http://ia.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlingua your mind's gonna be like 'aw hell naw this is italian!' but just read the text and you'll understand like 90% of it :O same concept as esperanto but much easier to learn apparently and if you read it it says it could be used as an abstract inter-language for when computers are used as sentence translators, which has a lot of potential too I think  | ||

Should we really be able to understand most of that? I understood alot of the stuff based on me knowing some spanish. | ||

I can't speak Spanish, but since my dad's side of the family speaks it all the time I've picked up on some basic structures, honestly if it wasn't for that I probably wouldn't understand any of it.It reads so much like Spanish I can understand the whole thing (with just one word here and there that escapes me). I'm curious to see how everyone fares at this. If you just speak English, is it understandable? | ||

It's much for fun then any other language also i find most asian languages shouldn't rap it's cheating when outright all your words end with vowels. All langs are romantic when said right by the right person also | ||

Anyone who has no background of Romance languages and only English... can you read it? I'm only fluent in English (took some French when I was younger but remember almost nothing) and I can't understand very much. The first sentence is very clear, but I hardly understand any of the rest. I really think it's the close relation to Spanish that makes it so accessible for some people. Edit: Wow, Korean, English and some Spanish? How many languages do you know??? :O I'm also impressed with your commentating, it's really coming along. Keep up the good work.  | ||

Huh. I always though that it was, but you are correct. It is a germanic language. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_languages That being said, english borrows shamelessly from everywhere. | ||

It is a germanic language. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romance_languages That being said, english borrows shamelessly from everywhere. the origin of the english vocabulary is like 50% from romance languages. English borrowed extensively after 1066 from french, before that a little from latin and much later again from latin. English is a western germanic language (as are german and dutch). | ||

That's similar with any Romanic language though. I only speak Italian as a third language, and still I have no major problems reading French or Spanish (or Interlingua). Listening comprehension, active writing or speaking are another story of course. | ||

English = germanic language (With lots of romance influences, mainly from French) Dunno in how far this will work though. I guess it's aim is to become an international language, but it's so much easier to learn for people with a germanic/romanic language background than people whose native language is from another family. Taking that into account how usefull will it be. Speakers for whom this is easy to pick up live, probably, in countries where English/Spanish is taught in schools etc anyway. Also it's always questionable if a artificial language like this can become a native language (the answers is probably yes but I wouldn;t risk fucking up my children to find out) | ||

But I've been learning french since I was little because I live near Brussels. I also know german, polish and ofc. english (and a little bit of 한극말 !) To those saying it would never work as an international language or w/e. Ofcourse it wouldnt. People are too damn proud about their stupid language. But read this: Finalmente, un interlingua pote esser un linguage abstracte intermediari usate in le traduction per computator de linguas human. the grammar of this language is so damn easy that translation devices everywhere could be set to translating to and from interlingua | ||

If someone used google to translate something from Spanish to English they'd understand more of it than trying to read this. It only helps if you already know a language that's similar. Could you ever imagine speaking this? It would sound terrible. Perhaps you should actually read what I say It'd go Spanish -> interlingua -> English and the same for any Language X to language Y Not spanish -> interlingua and you figure out the rest. Did you miss the part where I said the grammar is really simple, thus making it easier on translation algoritms? Understanding interlingua is another aspect of how handy this language is. Not the only aspect. | ||
