Talk:Neo language

Untitled

This seems an odd issue to get into a disagreement about.

Neo's grammar explicitly resembles that of Esperanto or Ido in the sense that it uses vowels endings to mark parts of speech and (A-E-O = adjective-adverb-noun) and verb tenses (AR-IR-OR-US = present-past-future-conditional, a minor variation on Ido/Esp. AS-IS-OS-US). These clearly come from Esperanto and/or Ido, since they are an invention of Zamenhof's. On the other hand, it's impossible to say whether Esp. or Ido is the source these features, since Alfandari unquestionably knew both languages. Certainly Esperanto is the ultimate source, whether or not they mediated by Ido. On the other hand I don't see any Occidental influence that can't be explained as a general reliance on general European language conventions.

As for Interlingua influence, there are some minor and probably chance resemblences with some pronouns. The plural -S is just standard European. The prepositions don't seem like Interlingua at all, more like Ido, I'd say - though I don't know Ido well.

If I'm missing something here, please point it out to me.CJGB (Chris) 03:22, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Grammar

It would be convenient if there is anybody who would translate grammar section from the Russian wiki.--ArkinAardvark (talk) 01:17, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Notability

First, this article has been online for several years (just look its history). Second, other wikis have it. Third, it is notable as an example and a part of the international auxiliary language movement history. Fourth, three books are quoted, as well as grammar - there are enough references.

So, if this one is erased all other, except maybe Esperanto, can ber erased too because they ˝are not important˝; this article has its validity and place on Wikipedia.

Please, take it a bit more easy with erasing - I'm not spamming, just trying to contribute the conlang themes, as you can see on my user page.

French or English as source?

I have clarified in the introduction that the basic word stock is predominantly Romance, cf. the verbs ami, kanti, vidi, ludi, skribi, the only clearly influenced by English being gi (to go), probably because "i" already means "to have". 46.238.126.199 (talk) 20:14, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
