Re: [Latejami] No more updates?

Ha, ha! Yes, I too had to look up "engelang" before I could respond properly to your statement, and whilst I am not opposed to non-naturalistic approaches in principle, I certainly found both Lojban and Ithkuil to be decidedly user-unfriendly.

Hi.

No, "engelang" means "engineered language", which could be either a
postetori or a priori, but, I assume, more likely a priori. Examples
include Lojban, Ithkuil and Latejami.

With "naturalistic" I meant ones that works the same way as natural
languages do, and conform to the pink stuff in our heads, and Latejami
is a naturalistic engelang. Lojban and Ithkuil, on the other hand, is
not naturalistic ones.
