Budinos ! Esperanto desguised with Finnish-like words... (moreover, "budinos" makes me think at the French word for "blutwurst"). ... This sounds...
... To tell you the truth, I don't know the languages that you mention at all, except Sambahsa, so I can't make that comparison. My idea was to make a language...
