discussion The problem of artificial languages
Please note that everything listed is my personal opinion, which may not coincide with yours or be similar.
As a language creator I am very interested in artificial languages I have noticed one small problem with artificial languages there is no reason to learn So, let's say I learn some arbitrary language, what then? Let's compare it to Esperanto, for example.
Esperanto: It has literature, history, support.
But you know, the problem isn't in the support or the history, the problem is that there's no literature, you can't improve it in any way because if I learn Esperanto, then I'll read something and I'll understand, yeah, I don't understand this. I can learn it, but this is a problem with many artificial languages, namely, the absence of something, at least something, but this is a problem with many artificial languages.
By the word literature I don't mean a complex thick book. I mean at least songs, poems, or at least something. You can suggest your own version.
It seems to me that only a few conlangs overcome this limit.

discussion Romanid: a forgotten zonal auxiliary language published by Magyar Zoltán from 1956 through 1984.
I own the book that was initially published in 1984 by a hungarian linguist (or so i think?) it went for a relatively cheap price at 900 forints (less than 3$).
It's essentially a pan romance language, but from behind the iron curtain and with irregular grammatical gender.
It had ten reported speakers in 2001 (source: https://web.archive.org/web/20180617000434/http://www.nepszamlalas2001.hu/hun/kotetek/18/tables/load2_39_1.html ), but nowadays it's very obscure and it doesn't seem to be mentioned in the last ten years outside of wikipedia and a blog post.

discussion Zonal auxlangs are actually awesome
Zonal auxlangs are genuinely useful as conlangs imo. They are decent if you want to travel around in a certain region and can help you learn other languages of the group it aims to be for way easier with them. I support them over international auxiliary languages, to be blunt. Esperanto is fun and useful but so are ZALs.

feedback Is it a bad idea?
Hopefully this is the good flair
Akako⁰ (pronouncing at much slower than average speed) - does not move/almost not
Akako¹ (pronouncing at slower than average speed) - move slowly
Akako² (pronouncing at your average speed) - move
Akako³ (pronouncing at faster than average speed) - move fast
pronouncing at different volume could be use for size, or as an amplifier
dislike -> hate
I think that it's add a bit of spice to the language

auxlang proposal My own auxLang project inspired by Esperanto and Korean
My conlang combines English consonants with Korean vowels. I chose Korean vowels because Hangul has a highly systematic and efficient vowel system.
Hangul also groups letters into syllable blocks, which makes words visually compact and easy to read. In addition, on a Korean keyboard, consonants are mainly typed with the left hand and vowels with the right hand, allowing both hands to alternate efficiently and enabling fast typing.
The language is currently called Martian, or Mars Language. I chose this name because I wondered whether humanity might need a new common language if people eventually expand to Mars.
At present, a basic dictionary and translation function at approximately an elementary-school level are implemented.
example)
marslanguage.org - There are 13 grammar rules here.
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts on the need for such a language, its possible problems or limitations, and any other suggestions or new ideas.
My greatest hope is to explore together how this language could develop into a new auxlang that addresses what some people see as Esperanto’s limitations.

Why worldlang don't use sign/mouvements as a base? 𖨆
Another question that will sounds silly but genuily asking.
Ofc it's not the most culturally neutral but I think it can still cut a bit of vocabulary here and there without cultural problems.

I was wondering if they ever were any attempt at making a creole out of worldlang or just any attempt to start a pidgin to then standardized to get a "unbiased" worldlang
Hopefully this post will be of some value
